The Relationship

Indonesian Eastern Fleet Training Command currently has the facilities to train professional soldiers in the shooting.A simulator facility in the form of computer-based clinic shooting is called Virtual Arms Solution FTS D-423 (VAS).Need to analyse the relationship between perceived ease of use and usefulness of VAS in order to determine thelevel of acceptance. Both these factors are modelled by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) which canexplain the factors that influence the actual receipt of the use of technology. After that, the relationship between thetwo factors that have been modelled with the Technology Acceptance Model to be treated using Path Analysis(Path Analysis). Where the path analysis was used to analyse the causal relationships between variables in order todetermine the effect of the direct and indirect causes of the variable to a variable result. Based on the analysis anddiscussion, it is obtained as follows that the ease and usefulness of a positive effect on Attitude using VAS positiveeffect on Behavioural Intention using VAS. Behavioural intentions affect the Actual Usage.Keywords: Virtual Arms Solution, Technology Acceptance Model, Path Analysis.

<p>Open educational resources (OER) are making their way into a variety of educational contexts from formal lesson planning to just in time learning. Educators and training professionals have been recognized as an important audience for these materials. The concepts of <em>self</em>-<em>efficacy</em> and <em>outcome judgment</em> from social cognitive learning theory serve as theoretical constructs to measure educator perceptions of OER. This study uses a path analysis, based on the technology acceptance model, to understand adoption of these resources by this audience with a particular emphasis on self-efficacy. Among the participants, three main groups were identified: K-12 educators, higher education professionals, and those involved in workplace training. A discriminant function analysis found that K-12 educators stood out as finding OER relevant to improving their practice. Recommendations are made in regards to an emphasis on easy to use designs to improve application self-efficacy of OER and instructional messaging for future K-12 educators.</p>

Acceptance Model

E-commerce offers speed, convenience, and often cost-effectiveness for today’s busy shopper, but most e-commerce sites are still too hard to use. The problem with e-commerce sites is the controls and organization are different for each site. The question is that “Do e-commerce users need a standard navigation system to make e-commerce sites easy to use?” This research investigates how an individual’s perceptions of key beliefs surrounding the use of the e-commerce site with the standard navigation system would influence the individual’s decision to accept these e-commerce sites for online shopping purposes. This study applies the technology acceptance model (TAM), identifying components of usefulness, ease of use, and richness that predict user attitude toward the usage of the standard navigation system. The research uses a Web-based survey and is tested by TAM with path analysis. There are 129 subjects in the pretest samples. The study could identify features of the standard navigation system that might contribute to its usefulness, ease of use, and richness. The study would determine whether the standard navigation system would increase the usability of e-commerce or not. It could thus provide implications about usefulness, ease of use, and richness for e-commerce developers and practitioners.
