Abstract
The problem this study sought to address was faculty reluctance to use new online peer-assessment tools. The purpose of this study was to examine the motivational factors that influence acceptance of the Peer Assessment Collaboration Evaluation (PACE) Tool among faculty employed at a mid-sized university in the Southeastern United States. This study used Davis's (1986) technology acceptance model (TAM) and motivational constructs "attitude toward using, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use" (p. 44). The researcher used simple linear regression and standard multiple regression to determine if there was a significant relationship, if any, between the motivational constructs. The simple linear regression analyses indicated large, significant linear relationships for the following pairs of constructs: "attitude toward using and perceived usefulness" (Davis, 1986, p. 133) with R2 = .761, F(1, 49) = 156.043, p < .05, f2 = 3.18; "attitude toward using . . . and perceived ease of use" (Davis, 1986, p. 44) with R2 = .394, F(1, 50) = 32.479, p < .05, f2 = .65; and "perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use" (Davis, 1986, p. 24) with R2 = .544, F(1, 52) = 21.865, p < .05, f2 = .42. Additionally, the standard multiple regression found perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of the PACE Tool to be predictors of attitude toward using the PACE Tool with R2 = .776, F(2, 48) = 83.130, p < .05. Cohen's f2 was 3.46 for this analysis, indicating a large effect size.
