Unpacking Chinese University Music Teachers’ Technology Adoption: A Mixed- Method Approach
关键词:
technology adoption, music teacher, China摘要
This study adopted a mixed-method approach to unpack Chinese university music teachers’ technology adoption, on the basis of the technology acceptance model and the semi-structured interviews to obtain deep understandings of their usage experience. Results indicated Chinese university music teachers perceived positively on technology use in music education. Their intentions to use technology were significantly predicted by perceived usefulness and their attitudes. In addition, music teachers’ attitudes towards using technology in teaching were significantly explained by perceived usefulness and ease of use. Perceived usefulness was explained by their perceptions of ease of use. This way, the technology acceptance model was approved as useful and valid in explaining Chinese university music teachers’ technology adoption. The findings from the semi-structured interviews for music English teachers showed that technology adoption was useful in content delivery and teacher-student interactions, especially during the pandemic era. Despite its usefulness, music teachers admitted that online teaching was not as satisfactory as traditional hands-on tutoring. A lack of design thinking involving technology and difficulty in diverting from their accustomed teaching habit are two main challenges for them. Suggestions are provided to improve music teachers’ design thinking and technology adoption.
