Scale Development to Assess Instructors’ Intention to use Technology and E-Learning in Libyan Higher Education

Abstract

This paper describes the development an instrument to assess faculty intention to use technology and e-learning in Libyan higher education (LHE). In spite of the research that has been conducted to examine the factors that explain faculties’ intention to use technology and e-learning, few have developed an instrument to determine these factors. Four independent variables (computer-internet experience, computer self-efficacy, technology-internet quality, and attitudes toward use) intention to use technology and e-learning used as a dependent variable. It is significant to know and assess the variables that influence faculty intention to use technology and e-learning. The final retained 25-item intention to use technology and e-learning instrument was acceptable with sample size 136. Based on the findings, this article proposes guidelines for further investigation by applying statistical analysis on another sample to show the relations by the four independent variables and the dependent variable intention to use.
