Description
Summary:<p>Teachers, students, and education stakeholders globally had been exploring ways to</p><p>mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the education sectors. One solution</p><p>that has rapidly gained traction is the use of Google Classroom platform to provide</p><p>instructions to students. The main aim of this study is remodeling a Re-Imagining</p><p>UTAUT2 in using Google Classroom platform among Science teachers amid pandemic.</p><p>This study adopted the two-steps approach of modeling and analysing the structural</p><p>model namely, Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling</p><p>through SPSS-AMOS 24.0 software. The survey method with simple random sampling</p><p>technique involving 421 selected respondents was used. The proposed model has</p><p>attained the fit indices (RMSEA=0.038, CFI=0.951, /df=1.519). The results of the</p><p>regression showed the eight exogenous constructs contribute 87% towards Behavioural</p><p>Intention (BI) to use Google Classroom platform while BI contributes 52% to Actual</p><p>use (AU). Performance expectancy (PE), Perceived Compatibility (PC), Social</p><p>Influence (SI) and facilitating condition (FC) had significant influence on BI.</p><p>Meanwhile, Hedonic Motivation, Habits, Price Value and Effort Expectancy has no</p><p>significant influence on BI. BI had significant influence on AU. Age, gender, teaching</p><p>experiences and educational background moderate the relationship between PE, PC, SI,</p><p>and FC to BI. In conclusion, the Re-Imagining UTAUT2 had successfully been</p><p>remodeled. This developed novel model enhanced our comprehension of the power of</p><p>the Google Classroom platform and clarified current outcomes, strengthening the</p><p>understanding, insights, and viewpoints of the science teachers to use Google</p><p>Classroom platform. Perceived compatibility on behavioural intention to use Google</p><p>Classroom platform and educational background of the teachers as moderator are novel</p><p>findings and provide added scientific knowledge to the current literature. The</p><p>implication is that the usage of Google Classroom platform is being accepted among</p><p>science teachers and is continued accordingly on a hybrid basis in teaching and learning.</p>
