• In Event: Computer and Internet Applications in Education Poster Session

Abstract

Assessment studies using Structural Equation Modeling and Rasch Model have long been prominent in all the areas of educational psychology. However, such methodological approaches have rarely taken place in the arena of information and communication technology (ICT) in tertiary education. As such, this study assesses Chinese lecturers’ expression of ICT satisfaction through the technology satisfaction model. Data from 196 lecturers were collected using stratified random sampling and analyzed applying structural equation modeling and the Rasch model. Findings suggested that lecturers’ satisfaction around ICT use was explored by the three underlying antecedents of: computer self-efficacy, perceived usefulness and ease of use. The findings would support future researchers, academicians and practitioners in performing technological measurements in all the arenas of tertiary education.
