Abstract

The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) examines the acceptance and use of one technology at a time. With the increase in the availability of technology and demand for technological skills in future workers, teacher tech use will likely remain higher than in the past. This study investigated change fatigue’s relationship with the TAM3 by surveying secondary teachers from a suburban school district on the east coast of the United States before the COVID-19 pandemic. Preliminary analysis between change fatigue and TAM variables found a relationship between change fatigue and perceived usefulness. Final analysis will conduct correlations between change fatigue and all TAM3 variables, including the determinants of perceived usefulness, prior to the final submission.
