Integrating Technology For Sustainability: An SEM Study On Pupil Teachers’ Attitudes And Technological Self-Efficacy Within UTAUT 2.0

Abstract

Technology evolution is a dynamic process that has driven significant changes across various industries, including education. The rapid development of educational technology has transformed the traditional teaching-learning paradigm, necessitating new approaches for integrating digital tools into the classroom. This study is based on the premise that both pupils and instructors will play pivotal roles in shaping the future of education and that their technological self-efficacy will significantly influence the successful adoption of technology in educational settings. The study aims to assess the attitude of pupil teachers towards technology and their technological self-efficacy using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) 2.0 model. The research hypothesis was tested using IBM SPSS AMOS 26.0, and the collected data were analyzed to evaluate the proposed relationships. The UTAUT 2.0 model served as the research framework, while Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed as the analytical technique to validate the model.This research also aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), which seeks to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. By investigating the technological readiness of pupil teachers, the study contributes to understanding how digital pedagogies can be leveraged to achieve educational inclusivity and quality, thereby supporting the broader objectives of SDG 4 in fostering innovation and quality enhancement in education.
