Abstract : Perpustakaan Tuanku Bainun
In Malaysia, there is widespread recognition that technology can play a significant role in supplementing and complimenting the process of teacher_s teaching and learning. Given current recognition of the advancement of educational technology, as well as the high costs of investing in schools or higher institutions, this study attempted understand teachers_ acceptance of blended e-learning in teaching and learning. It examines the effects of the endogenous variables towards with blended e-learning acceptance, which involved 98 teachers. Computer attitudes (CA), computer teaching efficacy (CTE), school environment (SE) and Moodle use (CU) were analysed to understand its influences in Moodle use. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was employed for the data analysis. All hypotheses were supported by the data and have direct effects towards blended e-learning acceptance. Keywords Educational technology, technology integration, Moodle, structural equation modelling
