Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the worldâ€™s education system, including Malaysia. This disruption has affected approximately 1.6 billion students in more than 200 countries. The closure of educational institutions has caused various changes in peopleâ€™s lives. This research examines the associations between institutional support, perceptions of usefulness, personal innovation, perceived social pressure, and age with the application of technology among teachers from rural schools in Johor. One hundred ten teachers were involved in this study. The results showed that perceived usefulness, personal innovativeness, and perceived social pressure had influenced technology adoption among the teachers from rural schools.

Keywords: Technology application, e-learning, teaching and learning process
