Genişletilmiş Teknoloji Kabul Modeli Çerçevesinde SPSS’in Yararlılığı ve İstatistiksel Bilgi Talebine Uyum Algısı

Öz

Eğitim kurumları sürekli olarak öğrencilerin çalışmalarında istatistiksel bilgiye duydukları ihtiyacı ve istatistiksel yazılım desteğinin uyumluluğunu izlemek durumundadır. Bu nedenle, bu çalışmada teknoloji kabul modeli (TKM) kuramsal çerçevesinde Sosyal Bilimler İçin İstatistik Programı (SPSS) yazılımının yararlılığı ve istatistiki bilgi talepleri ile algılanan uyumluluk arasındaki ilişkiler incelenmiştir. Araştırma 300 lisans ve yüksek lisans öğrencisi üzerinde genişletilmiş bir model ile test edilmiştir. Araştırmada dört boyuttan ve (SPSS’in yararları, SPSS’in kullanım kolaylığı, SPSS’i kullanmaya yönelik tutum ve niyet) on sekiz madden oluşan anket kullanılmıştır. Model, iki aşamalı bir yapısal eşitlik modeli kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmamızın önemli sonucu şudur ki; öğrencilerin çalışmaları sırasında karşılaştıkları istatistiksel bilgi talebi ile uyumluluk algıları, SPSS yararlılık algısı ve kullanım kolaylığı algısını etkileyerek onların SPSS yazılımı kullanmaya yönelik tutumları ve niyetlerinin oluşumu üstünde önemli rol oynamaktadır. Eğitim kurumları SPSS kullanımı hakkında bilgilerini ve gelecekte SPSS kullanımını arttırmak için hedef odaklı bir yaklaşım içinde bulunmaları gerekir.

Extended Model TAM of Perceived Usefulness of SPSS and Perceived Compatibility with Demands for Statistical Knowledge within Studies

Abstract

Educational institutions must constantly monitor the compliance of students with statistical software support and statistical software support. For this reason, the usefulness of statistical software for social sciences (SPSS) software in the theoretical framework of technology acceptance model (TAM) and the relationship between statistical information requirements and perceived compatibility are examined in this study. The study has been tested with an extended model on 300 undergraduate and graduate students. Eighteen questionnaires were used in the study in four dimensions and (the benefits of SPSS, ease of use of SPSS, attitude and intention to use SPSS). The model was analyzed using a two-stage structural equation model. The important consequence of our research is that; students' perceptions of compliance with the statistical information requests and their perceptions of SPSS usefulness and ease-of-use affect their perception of the attitudes and intentions to use SPSS software. Educational institutions should have knowledge of the use of SPSS and a goal-oriented approach to increasing the use of SPSS in the future.
