§ As catalyzed by the internaFonal trend, eLearning in the Philippines is gaining momentum.
§ Silliman University’s Strategic Plan for SY 2008 -‐2016 spelled out eLearning curricular integraFon and development through research.
§ Results of the study may serve as Silliman University’s management decision-‐making tool in realizing their strategic plan.
Ascertain the level of acceptance for an eTest Generator by answering the following research quesFons:
1. What is the level of perceived usefulness of an eTest Generator as an eLearning tool?
2. What is the level of perceived ease of use of an eTest Generator as an eLearning tool?
3. Is there a relaFonship between perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of an eTest Generator as an eLearning tool?
Ø AXtude paradigm of Fishbein and Ajzen: 1. specifies how to measure the behavior-‐relevant
components of aXtudes, 2. disFnguishes between beliefs and aXtudes, and 3. specifies how external sFmuli are causally linked to
beliefs, aXtudes, and behavior.
Ø The gap between success in informaFon system (IS) and its users can be bridged by determining the users’ level of acceptance prior to the development and implementaFon of the IS (Davis, 1993).
Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) of Fred D. Davis
Ø ProspecFve user’s overall aXtude toward using a given system is hypothesized to be a major determinant of whether or not he/she actually uses it.
Ø AXtude toward using (ATU) is a funcFon to 2 beliefs/cogniFve responses: 1. Perceived usefulness (PU) 2. Perceived ease of use (PEU)
Ø DescripFve-‐correlaFve method Ø Survey quesFonnaire Ø StaFsFcal treatment of data
1. Frequency and Percentage 2. Weighted Means 3. Pearson Product-‐Moment CorrelaFon Coefficient

The Instrument: (adapted from Davis, 1991)
Answering the Research QuesPons: 1. What is the level of perceived usefulness of an eTest Generator as an eLearning tool
among the respondents? With a high weighted mean of 5.8, the respondents perceived eTest as a useful eLearning tool for SUCN.
2. What is the level of perceived ease of use of an eTest Generator as an eLearning tool among the respondents?
With a high weighted mean of 5.2, the respondents perceived eTest Generator as somewhat easy to use as an eLearning tool for SUCN.
3. Is there a relaFonship between the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of an eTest Generator as an eLearning tool.
Using Pearson Product-‐Moment CorrelaGon Coefficient, with (p-‐value = 0.0001) < (α = 0.05), the data provide enough evidence that there is a significant posiGve relaGonship between the two variables – perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use.
In general, respondents perceived eTest Generator as an acceptable eLearning tool because it is useful and somewhat easy to use for SUCN.
² The TAM of Davis has significantly helped the researcher ascertained the percepPon level among the faculty and administraPon of Silliman University’s College of Nursing for the development of an eTest Generator as eLearning tool for the department.
² Results of the study provided useful insights that Silliman University’s College of Nursing will accept and use should eTest Generator be developed and deployed as an eLearning tool.
² Highly recommended to the management of Silliman University that eTest Generator be developed and deployed to the College of Nursing for the use of its faculty and administraPon as an eLearning tool.
² The use of eTest Generator as an eLearning tool fosters the realizaPon of Silliman University’s strategic plan.
One can tell how important something is today by measuring its poten>al future impact on
every organiza>on.
