Motivational factors in the insertion of Cloud Computing in teaching

Abstract

The education sector is one of the sectors where technologies have had the greatest impact and many are the technological tools implemented in their teaching or teaching-learning process, where teachers are the most responsible for their implementation. For this reason and due to the rise of Cloud Computing in teaching, a bibliographic study is carried out through which the motivational factors that can affect teachers when accepting and deciding to insert Cloud Computing tools in teaching are obtained, and a causal study of university professors who are experts in educational technologies and technological implementation that allows confirming the relationship of these factors in this decision and classifying them by their relevance. The list obtained is made up of the following motivational factors: quality management, available information, external conditioning, trust, perceived compatibility, perceived usefulness, attitude and intention, and the most determining factor in this entire system is external conditioning, which is the influence that teachers receive from the environment to insert these tools in their teaching or teaching-learning process.
