Abstract

MOTIVATIC WEB is a software platform in which teachers can co-design activities for their students using three different gamified mechanics. This article presents the results of the technology acceptance evaluation by users. The evaluation considered aspects related to perceived usefulness (PU) and ease of use, behavioural intention to use, and external variables related to user experience, functionality, and web platform visual aesthetics (VA), aspects adapted from the TAM model. A qualitative analysis instrument was applied to 21 higher education professors from five different countries, experts in the areas of economic and administrative sciences, industrial engineering, basic sciences and medical sciences. The results indicate that the PU and ease of use of the software are related to the intention to use it. It shows that the software is efficient as an educational support resource, allowing the design of certain mechanics for students as well as communication and collaboration among teachers.

大学教育工作者对软件MOTIVATIC WEB的接受度评估

MOTIVATIC WEB是一个软件平台，教师可以使用三种不同的游戏化机制为学生共同设计活动。本文介绍了用户的技术验收评价结果。评估考虑了与感知有用性(PU)和易用性、使用行为意图以及与用户体验、功能和web平台视觉美学(VA)相关的外部变量相关的方面，这些方面改编自TAM模型。对来自五个不同国家的21名高等教育教授、经济和行政科学、工业工程、基础科学和医学领域的专家采用了定性分析工具。结果表明，软件的PU和易用性与使用意图有关。这表明该软件作为一种教育支持资源是有效的，可以为学生设计一定的机制，也可以在教师之间进行交流和协作。

期刊介绍： IJLT is an international, refereed, scholarly journal providing an interdisciplinary forum for the presentation and discussion of important ideas, concepts, and exemplars that can deeply influence the role of learning technologies in learning and instruction. This unique and dynamic journal focuses on the epistemological thrust of learning vis-à-vis instruction and the technologies and tools that support the process. IJLT publishes papers related to theoretical foundations, design and implementation, and effectiveness and impact issues related to learning technologies. Topics covered include: -Communities of learners (practice), computer-mediated communication -[Social] constructivism, computer-supported collaborative learning -Cognitive tools, intelligent agents, semantic web -Distributed/intelligent learning/tutoring, multimedia/interactive learning environments -Virtual reality environments, human-computer interface issues -Learning objects for personalised learning, building learning communities -Technology-facilitated learning in complex domains -Learning technology systems'' evaluation, technological standardisation -Simulation-supported learning/instruction -Learning technology in education and commerce -Disciplinary-related inquiry, e.g., learning technologies for science inquiry -MOOCs, social media and cloud computing in e-learning -Data analytics and big data in education -E-learning evaluation and content; e-portfolios -Smart education; internet of things/technology adoption and diffusion for learning
