This study made use of a qualitative action research design. The action undertaken was implemented among PSPEs of a teacher education institution in Pampanga, Philippines. A purposive sample of those who completed the sessions were asked to voluntarily participate in a structured interview. Aided by thematic analysis, findings revealed that the strategy was viewed positively by the PSPEs in terms of their academic and personal experiences. Although challenges such as conflicts in schedule and inevitable technical glitches were notable, the students recommended that more participants should be encouraged to participate and called for the continuity of the enjoyable sessions. The intervention may be a useful strategy that can be adapted by other teacher education institutions to ensure functional use of leisure time for learning.","PeriodicalId":40094,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Adult Education and Technology-IJAET","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48233001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two qualitative surveys were conducted to collect the data. One was prepared for the students (n = 20) regularly attending the online lessons and the other was developed for the students (n = 20) who did not attend the lessons. The findings showed that low levels of student motivation, absence of compulsory attendance, and technical problems were reasons for the low level of student attendance to the synchronous online lessons.","PeriodicalId":40094,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Adult Education and Technology-IJAET","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45945796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Undergraduate students majoring in accounting and finance were surveyed to identify what those preferences are. Consistent with literature, there is a preference for face-to-face learning in terms of perceived learning and satisfaction. However, convenience and scheduling issues act as strong countervailing factors propelling students toward online courses, although the impressions of online education are overwhelmingly good. Additionally, three quarters of the students found taking upper division courses online to be suitable to them. Exploratory factor analysis was then used to identify the key factors regarding online education quality and satisfaction, and six separate components were found to be both significant and reliable. The study expands literature by specifically focusing on accounting and finance education in a mature online education environment.","PeriodicalId":40094,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Adult Education and Technology-IJAET","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48032423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, while success factors overlap with adoption factors, online course adoption is also affected by several important non-success factors such as flexibility. Adoption patterns of URM students have not been coherently studied using a well-tested technology adoption model. This study applies an expanded unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model to address these gaps. Among a sample of 1231 students, URM students perceived online classes to require more effort to achieve lower grades relative to non-underrepresented students. Second, a narrower set of factors predicts URM students' intention to take online courses in the future. Finally, contextually, URM students are 46% more likely to be employed, first-generation students, and have substantial family responsibilities than non-URM students.","PeriodicalId":40094,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Adult Education and Technology-IJAET","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43267161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Technology adoption literature indicates that individuals are motivated to adopt technology as a result of various factors including social influence, performance expectations, effort expectations, and the conditions that facilitate their use. These factors are mediated by the degree of voluntariness of technology adoption and risks and rewards associated with adopting online learning. Given the pandemic experience, faculty members were forced to adopt online teaching, removing the voluntary nature of technology adoption. This study surveys a national sample of faculty to understand faculty perceptions of online teaching and reports on perceived changes in perceptions resulting from the pandemic and future intentions to teach online. In contrast to prior literature, findings indicate that faculty tend to have positive perceptions of knowledge outcomes associated with online teaching, and although there are areas for improvement, most faculty members intend to teach online again post-pandemic.","PeriodicalId":40094,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Adult Education and Technology-IJAET","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43308077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
