Ghanaian Language Students' Acceptance of E-Learning amid the COVID-19 Pandemic
This study examined Ghanaian language students' acceptance of e-learning using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). A cross-sectional survey design was adopted for this research. Data for the research were gathered with an adapted UTAUT questionnaire. A total of 204 Ghanaian language students filled out the questionnaire. The gathered data were analyzed by computing the Means and Standard Deviation of the Likert Scale items. Also, a Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was run to test the hypotheses set to guide the study. The results of the study indicate a low acceptance of e-learning among Ghanaian language students. Also, the MANOVA results indicate no significant difference between students' e-learning acceptance based on gender. The difference in students' acceptance of e-learning was, however, found in their academic year in school; thus, as final-year students show a higher behavioural intention to study through e-learning, first, second and third years resisted e-learning.
