Abstract

The present study intends to investigate the determinants influencing students’ behavioral intention and use of Google Classroom as an instrument for enhancing the learning experience in the domain of physical education. This investigation employed the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as a conceptual framework. The results revealed that perceived ease of use positively predicts perceived usefulness of the learning management system (LMS). Moreover, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness positively influences behavioral intention and actual use. Lastly, behavioral intention to use leverages actual use of the educational platform. The results indicate that Google Classroom is a viable and efficient technology for facilitating online learning.
