Abstract

This study explored the role of the Multiple Representations Framework (MR) within the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in understanding pre-service teachers' acceptance of science educational videos in teaching and learning redox reactions. Conducted within the context of an analytical chemistry course, the study employed partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze the relationships between perceived ease of use (PEU), perceived usefulness (PU), and intention to use (IU), integrating motivation as a key variable. Descriptive statistics revealed positive perspectives on macroscopic, microscopic, and symbolic representations, as well as favorable views on TAM constructs. The measurement model confirmed the reliability and validity of the instruments, with strong outer loadings, internal consistency, and discriminant validity. MR significantly impacted PU and mediated the relationships between PEU, PU, and IU, highlighting its central role in enhancing perceived usefulness. However, MR did not moderate the relationship between PEU and PU, and PEU alone did not directly influence IU. These findings underscore the significance of content quality and representation in influencing technology adoption. The study concludes that integrating MR into educational tools improves conceptual understanding and supports technology adoption. It recommends incorporating MR-based resources into STEM curricula and providing professional development for educators to optimize their design and application.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
