Research analyzes e-Rapor system user acceptance among Junior High teachers in Rembang using TAM 3 & DeLone & McLean. Discover factors impacting perceived ease & usefulness.

Abstract

Education is a human right that is important for nation development. Entering the 21st century, education must adapt to digital technology. One important innovation is the e-Report system, a web-based student grade processing application introduced by the Ministry of Education and Culture in 2017. This research aims to analyze the level of user acceptance of the e-Report system in Rembang. Regency Middle School uses the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) 3 method and the DeLone & McLean method. This research used a quantitative approach by distributing questionnaires to teachers in four junior high schools in Rembang Regency involving 93 samples from a total of 1,201 teachers. The number of samples was calculated using the Slovin formula with a significance error level of 10%. The results of the analysis show that perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness have a significant influence on the acceptance of e-Report technology. Factors such as information quality, self-efficacy, and perceived enjoyment also influence the perceived ease and usefulness of using e-Reports. However, system quality and service quality do not show a significant influence on the acceptance of this technology. This research provides important insights into the factors that influence the acceptance and success of implementing e-Report systems in junior high schools. It is hoped that the research results can become a reference for policy makers in improving administrative efficiency and supporting the learning process through modern technology

Review

This study provides a timely and relevant analysis of user acceptance of the e-Report system, a critical digital innovation introduced by the Ministry of Education and Culture in Indonesian junior high schools. Leveraging well-established theoretical frameworks—the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) 3 and the DeLone & McLean Information System Success Model—the research quantitatively investigates factors influencing adoption among teachers in Rembang District. The paper's objective to understand the nuances of e-Report acceptance through a structured approach is commendable, given the importance of digital transformation in modern education and the need for successful implementation of such systems. The findings offer valuable insights into the drivers of e-Report system acceptance. The research confirms that perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness are significant predictors of technology acceptance, aligning with core tenets of the TAM model. Furthermore, it highlights that factors such as information quality, self-efficacy, and perceived enjoyment positively influence these perceptions of ease and usefulness, suggesting that user experience and the clarity of information are crucial. Interestingly, the study reveals that system quality and service quality did not show a significant influence on acceptance. This specific finding is particularly intriguing and warrants deeper consideration, as it potentially challenges conventional assumptions about the direct impact of these factors on user adoption in this context. While the study offers a robust quantitative analysis, a few aspects could be further elaborated or explored in future work. The sample size of 93 teachers from four schools, though calculated using the Slovin formula, represents a small proportion of the total teacher population, and a discussion on the implications for generalizability across the entire district could strengthen the paper. The non-significant influence of system and service quality on acceptance is a key result that, if thoroughly discussed in the full paper, could provide profound implications for policymakers regarding resource allocation and system improvement priorities. Further qualitative research might be beneficial to unpack the underlying reasons for this observation. Overall, this research is a valuable contribution, providing a solid foundation for understanding e-Report system acceptance and offering critical insights for policymakers aiming to enhance administrative efficiency and support learning through digital tools.
