GOOGLE CLASSROOM: BEYOND THE TRADITIONAL SETTING

Google Classroom has been extensively used as a learning management system to facilitate teaching and learning processes. Despite its extensive use globally, there was a lack of research on its acceptance as perceived by secondary school students in Indonesia, particularly during emergency online learning. This study addressed this gap by examining the acceptance of Google Classroom from the perspective of Indonesian secondary school students. The study involved 307 secondary students who participated by completing online questionnaires, and two students were interviewed to gain deeper insights into their experiences and perspectives regarding the use of Google Classroom in English classes. The quantitative findings revealed that secondary students generally held high acceptance of Google Classroom as a tool for online EFL learning (M=4.05). Among the four constructs measured, three—perceived ease of use (M=3.91), perceived usefulness (M=4.27), and behavioral intention (M=4.14)—indicated high levels of acceptance, whereas actual system use was rated as moderately acceptable (M=3.65). The interview data supported these quantitative results. The study concluded that Google Classroom is well-accepted as a platform for facilitating online EFL learning among secondary school students. The findings contributed valuable evidence regarding the positive acceptance of Google Classroom for EFL learning.

E-learning is believed by various parties to be effective and efficient learning media if implemented through good governance. Although some problems arise not only in terms of governance but also arise from the side of user behavior. This problem encourages experts to conduct researches that support the formation of models to measure user behavior towards the acceptance of technology, especially information technology. Models which recorded in various literature and references on results of information technology research are such as Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The most popular and widely used model in various studies is the TAM model that contains 3 factors which are perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, behavioural intention to use, and 1 final factor which is actual system use. E-learning in Unpad is known as the LIVE (Learning in Virtual Environment) of Universitas Padjadjaran with the website address http://live.unpad.ac.id. This study uses the TAM model involving 3 external factors namely e-learning self efficacy, complexity and lack of time. The results showed that the factors of e-learning self efficacy, complexity and lack of time for educators are not an obstacle in the use of e-learning. This is supported by the testing result. (1) The e-learning self-efficacy factor has a significant effect on the factor of the e-learning actual system use through behavioural intention to use factor, meaning that the factor of self-efficacy influence the intention of e-learning actual system use, (2) complexity factors influences the e-learning actual system use factor through behavioural intention to use factor, which means the complexity factor influences the behavioural intention to use factor of the teaching staff to use e-learning and the last (3) the lack of time factor influences the actual system use of technology through behavioural intention to use factors, meaning that lack of time affect the behavioural intention to use of the teaching staff to use e-learning
