- Abstract
- This paper reports on the introduction of the tablet as an educational tool in a secondary school in Flanders, Belgium (N = 694). Drawing upon the Theory of Planned Behavior, it questions the relative extent to which attitude and subjective norm stably explain pupils’ prospective forced uptake of the device, as well as its actual use three months later. The results indicate that attitude, next to perceived behavioral control (both direct and indirect through attitude) is a relatively strong factor in explaining intention and use. In turn, social norm plays a secondary, indirect role through attitude. Interestingly, it shows this perception is brought about by parents and peers, not by teachers and the school board. Still, the role of attitude is much more prominent. The pupils generally consider the tablet as instrumental, although their positive attitude is strongly linked to the expectation of having a more enjoyable learning experience. Our results indicate that after three months, the prior expectations relatively hold up and remain substantially stable.
