Investigating VIAT-Map from the view point of Ease of Use, Perceived of Usefulness, and Acceptance of IT by using Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)

The use of technology in the classroom is becoming a common situation. With the development of science in the field of learning technology, support for the learning process is getting better and wider. However, in Indonesia, the use of learning technology is only limited to E-learning, videos and LMS which lack interaction in the learning process and are closer to the assessment process only. Viat-map is a learning application that focuses on increasing students’ understanding of literacy materials. Using Toulmin’s Argumentation pattern and combined with constructivism theory, Viat-map applications produce positive results during the experimental process. In addition, the application also supports the process of feedback. Lecturers will be given an overlapping analysis that shows the location of students’ thinking errors. By doing all stages of learning using Viat-map, it is expected to be able to provide a new positive perspective on class activities. This study involved twenty-seven participants consisting of twenty-six students and one teacher. The learning process uses the viat-map application for two weeks. After that, they were given the Questionaire of Technology Acceptance Model and got positive results on the acceptance of the use of learning technology in the classroom.
