Abstract:

This study reports on the survey of 805 year nine students (aged 14 to 15 years old) acceptance of tablet PC in learning science. The objective of this survey study is to investigate student’s acceptance of Tablet PC in learning Science by applying the model proposed by El-Gayar, Moran & Hawkes (2011) which used Theory of Acceptance Model (TAM), Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) TRA, Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) as a theoretical foundation. The findings of this research could help foresee students’ acceptance regarding to the use of Tablet in learning Science. The findings of this study also will inform educators on how to assist students to use the Tablet PC in learning Science and on how to improve students’ willingness to adopt the use of Tablet in learning Science. Lastly, the results of this study may also be helpful to educators to adjust their strategies and tactics for providing student the potential benefits of Tablet in learning Science.
