6.  As catalyzed by the international trend, eLearning
in the Philippines is gaining momentum.
 Silliman University’s Strategic Plan for SY 2008 2016 spelled out eLearning curricular integration
and development through research.
 Results of the study may serve as Silliman
University’s management decision-making tool in
realizing their strategic plan.

7. Ascertain the level of acceptance for an eTest Generator
by answering the following research questions:
1. What is the level of perceived usefulness of an eTest
Generator as an eLearning tool?
2. What is the level of perceived ease of use of an eTest
Generator as an eLearning tool?
3. Is there a relationship between perceived usefulness
and perceived ease of use of an eTest Generator as an
eLearning tool?

8.  Attitude paradigm of Fishbein and Ajzen:
1. specifies how to measure the behavior-relevant
components of attitudes,
2. distinguishes between beliefs and attitudes, and
3. specifies how external stimuli are causally linked to
beliefs, attitudes, and behavior.
 The gap between success in information system (IS)
and its users can be bridged by determining the
users’ level of acceptance prior to the development
and implementation of the IS (Davis, 1993).

9. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) of Fred D. Davis

Prospective user’s overall attitude toward using a given system is
hypothesized to be a major determinant of whether or not he/she actually
uses it.
 Attitude toward using (ATU) is a function to 2 beliefs/cognitive responses:
1. Perceived usefulness (PU)
2. Perceived ease of use (PEU)

10.  Descriptive-correlative method
 Survey questionnaire
 Statistical treatment of data

11. The Subject:
SUCN Population Distribution of Faculty and Administration for SY 2012-2013
26 responded to the survey that resulted to a
56.52% response rate

12. Summary of Respondents’ Demography

13. Weighted Mean Distribution of Respondents’ Self Assessment

14. Range Computation:

15. The Instrument: (adapted from Davis, 1991)

16. The Instrument: (adapted from Davis, 1991)
Test for Significance of the Relationship between PU and PEU

17. Answering the Research Questions:
1. What is the level of perceived usefulness of an eTest Generator as an eLearning tool
among the respondents?
With a high weighted mean of 5.8, the respondents perceived eTest as a useful
eLearning tool for SUCN.
2. What is the level of perceived ease of use of an eTest Generator as an eLearning tool
among the respondents?
With a high weighted mean of 5.2, the respondents perceived eTest Generator
as somewhat easy to use as an eLearning tool for SUCN.
3. Is there a relationship between the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use
of an eTest Generator as an eLearning tool.
Using Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient, with (p-value = 0.0001)
< (α = 0.05), the data provide enough evidence that there is a significant
positive relationship between the two variables – perceived usefulness and
perceived ease of use.
In general, respondents perceived eTest Generator as an acceptable eLearning tool
because it is useful and somewhat easy to use for SUCN.

18. 
The TAM of Davis has significantly helped the
researcher ascertained the perception level among
the faculty and administration of Silliman
University’s College of Nursing for the development
of an eTest Generator as eLearning tool for the
department.

19. 
Results of the study provided useful insights that
Silliman University’s College of Nursing will accept
and use should eTest Generator be developed and
deployed as an eLearning tool.

20. 
Highly recommended to the management of
Silliman University that eTest Generator be
developed and deployed to the College of Nursing
for the use of its faculty and administration as an
eLearning tool.

The use of eTest Generator as an eLearning tool
fosters the realization of Silliman University’s
strategic plan.

21. One can tell how important something is today
by measuring its potential future impact on
every organization.
