Abstract


This study aims to investigate pre-service teachers’ perception and attitude toward the utilization of digital technology in teaching after the Covid-19 outbreak in Indonesia through Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) approach. This study used Explanatory Sequential Mixed Method. The subjects were 114 students from three education programs in STIT Maskumambang and STAI Daruttaqwa Gresik (Islamic Education Program, Early Childhood Islamic Education Program, and Elementary School Education Program).

Based on the results of study, it revealed that pre-service teachers intended to use digital technology in teaching process although Covid-19 outbreak was over. It was proven by the highest mean of the four components of TAM; Perceived Usefulness (Mean=3.60), Perceived Ease of Use (Mean=3.71), Attitude towards Digital Technology (Mean=3.56), and Intention to Use Digital Technology (Mean=3.29). Besides, several students stated that digital technology became a characteristic of the 21st century learning which could not be abandoned by the teachers and remained to be applied and integrated in teaching learning process.
