Abstract

This study determined the factors influencing teachers’ intentions to use the merdeka mengajar platform (PMM). This study uses an expanded technology acceptance model by adding facilitating condition variables. The research sample consisted of 162 teachers who used PMM. The results of the study showed that facilitating conditions have a significant effect on perceived ease of use but not on perceived usefulness. Furthermore, perceived ease of use significantly impacts perceived usefulness but not the attitude toward using, and perceived usefulness significantly affects the attitude toward using but not behavioural intentions to use PMM.
