Abstract

Pressure during the learning process is a common thing experienced by students. At some points, this pressure will be beneficial in increasing fighting power and motivation, but on the other hand, high-pressure conditions will affect students' mental health. This condition was  also experienced when students entered the learning phase during the Covid-19 pandemic. Although several studies have revealed the effectiveness of distance learning during the pandemic, this study aims to reveal causal factors of learning pressure conditions during the pandemic such that it can trigger the emergence of academic stress. This study involved 750 students spread throughout Indonesia. Data gathering was through the use of a questionnaire with indicators developed from existing measuring tools. Data analysis using Structural Equation Model-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) with Model Measurement Analysis (MMA)  indicate loading, Cronbach Alpha, composite reliability, Average Variance Extracted (AVE) in fit conditions, and Structural Model testing also demonstrated  valid condition and fit. The analysis shows a positive relationship between the predictors of the structural model consisting of self-expectation, despondency, grade worriness, and workload, which impact student learning pressures during the pandemic. There is an effect of workload mediation on the relationship between self-expectation and learning pressure. In reducing and controlling student learning pressures during a pandemic, it is necessary to consider these factors in learning activities.

Abstract

This study examines students’ acceptance of the Academic Information System Platform (SIAKAD) at the State Islamic Institute (IAIN) Kerinci by extending the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with the construct of scientific sanad. Using a quantitative cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from 306 active students selected through purposive sampling and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4. The findings indicate that students’ acceptance of SIAKAD is generally moderate to high. Attitude Toward Using was the strongest predictor of Behavioral Intention to Use (β = 0.618; p < 0.001), while Sanad Urgency significantly influenced Perceived Ease of Use (β = 0.726; p < 0.001), Perceived Usefulness (β = 1.358; p < 0.001), and Behavioral Intention to Use (β = 0.190; p = 0.008). Conversely, Self-Efficacy showed a significant negative effect on Perceived Usefulness (β = −0.436; p < 0.001). These results suggest that integrating scientific sanad into academic platforms is not merely a technical innovation but also an epistemological need in Islamic higher education. This study contributes to TAM literature by incorporating Islamic scholarly authority into technology acceptance research and offers practical implications for developing a Digital Sanad feature in SIAKAD.
