Abstract

This study examines the acceptance of PINTAR, a MOOC-based Learning Management System (LMS) developed by the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs, among female Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) teachers in Padang, West Sumatra. Using an extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the study investigates the relationships among perceived ease of use (PEU), perceived usefulness (PU), attitude toward using (ATU), behavioral intention (BI), and actual use (AU), while examining the moderating roles of age and educational level. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted with 300 female MTs teachers. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0. The results supported all six hypothesized direct relationships. PEU significantly predicted PU (β = 0.663), PU significantly influenced ATU (β = 0.523), PEU significantly influenced ATU (β = 0.294), PU significantly predicted BI (β = 0.650), ATU strongly predicted BI (β = 0.719), and BI significantly predicted AU (β = 0.635, p < 0.001). However, neither educational level nor age significantly moderated the BI–AU relationship. These findings support the applicability of TAM in explaining PINTAR acceptance and highlight perceived usefulness, ease of use, and attitude as important determinants of teachers’ behavioral intention and actual LMS use.
