Abstract

This study investigated factors influencing the intention of English pedagogic students, Dalat University to use Web 2.0 technologies in teaching. Data were assembled via a survey questionnaire, and analyzed with descriptive, regressive and reasoned statistics based on the framework of the Decomposed theory of planned behavior [8]. Results revealed that the attitude, subjective norm and behavior control perception are three major factors strongly impacting students’ intentions to use Web 2.0 technologies in their teaching. Although the majority of students intended to apply Web 2.0 technologies for potentially multilateral benefits, they are somehow worried about dealing with certain obstacles such as facilities and users in practice.
