Abstract

The main focus of the paper is to probe and to profile the trend of progression of the unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) studies, UTAUT 2 with the expanded models on educational field to gain the scientific body of knowledge. Eventually, help to bridge the research gap on the science teachers’ acceptance on Google Classroom amid Covid-19 global pandemic. Out of the 39 studies gleaned, 14 were on teachers’ acceptance of ICTs, 2 were studies on teachers’ acceptance of Google Classroom, and 23 studies were on students’ acceptance of using the ICT.  This paper tabulates the works of literature into several themes in chronological order where the UTAUT, UTAUT 2 and their extensions were applied. The country, researcher, research scope, selected group, methodology, models used, constructs, analysis of data methods and outcomes were reviewed. Up to date, studies on science teachers’ acceptance on Google Classroom amid Covid-19 global pandemic is yet to be conducted. Acquisition of sound scientific knowledge from this literature review is to justify the feasibility to study the science teachers’ acceptance of Google Classroom in teaching Science amid Covid-19 pandemic by using an extended UTAUT 2 model with a right combination of variables: Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, Facilitating Conditions, habit, Price Value, Hedonic Motivation and Perceived Compatibility as independent variables, behaviour intention and the user behaviour as dependent variables and moderator variables: age, gender, experiences and educational level. PLS-SEM is identified as the most common and current administered research tool for data analysis.
