Acceptance of Digital Technologies in Vocational and Technical Education: Survey Evidence from PTUK

Acceptance of Digital Technologies in Vocational and Technical Education: Survey Evidence from PTUK

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the acceptance level of digital technologies in vocational and technical education at Palestine Technical University - Kadoorie, focusing on the factors influencing students' adoption and use of digital tools. A quantitative survey design was used, targeting students from various vocational and technical programs. A structured questionnaire measured key factors, including perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, digital literacy, attitudes toward technology, and behavioral intention to use digital tools. The results showed a general high level of acceptance of digital technology among students, with statistically significant differences in gender, place of residence, and academic level. No statistically significant differences were found in terms of university degree and university. A detailed analysis indicated that third-year students and students residing in camps demonstrated the highest levels of acceptance, reflecting the influence of exposure, experience, and dependence on digital tools. Based on these findings, the researcher recommended strengthening digital literacy programs, ensuring equitable access to technology, systematically integrating digital tools into curricula, and providing targeted support for specific student groups. The study contributes to an understanding of the multiple factors that influence technology adoption in vocational and technical education and provides practical insights for policymakers and educators to support effective and sustainable digital integration.
