摘要:Research evidence shows that technology is not being utilized effectively within classrooms and there are many instructors who feel unprepared to implement ICT. This realization is alarming since the use of technology in classrooms has had a muted impact on educational processes and outcomes. This could be interpreted to mean that technology is not positively changing test scores, which have become a major indicator in the accountability movement over the past 30 years. Technology is however positively increasing student engagement which arguably is one of the significant tasks in the education of learners. Instructors are among the key players in any effective integration of technology in the instructional process. The ICT offer instructors an opportunity to provide learners with innovative new virtual environments that can hopefully stimulate and enhance the learning process. Professionally, instructors are expected to harness the affordances of technology to support effective teaching and related activities. As the role of technology in teaching and learning becomes more prominent, so will the demands on instructors to engage technology in carrying out their duties. Integrating technology as combining technology with teaching and learning strategies is done in order to meet the curriculum standards and learning outcomes of each lesson. One of the issues that should be considered is the effect of integration of technology in teaching process by instructors on the acceptance and application of technology in student learning, which can facilitate students' learning. This study aimed to investigate the role of students' perception of ICT integration in teaching by instructors on students' acceptance and use of ICT for learning as well as the mediating role of students' beliefs, attitudes and intention in the relationship between students' perception of ICT integration in the teaching process by instructors and actual usage of ICT for learning. Methods: This research is a correlational research method and a sample of 201 students of Islamic Azad and Payam Noor universities was selected by a multistage cluster sampling method. The required data were collected by the TAM questionnaire and scale of students' perception of ICT integration in the teaching process. The data were analyzed by path analysis method Findings: The results showed that the direct effect of students' perception of ICT integration in the teaching process by instructors on attitude, perceived ease, and usefulness of ICT for learning is positive and significant and on actual usage of ICT for learning is negative and significant; but this effect on the behavioral intention of ICT use for learning is not significant. The results also showed that the behavioral intention of ICT use for learning, attitude toward ICT use for learning, perceived usefulness and ease of ICT use for learning had a positive and significant mediating role in the relationship between students' perception of ICT integration in the teaching process by the instructors and actual usage of ICT for learning by the student. Conclusion: According to the results, the perceived ease and usefulness of using ICT for learning by the student can facilitate the effect of students' perception of the integration and use of ICT in the teaching process by the instructors on the actual usage of ICT for learning by students.
