Exploration of teachers' perceptions in tourism programs: a quantitative study with a temporal focus

This quantitative study, of a non-experimental design and descriptive scope, investigated the perceptions of tourism educators regarding the use of educational technologies in their teaching practice. Digital questionnaires were employed to analyze four key variables: perceived usability, perceived usefulness, technostress, and computer self-efficacy. The results revealed a mean score of 3.17 for perceived usability and 3.50 for perceived usefulness, indicating that educators find technology easy to use and believe it enhances their performance. Although technostress was low (mean score of 1.30), computer self-efficacy had a mean of 3.04. It is concluded that while educators are open to using technology, ongoing training is recommended to strengthen their self-efficacy and address potential barriers to effectively utilizing educational tools.
