Abstract :
Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of student's beliefs and attitudes toward the use of educational technologies in the relationship between student's perceptions of the effectiveness of integrating educational technology in the teaching process by professors with the acceptance and application of educational technologies for learning by students. research methodology: the research method was a correlation. The statistical population was all students of Islamic Azad and Payame Noor universities in Shahr-e Babak city which a sample of 201 students was selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method and the required data were used using TAM questionnaire and The perception scale of the effectiveness of ICT integration in teaching was collected, and the data were analyzed by path analysis. Findings: The findings showed that the serial path of perceived ease use and perceived usefulness, attitude toward the use and behavioral intention use of educational technology for learning have a positive mediating role in the relationship between students' perception of the effectiveness of educational technology integration in the teaching process and the use of educational technology for learning, and Also, the serial path of perceived usefulness use of educational technology for learning and behavioral intention use of educational technology for learning has the greatest role in the relationship between students' perception of the effectiveness of integrating educational technology in the teaching process and actual usage of educational technology for learning. Conclusion According to the results of the perceived usefulness use of technology for learning relative to perceived ease use of technology for learning, attitude toward the use of technology for learning and behavioral intention use of technology for learning can better explanate the effect of students' perception of the effectiveness of educational technology integration in teaching on the use of educational technology for learning.
