Computer Literacy Self Efficacy Internet Web Sites Electronic Libraries Electronic Learning College Faculty Online Searching Use Studies Purpose: The University of the East Web Portal is an academic, web-based system that provides educational electronic materials and e-learning services. To fully optimize its usage, it is imperative to determine the factors that relate to its usage. Thus, this study, to determine the computer self-efficacy of the faculty members of the University of the East and its relationship with their web portal usage, was conceived. Method: Using a validated questionnaire, the profile of the respondents, their computer self-efficacy, and web portal usage were gathered. Results: Data showed that the respondents were relatively young (M= 40 years old), majority had master's degree (f = 85, 72%), most had been using the web portal for four semesters (f = 60, 51%), and the large part were intermediate web portal users (f = 69, 59%). They were highly skilled in using the computer (M= 4.29) and skilled in using the Internet (M= 4.28). E-learning services (M= 3.29) and online library resources (M= 3.12) were only used occasionally. Pearson correlation revealed that age was positively correlated with online library resources (r= 0.267, p< 0.05) and a negative relationship existed between perceived skill level in using the portal and online library resources usage (r= -0.206, p< 0.05). A 2x2 x[superscript 2] revealed that the highest educational attainment had a significant relationship with online library resources (x[superscript 2]= 5.489, df = 1, p< 0.05). Basic computer (r= 0.196, p< 0.05) and Internet skills (r = 0.303, p< 0.05) were significantly and positively related with e-learning services usage but not with online library resources usage. Research Implication: Other individual factors such as attitudes towards the web portal and anxiety towards using the web portal can be investigated. |
