THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY: MOODLE AS A TEACHING TOOL IN A GRADUATE MATHEMATICS EDUCATION COURSE

Abstract

MOODLE is an open source e-learning system. MOODLE can be used as a tool for delivering content to students and more interestingly, it can be used to build rich collaborative learning communities. MOODLE allow users to be active learners, actively participating in the online learning process. This study aimed to investigate the views of students regarding the use of MOODLE. This study gives attention to the variables of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude and computer selfefficacy. Participants of this study consist of 21 students, who take courses at the master's levels in mathematics education. There are 6 male and 15 female students. Students Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) instruments was used to gather the data. Data were analyzed descriptively. The finding revealed that students have positive perception towards the use of MOODLE. MOODLE if its use appropriately and systematically benefits lecturer and students accordingly.
