Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in the Use of Online Learning Applications During the Covid-19 Pandemic for Parents of Elementary School Students

School from Home is one of the Indonesian government’s efforts to minimize the spread of the Covid-19. All teaching and learning activities have been transferred to various online learning applications, including elementary school students. The parents of these elementary school students have to operate multiple online learning applications so that their children can participate in distance learning activities. Researchers have already used the original Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to determine the acceptance of online learning applications by parents of elementary school students as a means of distance learning. Researchers want to know the acceptance of online learning applications which are carried out in sudden conditions and without prior preparation but must be implemented. Researchers hope that the results of this study can capture the acceptance of parents of elementary students to School from Home during the Pandemic and can be used for evaluation and continuous improvement of the School from Home system. Referring to the literature with 22 questionnaire questions, the minimum number of respondents who must be obtained is 110 people, in this study 155 parents of elementary school students in Jabodetabek participated in filling out the questionnaire using an online questionnaire with a significance level of 5% and data processed using PLS-SEM 3.0 resulted in a strong relationship. There is no significant difference between Perceived Ease of Use and Attitude Toward Using. Then, a significant relationship was generated between Perceived Ease of Use on Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Usefulness on Attitude Toward Using, Perceived Usefulness on Behavioral Intention To Use, Attitude Toward Using on Behavioral Intention To Use. However, the results show a positive value Path Coefficient in Structural Model Result, so this research is consistent and according to TAM.
