The theoretical framework for a number of studies on technology adoption has been either Diffusion Theory (Rogers, 1997), the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM, based on Theory of Reasoned Action) (Davis, 1986), or Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, 1986). However, to understand the intricacies of such adoption by individuals within an organization, a more integrated approach should be applied. Aspects of the three theories cited here provide the basis for a model that demonstrates the adoption of a web-based application by teachers.
