Analysis of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) System Acceptance in Disaster Management Training

Abstract

Distance learning is a solution to training problems that are constrained by geographical location and the limited number of conventional training providers. The BNPB Disaster Management Education and Training Center together with IndonesiaX developed distance disaster management training with the Massive Open Online Courses System (MOOCs). In its implementation, there are obstacles at least for BNPB and BPBD employees when receiving and participating in this training, so research is needed to analyze and identify the factors that affect the acceptance of this training system. The model used in this study is the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) which consists of four factors that have a significant effect on User Acceptance and Usage Behavior, namely Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence dan Facilitating Condition. This research uses a qualitative approach method, by analyzing the data using the Miles and Huberman model. Research respondents are BNPB and provincial BPBD employees in Indonesia, both those who have or have not attended disaster management training with the MOOCs System. The results of this study indicate that most of the four factors in UTAUT affect their acceptance of disaster management training with the MOOCs System and will intend to continue using the MOOCs system to increasing their capacity.
