In education, there have been many novel approaches and technologies were introduced. However, very minimal efforts were put to apply in our education. MobileSchool is a mobile learning (m-learning) management system, developed for administrative, teaching and learning processes at secondary schools in Malaysia. The paper presents the acceptance of MobileSchool between urban and rural secondary schools in Malaysia. Research framework was designed based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The constructs of the framework include computer anxiety, self-efficacy, facilitating condition, technological complexity, perceived behavioral control, perceive ease of use, perceive usefulness, attitude and behavioral intention. Questionnaire was applied as research instrument which involved 373 students from four secondary schools (two schools in urban category and another two in rural category) in Perak. Inferential analyses using hypothesis and t-test, and descriptive analyses using mean and percentage were used to analyze the data. Results showed that there were no big difference (<20) of all acceptance constructs between urban and rural secondary schools except computer anxiety. © 2017 Author(s). date: 2017 publisher: American Institute of Physics Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85031315003&doi=10.1063%2f1.5005383&partnerID=40&md5=373f6da35768488fdf1b5e296137cb91 id_number: 10.1063/1.5005383 full_text_status: none publication: AIP Conference Proceedings volume: 1891 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9780735415737 issn: 0094243X citation: Hashim, A.S. and Ahmad, W.F.W. and Sarlan, A.
