Abstract

This work presents a framework that elucidates the technological, social and political factors associated with the adoption of a technological innovation. Our attempt to study in detail the various determinants of sensemaking of technology has identified three important factors (1) user competency (2) expectancies (3) attitude towards learning, that affect the technological frames of the users. The influence of these factors in the sensemaking process has been tested using an empirical study of 505 students from 10 secondary schools of Singapore in adopting an e-learning technology.
