Abstract

The development of today's challenging education in line with technological development resulted in significant changes in areas including education. The current learning is more so as to use technology such as LMS through the Google Classroom app with a lot of help in the improvement and success of the students.  The preparation of teachers in this change is also necessary to identify the level of their ability, especially in terms of acceptance and use of technology and facilitate learning process (PdPc). The Ministry of Education has launched the PAK21 programme and TS25 as a preparation to elevate the national education system. To realise this implementation, teachers play an important role in successfull of the plan. A study was conducted on the 100 teachers elected from several schools and districts to identify their use. This study is made by using quantitative method by means of information collection based on survey questions. The questionnaire was built based on a Model guide for tekonology (TAM) To view the relationship between the EU, its use facility (PEOU), Behavior (BI) and actual use (AU). Data analysis is processed using SmartPLS software to obtain results of findings. Results of the study found that there was a relationship between PEOU and BI and also between BI and AU. This shows the positive acceptance but the level of use remains low among rural primary school teachers. Therefore to ensure the use of Google Classroom certain parties should take serious attention to this matter.
