The current study aims to investigate of the effect of the use of smart board on the results of the students who are in the second class of intermediate stage in the teaching of science subject. The study summarises the problem of the necessity to understand the impact of using the smart board on the results of the students who are in the second class of intermediate stage and their predilection in comparison to the using of the traditional way. To achieve the objective of this study, the researcher has designed an experiment of two equivalent groups, including experimental group and control group. Each group includes (30) students, the science subject has been taught to the experimental group by using the smart board while the control group has been taught by using the traditional way. The two groups have been subjected to the pre-test and post-test for the subjects which have been taught. The results of analysis for pre-test have indicated that there are lacks of statistical differences which refer to the equivalent between the groups. While the results of the analysis of post-test indicated that there are statistical differences in the academic accomplishment between the two groups for the experimental group. As well as the results of analysis showed the tendencies of scientific measurement have no statistical differences which can indicate the equality of the two groups. The results of analysis pre-test scientific tendencies have indicated that there are statistical differences for the scientific tendencies between the experimental group and control group for the experimental group. Therefore, the study recommends the necessity of employing the smart board in teaching science at all academic levels, and training the teachers of the ways of using it to ensure the promotion of development the skills of teaching science. It also recommends of increasing and expanding further studies to determine the impact of the smart board on the results of students and the scientific orientation for all stages of studies and in all different disciplines and knowledge as well as its impact on females, and the promotion of cooperation and continuous communication between educational institutions and companies that produce educational programs that serve all disciplines. Finally, it recommends that study of the feasibility of providing smart board in all schools in Saudi Arabia, and e-learning tools together with their applications.

This study mainly attempted to investigate the effect of motivational factors on technology acceptance among secondary school teachers based on TAM in Saudi Arabia including eight sub questions. The sample for this study consisted of secondary school teachers who are currently using technology smart classrooms in Saudi Arabia. By using a cross-sectional survey method and simple random sampling technique, data from 217 respondents in the 90 secondary schools were analysed to answer the questions of the study. A causal model was proposed and tested with Structural Equation Modeling. Results showed that the modified TAM model confirmed a good fit for the data collected. For theoretical implications, this is among the fewest studies that integrate motivational factors in the field of education to TAM variables. For practical implications, the results from this study provide practitioners of teaching career with the guidelines that encourage technology usage within their classes more effectively.
