Özet:

Cloud technology provides opportunities such as storage, communication, planning and the ability to use software online, independently of time and space. This study aims to explain the factors that influence the use of cloud technology by teachers candidates on the basis of Rogers's theory of the dissemination of innovations. The research was designed in a causal design in order to study the causal-resultation relationship between the variables included in theoretical model. The study group consists of 355 teachers candidates who study at a university’s educational faculty in the Anatolian Region. The Cloud Technologies Distribution Scale developed by researchers was used to study the factors affecting the use of cloud technology by teachers candidates. According to theoretical model, an acceptable, independent structural equality model has been achieved that reflects the relationship between the variables. In this context, the relative advantage to cloud technology, the ease, conformity and probability have a positive impact on attitude and the attitude has a positive impact on adaptation to innovation.
