Google Classroom, a widely utilized Learning Management System for online instruction, served as the focal point of this research. This study is relevant to Malaysia's continuously evolving online education landscape within higher education. Utilizing a quantitative cross-sectional survey design approach, the research was grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), which provided a structured framework for evaluating the factors influencing the acceptance of Google Classroom technology. The analysis employed descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression techniques to assess the relationships among variables. The findings revealed high acceptance levels for most factors except for Readiness for Google Classroom Technology. Notably, the study found a strong positive relationship between Perceived Ease of Use and Readiness to Accept Technology. In contrast, the relationships between Perceived Usefulness and Social Influence were found to be of moderate strength. Additionally, the model accounted for 58% of the variance in Readiness to Accept Technology, indicating a substantial effect size. These findings underscore the necessity for implementing comprehensive teacher training programs designed to aid educators in adapting to the changing educational environment and keeping up with recent developments in pedagogical frameworks.
