Goto, Jameson (PhD)
Jameson Goto was born in Zimbabwe. He received a BSc general degree in Physics and Geology from the University of Zimbabwe in 1991. In 2002, he received his PGDE from the Zimbabwe Open University. In 2011, he enrolled for a BEd Honours (ICT) degree at the University of Johannesburg. He completed the degree in 2012 and enrolled for a Master’s degree in ICT in 2013, which he completed in 2015. He then enrolled for a PhD degree at the University of Johannesburg in 2016. He is currently employed as an Instructional designer at the Centre of Academic Technology at the University of Johannesburg. The candidate investigated the factors that influence pre-service teachers to accept and use formative feedback during authentic tasks in an undergraduate online module. He modified the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model (UTAUT2) in an organisational and consumer technology context, and extended it to the online formative feedback context in education. Using extensive statistical, parametric analyses, he constructed a four-factor model that helps to explain the behavioural intention to use and accept online formative feedback. In addition, the study also confirmed the factor structure of the modified UTAUT2 questionnaire. The findings of this study inform the design and implementation of authentic tasks in online environments, consequently improving student achievement while enhancing the use and acceptance of online formative assessment feedback .
