Abstract: This study hopes to provide an in-depth understanding on the computers adoption and acceptance issues among educators in Malaysian schools. The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model developed was utilised to identify the strength of predictors for educators' behavioural intention to adopt, accept and utilise computers in the process of learning and teaching. Questionnaires were distributed to 40 secondary school educators in Perak Darul Ridzuan with 400 returned and a 100% return rate. Statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 17 was utilised for data analysis. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was also used to appraise the measurement and structural model. Performance expectancy (PE) (0.323, p < 0.05), Facilitating Conditions (FC) (0.520) and the new construct perceived needs (PN) (0.530) predicted significantly behavioural intention (BI) to use computers, while effort expectancy (EE) and social influence (SI) were statistically not significant. Studies in the future should include educators from other schools in other states in Malaysia for more and better reliable outcomes as well as conclusions.
