description University students' diverse degrees of acceptance and behavioral intents towards the use of technology in their academic endeavors present a major problem despite the expanding availability and potential advantages of educational technology. Students at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia are surveyed to determine their attitudes about and intentions regarding the use of technology in their educational pursuits. A total of 150 students answered a questionnaire (Al-Hattami, 2023), and reliability analysis Cronbach's Alpha value is between 0.758 and 0.934. A z-score within ±1.96 suggests that the data does not significantly deviate from normal distribution. The study reveals a high level of acceptance for technology in student learning. Gender differences in perception of technology acceptability in the learning environment are not significant (p>0.05). A strong and statistically significant positive correlation (r=.736; p<0.05) is seen between the perception of technology acceptance in learning with the intention of student behavior. Students who have a high perception of technology acceptance are more likely to use technology for learning and have a positive attitude toward its use. The study's findings are based on a specific university's students and might not be applicable universally. This objective may be accomplished by the provision of up-to-date technology and software, the provision of training and support for technology use, and the integration of technology into the curriculum in manners that enhance educational results. Future studies need to involve larger samples.
