Abstract

This paper gathers evidence of the relation between the preferences shown by scholars to different notions of quality in higher education and their perceptions of the usefulness of Information Technologies (IT) in their work. Evidence was gathered by the application of logit regressions to the answers of 911 scholars working in the University of Guadalajara (México). A double contribution comes out from the article: an enrichment of the Technology Acceptance Model with another antecedent of the usefulness of IT; and support for the hypothesis of the political nature of the concepts of quality in higher education
