Analyzing the Students’ Perception of UML Diagrams: Results of the TAM (Technology Acceptance Model)

Models taught in Software
Engineering disciplines can facilitate the communication and understanding of
systems by practitioners. These models can be expressed by Unified Modeling
Language (UML). In the literature, existing reports how professionals perceive
the adoption of UML in practice. However, little is known about the students’
perception regarding these models. In this technical report, we present the students’
answers to the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) questionnaires for five UML
diagrams.
