Technology acceptance studies are a common medium of determining approval and predicting future use of technologies in the field of Information Systems. Numerous technology acceptance studies have been done in the area of education however there still remain hindrances in the use of computer in education. The aim of this study is to analyse published research materials in the area of technology acceptance in education and identify the current research patterns. Upon identifying these patterns, a future research path is presented. For this purpose, initially the popular technology acceptance theories are studied so as to build a firm base for examining the technology acceptance works in education domain. The technology acceptance research works were thoroughly scrutinized to identify important aspects like acceptance theory used, constructs used, causal relationships and user types. Based on all these aspects a future research pathway is suggested.
