Technology had created significant changes in education specifically in mathematics and statistics. Students often view statistics as a difficult course, which is why they utilize different technological tools as learning aides. One of the promising statistical tools available nowadays is the Jeffrey's Amazing Statistics Program (JASP). Since JASP is a relatively new statistical tool, minimal studies have explored on the students' acceptance of it. Thus, this study inquired on the students' perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and attitude towards JASP as the basis of their technology acceptance. Descriptive correlational design was utilized in this study. A survey was administered to 134 students of a private higher educational institution in Laguna, Region IV-A. The data was analyzed using Weighted Mean and Spearman rho. Results revealed that the students find the JASP software as an easy to use tool and they believed that it will increase their productivity in class. They also expressed positive attitude towards the software with a desire to get better at using it. There is a significant relationship between perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness towards JASP, which means that if the students find JASP as a trouble-free learning tool, they would consider it as useful. Further, both perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness have significant relationship towards the students' attitude. This concludes that the students are more likely to accept JASP because it is easy to use and useful with learning statistics, which influence their positive attitude that may translate to their utilization and technology acceptance.
