Mobile Learning Acceptance In Higher Education: An Integrated Model And Empirical Study Based On The Perceptions Of Private Higher Vocational Colleges Students
Keywords:
mobile learning, Private Higher Vocational Institutions, TAM, UTAUTAbstract
With the rapid development of information technology, mobile learning (M-learning) has become an important part of higher vocational education and one of the most promising educational technologies developed in the educational environment. The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that influence the use of m-learning by college students in private higher vocational colleges and universities. A comprehensive model integrating TAM and UTAUT theories was constructed to predict mobile learning acceptability. The study collected data from a total of 270 college students of Guangzhou City Construction College through questionnaires. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 26 and Smart-PLS 3.3.9. The results of the study showed that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude, facilitating conditions, and social influence positively influenced students' intention to use m-learning.
