Abstract
To prevent the further spread of COVID-19, many teachings were transferred to the Internet. This study unearths the motivations to participate in YouTube as a supplementary learning resource among college students to fight COVID-19. Using an integration and development of TAM and TTF model with 302 registered YouTube students completed an online survey that helped understanding user behavior. Employing a structural equation model on the sample indicated that behavioral intention was significantly influenced by perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, user satisfaction, and YouTube self-efficacy. However, task technology fit and content richness were not significantly predictive of behavioral intention. Moreover, perceived ease of use and YouTube self-efficacy also was not significantly predictive perceived usefulness. The implications of integrating and development of TAM and TTF with content richness and YouTube self-efficacy model are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Education and Urban Society (EUS) is a multidisciplinary journal that examines the role of education as a social institution in an increasingly urban and multicultural society. To this end, EUS publishes articles exploring the functions of educational institutions, policies, and processes in light of national concerns for improving the environment of urban schools that seek to provide equal educational opportunities for all students. EUS welcomes articles based on practice and research with an explicit urban context or component that examine the role of education from a variety of perspectives including, but not limited to, those based on empirical analyses, action research, and ethnographic perspectives as well as those that view education from philosophical, historical, policy, and/or legal points of view.lyses.
