Abstract

PurposeThe current study employs a modified framework of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) to predict students' intention to adopt online learning in India. The moderating role of openness to change in influencing the proposed relationships is also assessed.Design/methodology/approachA structured questionnaire was emailed to 650 students enrolled in various courses in public and private universities in India. In total 424 responses were considered for analysis using structural equation modeling (SEM). Moderation analysis was carried out with multi-group SEM and chi-square difference tests.FindingsThe results reveal that there is a significant impact of performance expectancy (PE), effort expectancy (EE), social influence (SI), facilitating conditions (FS) and perceived security (PS) on students' intention to adopt online learning. Further, openness to change moderates the impact of PE, FS and PS on intention of students to opt for online learning.Originality/valueThis study is one of the initial efforts to examine the factors affecting students' intention to adopt online learning at the onset of third wave of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in India. Besides the factors of the UTAUT model, this study highlights the importance of PS and openness to change in influencing students' intention to opt for online learning.
预测学生在线学习意向的改进UTAUT框架:变化开放性的调节作用
本研究采用改进的技术接受与使用统一理论(UTAUT)框架来预测印度学生采用在线学习的意向。对变化的开放性在影响拟议关系中的调节作用也进行了评估。设计/方法/方法通过电子邮件向650名就读于印度公立和私立大学各种课程的学生发送了一份结构化问卷。使用结构方程模型(SEM)对总共424个响应进行分析。采用多组扫描电镜和卡方差异检验进行适度分析。结果发现,成绩期望(PE)、努力期望(EE)、社会影响(SI)、促进条件(FS)和安全感感知(PS)对学生在线学习意愿有显著影响。此外,对变化的开放程度调节了体育、体育服务和体育服务对学生选择在线学习意愿的影响。独创性/价值本研究是在印度第三波冠状病毒病2019 (COVID-19)大流行开始时,研究影响学生采用在线学习意愿的因素的初步努力之一。除了UTAUT模型的因素外,本研究还强调了PS和对变化的开放性在影响学生选择在线学习意愿方面的重要性。
