Although Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) has demonstrated significant potential in education, there is a lack of research on pre-service teachers' behavioral intentions toward GAI. This study is based on the UTAUT2 model and, for the first time, introduces perceived risk as a key variable to systematically investigate the factors…

The current educational landscape is flooded with new technological tools, especially with the arrival of artificial intelligence, which is applicable at all levels of instructional practices. However, the application of technology in assessment in higher education has been understudied. This study focused on filling this research gap by examining…

The public release of ChatGPT in November 2022 brought excitement and concerns regarding students' use of language models in higher education. However, little research has empirically investigated students' intention to adopt ChatGPT. This study developed a theoretical model based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT)…

This research explored the attitudes of higher education students toward ChatGPT, an AI tool commonly employed for academic assistance. Our aim was to investigate students' acceptance and use of ChatGPT during their academic pursuits. We targeted two distinctive groups for our study: undergraduate and postgraduate students. Our findings show that…

While assistive technologies are crucial for students with special needs, the number of studies scrutinizing instructors' acceptance of assistive technologies within the scope of inclusive education remains quite limited. Furthermore, there is almost no comprehensive study in the existing body of literature focusing on the acceptance of assistive…

Background: Collaborative learning, which emphasises cooperative group techniques, intersects with the evolving role of social media as a tool. Understanding how cultural values influence these dynamics is crucial for effectively integrating and utilising social media into collaborative learning environments. Objective: This research aims to…

Technology adoption patterns, in general, have been shown to have a common set of predictive factors such as performance expectancy, social influence, voluntariness, effort expectancy, and facilitating conditions. However, the significance of such factors varies dramatically by situation and conditions. In the faculty adoption of online teaching…

The purpose of the current study was to develop an appropriate model to represent the relationships among all the significant factors about information and communication technology use for university students, both with and without learning disabilities. This study was conducted in Taiwan with a sample consisting of an international array of…

Post-secondary institutions are investing in and utilizing virtual reality (VR) for many educational purposes, including as a discretionary learning tool. Institutions such as vocational schools, community colleges, and universities need to understand what psychological factors drive students' acceptance of VR for learning in discretionary…

This paper examined the adoption and usage of e-learning communication tools by Mass Communication students of selected privately-owned Nigerian universities. The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) was the theoretical lens that guided the study. The online survey was used to gather data from 358 students. Data analysis was…

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are a mode of online learning available to students at any place in the world to improve their skills. Their acceptance for academic purposes remains low, and it is desirable to promote their usage among students. The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) was enhanced by the inclusion of…

Identifying and understanding factors influencing the adoption of a specific technology in various educational settings is critical for maximizing the effectiveness of using the technology. Research based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in education provides an extensive insight into constructs that influence the adoption of learning…

Purpose: Most research using extended unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2) and other technology acceptance models (TAM) are quantitative studies. This leaves room for interpretation when they are applied to university lecturers' acceptance of online teaching because the models were originally created for the consumer…

The internet has considerably changed the landscape of communication in the 21st century. People no longer have to leave their homes to engage in meaningful interpersonal communication. More importantly, individuals who have an inherent fear of human interaction seek solace and comfort in communication technologies. This study investigated how…

Conflicting perspectives exist regarding the application of the technology acceptance model (TAM) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to the study of technology acceptance behavior. The present study addressed the controversy by evaluating and comparing the predictive power of the two theories in a specific context, which was to measure…
