Examining university students’ behavioural intention to use e-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic: An extended TAM model

Abstract

This present study aims to investigate factors that impact behavioural intention of university students on e-learning use during the COVID-19 pandemic. An online questionnaire was utilised to gather data from 109 students enrolled in one of the universities in Indonesia. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was the primary framework employed for analysis, in which system quality and e-learning experience were included as external constructs to seek out a much better model to improve the understanding of students’ intention to adopt e-learning. An extended TAM model was developed and tested in this study. The model consists of six constructs: system quality, e-learning experience, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitude toward use, and behavioural intention. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) and SMART PLS 3.0 software were applied for data analysis. The findings informed that the proposed model has been succefully explained factors university students use of e-learning during the pandemic in Indonesia. It suggested that attitude toward e-learning use was the most prominent construct to predict university students’ behavioural intention to use e-learning during the pandemic. Finally, this study offers recommendations for future research and practices.

Remote emergency learning during COVID-19 and its impact on university students perception of blended learning in KSA

“…Several studies were conducted to determine the factors that are expected to have an effect on students' remote emergency learning experience (Tanveer et al, 2020;Mailizar et al, 2021;Gopal et al, 2021;Almaiah et al, 2020;Sharma & Alvi, 2021;Almossa, 2021).The Community of Inquiry and Acceptance model is a widely used model in studies of learning environments' impact on student's cognitive process. This model was extended in several previous studies to examine factors related to variant modes of online and blended learning.…”

“…In accordance with the above, it is evident that there are more researchers who have used Subjective Norm, for example [59], [78], [82], [83], [1], [26], [85], [86], [87], [88], [89], [90], [91], [92], Experience in the internet & computer [59], [77], [81], [82], [84], [85], [93], [94], [95], [96], [97] Self-Efficacy [59], [83], [84], [85], [1], [71], [72], [73], [86], [95], [98], [99], [74], [97], Technical Support [59], [42], [73], [74], [83], [100], [101], [102] and Anxiety [72], [73],…”

“…Researchers [96], [97], [122] emphasized that Experience in the internet and Computer has no significant impact on Perceived Usefulness while other researchers [59], [76], [82], [94], [95], [123] identified that Experience in the internet and computer has a significantly impact on Perceived Usefulness further confirmed that Experience in the internet and Computer has a significant positive impact on the Perceived Usefulness [76], [82], [94], [95], [123] while researcher [59] found that Experience in the internet and Computer has a significant negative impact on the Perceived Usefulness.…”

“…Researchers [96], [126] emphasized that Experience in the internet and Computer has no significant impact on Perceived Ease of Use while other researchers [59], [76], [82], [94], [95], [97], [123] identified that Experience in the internet and Computer has a significant positive impact on computers and the Perceived Ease of Use.…”

“…TAM's popularity was demonstrated by the number of articles and introductory papers [41] and [42]. [53], [69], [70], [57], [71], [61], [72][73][74][75][76] Self-Efficacy [35], [53], [58], [71], [61], [59], [55], [77], [78], [62], [74], [79][80][81], [76], Technical Support [35], [53], [29], [78], [81], [58], [82], [83], [84] and Anxiety [35], [77], [78], [69], [71], [61], [76], [85][86] [42]. There is a significant impact, so it is once Subjective Norm's collaboration was incorporated into the new model to examine a link between behavioral intention and social influence [36], [42].…”
