Factors Affecting Learners’ Adoption of an Educational Metaverse Platform: An Empirical Study Based on an Extended UTAUT Model

“…e evolution of technology acceptance theories has progressed since the early twentieth century and has been dominated by eight theoretical models, namely, (i) the model of PC utilization (MPCU) [69], (ii) the theory of reasoned action (TRA) [70], (iii) innovation diffusion theory (IDT) [71], (iv) the theory of planned behavior (TPB) [72], (v) the motivational model (MM) [73], (vi) the technology acceptance model (TAM) [74], (vii) social cognitive theory (SCT) [75], and (viii) a combined TPB and TAM (C-TAM-TPB) model [76]. However, these exploratory models vary widely and have limitations in terms of harmonization, which may cause confusion among researchers and those who interpret their findings [17,32]. erefore, Venkatesh et al [18] integrated these older theories into a unified framework known as the UTAUT model [18].…”

“…e application of this technology in educational settings has become a reality in many countries and has proven improved learners' online learning performance [15][16][17]. However, what factors affect the acceptance and adoption of the educational metaverse (hereinafter referred to as the "Eduverse") as seen from learners' perspectives is still an unanswered question.…”

Factors Affecting the Intention and Use of Metaverse
