Abstract

行動學習是使用行動裝置及無線網路等行動通訊設備,搭配行動學習的數位化學習系統,使得學習者不受時間、地點的限制,以享受學習所帶來的便利性、立即性及適宜性。本研究以單組後測實驗設計以台灣中部地區125位高中學生為研究對象,在實際使用PDA進行英語學習之後,探討其持續使用意圖。研究架構上,本研究以科技接受模型為其架構,並加入學習者的知覺便利性及學習者好奇心等因素。研究結果顯示,好奇心正向影響持續使用意圖,知覺便利性正向影響知覺有用性及持續使用意圖。Mobile learning involves the use of mobile technologies such as PDAs, Smartphones, and Wireless networks to tailor learning to a student’s cognitive ability, circumstances, and task requirements. Therefore, this study examined the influence of perceived relevance on mobile learning, and assessed whether it affected the acceptance of any particular mobile learning technology. A research study was deployed using 125 male students from a senior high school in central Taiwan. The study adopted the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and incorporated the factors of perceived curiosity and convenience. The results of the study revealed that perceived curiosity had a positive impact on continuous intention to use, and perceived convenience had positive effect on perceived usefulness, and continue intention to use.
