Exploring The Factors That Influence Students' Behavioralintention To Use M-Learning

Mobile learning (m-learning) applications have recently become a phenomenon, and there is increasing demand for their incorporation into the educational sector. However, many educational institutes face challenges among their student bodies in both the acceptance and use of m-learning applications. The aim of this study is to examine the essential factors that may affect students’ behavioral intention to use these applications, specifically employing the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model to determine the influence of different factors on students’ adoption and usage of m-learning applications. Data were collected via online questionnaire, to which 290 university students responded. Results showed that effort expectancy and performance expectancy were significant factors that determinedstudent acceptance and use of m-learning applications, while facilitating condition and social influence were insignificant, having no effect on students’ behavioral intention toward the usage of m-learning applications. The results of this study provide essential information for educational institutionsas to how they can increase students’ utilization of m-learning applications. Some implications of m-learningacceptance and usage were discussed
