Main Article Content
Abstract
Purpose: This study investigates the satisfaction and learning attitude of students majoring in environmental design within non-normal universities in Sichuan Province who engage with the Superstar learning system in a blended learning environment. The conceptual framework contains information quality, system quality, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived enjoyment, attitude and satisfaction. Research design, data, and methodology: Employing quantitative methods, the index of item-objective congruence and Cronbach’s Alpha are measures to ensure survey tool content validity and reliability. Questionnaires were distributed to undergraduate students majoring in environmental design at Chengdu University, Yibin University, and Sichuan University for Nationalities. The collected data underwent confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling to rigorously analyze and confirm the causal relationships between variables and conduct hypothesis testing. Results: The findings indicate that the research conceptual model effectively predicts and explains students' attitudes and satisfaction levels using the Superstar learning system. Nevertheless, system quality has no significant impact on perceived usefulness. Conclusions: This study significantly contributes to understanding the experiences and satisfaction of environmental design students in blended learning environments. Furthermore, it offers valuable insights that can guide educational practices and contribute to formulating policies to enhance the utilization of educational technologies, such as the Superstar learning systems.
