Determinants of Students’ Behavioral intention to use Chaoxing Learning Management System (LMS) in Ideological and Political Classroom by Structural Equation Modeling approach: an integration of TAM, UTAUT and TPB
Keywords:
Behavioral intention to use, Chaoxing LMS, Higher EducationAbstract
Purpose: This study examines factors shaping students’ behavioral intention to use the Chaoxing LMS in ideological and political classes at Zhanjiang University of Science and Technology.It integrates TAM, UTAUT, and TPB to build the conceptual framework. A total of 500 undergraduate students completed the questionnaire. Reliability analysis showed that the internal consistency coefficients of the scales ranged from 0.815 to 0.882, all above the 0.70 threshold. The average variance extracted (AVE) values ranged from 0.525 to 0.688, exceeding the recommended minimum for most constructs. The AVE for Facilitating Conditions was 0.525, slightly above the 0.50 threshold. Research design, data and methodology: This was a quantitative study that employs Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) for data analysis. Results: The results show that attitude toward Chaoxing LMS (ATCL) has the strongest effect on behavioral intention to use (BITU) (β = 0.595, t = 11.79). This is followed by perceived behavioral control (PBC), social influence (SI), and facilitating conditions (FC). Perceived ease of use (PEOU) affects BITU indirectly through perceived usefulness (PU).PEOU has a strong positive effect on PU (β = 0.801, t = 14.502), both positively correlating with ATCL.
