extended UTAUT Model for Mobile Learning Adoption Studies

Abstract

Mobile learning has seen tremendous growth in recent years, and the future seems promising with the mass integration of mobile devices in the teaching and learning process. The adoption of mobile learning technology is one of the widely researched areas. In this paper, the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model was extended to study mobile learning adoption. Seventy-seven different mobile learning adoption studies were analyzed, and seven new constructs (interaction, self-efficacy, innovation and motivation, satisfaction, attitude, literacy and readiness, and non-functional requirements) were added to the UTAUT model. Validation of the extended model was conducted, and the results indicate that it can positively contribute to the study of mobile learning adoption.
