Abstract:

Mobile technologies offer more than just calling. There are number of innovative features that are crucial and impactful to educational purpose. Despite the importance of understanding factors influencing mobile technologies for learning, this area has received limited research. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate factors influencing intention to use m-learning among students at Malaysian technical universities. The research framework for this research has been adopted from unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) to achieve research objectives. A total of 400 set of data was collected from four Malaysia technical universities using purposeful structured random sampling and self-administrated survey questionnaire. AMOS was performed to test whether the model of its good fit to test hypotheses formulated. The results revealed that performance expectancy and self-management of learning are significant related to behavioral intention to use m-learning while effort expectancy, social influence and perceived playfulness do not indicate significant relationship with intention to use mobile technologies for learning among students at Malaysia technical universities. The findings of this study added new understanding as regard to factors influencing students' intention to use m-learning in higher education.
