With the rapid development of information and communication technology,Mlearning is becoming more mature and playing an increasingly important role in higher education.According to the 2019 Horizon Report(Higher Education Edition),Mlearning will be one of the six technologies that will drive education change in the next five years.With the widespread popularity of smartphones and 5th generation mobile communication networks(5G)in people’s lives,M-learning based on mobile phones will play a key role in higher education.To this end,Ningxia S Medical College actively responded to the requirements of the national " Informatization 2.0" plan and the construction of the " Ningxia Internet+"demonstration area,and developed a mobile online learning platform for school-based applications.The acceptance of M-learning for medical students and its influencing factors are the key to the success of M-learning projects in medical education.Most of the existing studies focus on the broader group of college students,ignoring the disciplines,and different professional backgrounds have different attitudes towards mobile learning.Considering that there are few studies focusing on this special professional group of medical students,and the results of the same influence variable will be different in different studies.Therefore,this article takes the M-learning platform developed by Ningxia S Medical College as an example to conduct a systematic investigation and quantitative research on medical students’acceptance of M-learning based on mobile phones and its influencing factors,and puts forward corresponding suggestions and opinions.Research process:Based on the research on the factors affecting M-learning at home and abroad,this article uses the UTAUT2 model,and then conducts a semi-structured interview with 25 medical students at Ningxia S Medical College.Based on student feedback,it increases the limitations of the mobile phone,Platform user interface design and students’ personal innovation ability acceptance of emerging things,build the theoretical model adopted in this study.Secondly,referring to the relevant research literature,a questionnaire was designed for the influence factors of medical students’acceptance of M-learning based on mobile phones.Based on the pre-survey,the scale was modified to improve its reliability and validity,and finally the questionnaire used in this study was formed.A total of 1,673 medical students at Ningxia S Medical College were selected as the research subjects,SPSS21.0 and AMOS22.0 were used to analyze the preset theoretical model and form the final research model and research results.Research results:The results of this study show that(1)84%of medical students at Ningxia S Medical College are optimistic about M-learning based on mobile phones,4%of medical students are pessimistic.(2)Medical students at Ningxia S Medical College ranked the factors influencing M-learning based on mobile phones from the highest to the bottom:habits>personal innovation>social impact>user interface>performance expectations>mobile device limitations>hedonic motivation.Among them,hardware limitations have a significant negative impact on M-learning based on mobile phones for medical students,and efforts to expect and promote conditions have no significant effect on medical students’ acceptance of M-learning based on mobile phones.(3)Analysis of the multi-group structural equation model found that gender has a moderating effect on the model,while grade has a moderating effect on the model.
