The rapid popularization of mobile Internet has brought many changes to people’s life.In the fields of education,it has created a new way of learning,which named mobile learning.Mobile learning depends on the development of mobile devices and mobile Internet,and it makes it possible for people to acquire information and learn knowledge whenever and wherever they want.Mobile learning has become an important way for people to improve their learning efficiency in the age of information and knowledge economy.But it always takes a certain amount of time to acquire the learners’ approval for a new way of learning,so it’s a matter of concern to improve learners’ willingness to use.In this study,we will explore the influence factors of mobile learning intention and their correlation.This study is based on technology acceptance model theory,immersion experience theory,informal learning theory,social interaction theory and social impact theory.We will puts forward the influencing factors that can positively affect the students’ willingness to use mobile learning from the three aspects of mobile device and network,personal and mobile society,and finally we will construct corresponding theoretical models.In order to achieve this goal,a questionnaire was designed which is related to influence factors influencing college students’ willingness to use mobile learning.In this paper,563 students of the minzu university of china were investigated,and the theoretical model was validated and discussed by using the structural equation model analysis method.The research conclusion is that self-efficacy,information literacy,social function,social influence,perceived usefulness,perceived ease of use and immersion experience can positively influence college students’ willingness to use mobile learning.Among them,perceived usefulness,perceived ease of use and immersive experience are the factors that directly affect the use intention,and self-efficacy,information literacy,social function and social influence are indirect influences on learners’ willingness to use.According to the final effect value,the influence of each variable on college students’ willingness to use will be obtained.The result is that perceived usability(0.662)>information literacy(0.491)>social function(0.425)>immersion experience(0.294)>perceived usefulness(0.274)>social impact(0.251)>self-efficacy(0.142).Based on the above conclusions,this paper proposes to strengthen the use intention of college students’ mobile learning from the following aspects.For mobile learners,information literacy and self-efficacy are important factors that influence their willingness to use.Learners should actively improve their own information retrieval,identification and selection ability,and improve the self-efficacy of mobile learning by taking notes and summarizing learning experiences in a timely manner.For mobile hardware developers and software designers,the primary consideration is how to provide users with the best experience and focus on learners’ personalized learning needs.For mobile learning resource providers,it is important to consider gradually transforming information services into knowledge services,providing systematic and modular learning resources and improving learners’ learning efficiency.For colleges and universities,we should strive to create a campus mobile learning environment,and teachers help and guide students to master the right mobile learning methods and skills.
