| As a carrier,micro-courses can spread mobile micro knowledge.It is a derivative of the development of educational informatization.It can not only enable students to study independently anytime and anywhere,but also promote teachers’ professional development.Therefore,micro class has been the choice of many teachers,but there are many obstacles in the actual use of teachers.After combing the literature,it is found that there are few studies on the influencing factors of the adoption of micro-courses from the perspective of teachers’ adoption of technology.In view of this,on the basis of retaining the core variables of UTAUT(Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology)model,combined with the actual use of micro-courses,this study adds two variables(school technology leadership and individual innovation)to form an extended UTAUT model for teachers to adopt micro-courses.Taking the teachers of three high schools in Fenyang City(Fenyang middle school,Fenyang No.2 middle school and Fenyang No.4 middle school)as the research object,this paper studies the influencing factors and mechanism of high school teachers’ adoption of micro-courses by using the method of questionnaire,structural equation modeling,intermediary effect analysis and other data analysis methods.Research shows:1.Path analysis:(1)In the UTAUT model,performance expectations and social influence do not have a significant positive impact on Behavioral Intention,and other paths have a significant positive impact.(2)In the UTAUT extended model,school technology leadership has a positive impact on the UTAUT model(effort expectation,performance expectation and social influence).(3)Descriptive statistics:The order of the mean value of the six influencing factors is: school technology leadership(M = 4.06,SD = 0.90)> social influence(M = 3.97,SD = 0.78)> performance expectation(M = 3.89,SD = 0.92)> individual innovation(M = 3.90,SD = 0.83)>facilitating conditions(M = 3.75,SD = 0.92)> effort expectation(M = 3.45,SD = 0.99).Results the order of the mean value of variables was: behavioral intention(M = 4.03,SD= 0.89)> usage behavior(M = 3.78,SD = 0.90).3.Intermediary and chain intermediary analysis:School technology leadership,mediated by performance expectation and individual innovation,indirectly affects high school teachers’ behavioral intention of using micro-courses.The performance expectation and individual innovation of high school teachers are mediated by the behavioral intention,which indirectly affects the use behavior of high school teachers.The two chain mediators of performance expectation and behavioral intention,individual innovation and behavioral intention have significant mediating effects between school informatization leadership and teachers’ use behavior.Therefore,the following research conclusions can be obtained:(1)The research puts forward an extended model of high school teachers’ adoption of micro-courses.Compared with UTAUT model,the inclusion of school technology leadership and individual innovation performance can better explain teachers’ adoption and acceptance of micro-courses in the county context.(2)The overall performance is that teachers perceive that the school information support is high,but they still feel that they are not competent,the use and willingness of micro-courses are high,and the behavior is low.(3)It is proved that there is an action mechanism between the influencing factors: school technology leadership plays a role in Teachers’ adoption of micro-courses(behavioral intention and usage behavior)through performance expectation and individual innovation.That is,under the role of school technology leadership,teachers will really accept it when they have strong innovation and think that micro-courses can bring performance to themselves.(4)In general,the four influencing factors of school technology leadership,performance expectation,individual innovation and facilitating conditions have a significant impact on Teachers’ adoption of micro-courses,while the impact of effort expectation and social influence is not significant.According to the research conclusion,three suggestions are put forward. |
