| Abstract | Purpose: This study ains to examine the factors influencing the acceptance and usage of the ubiquitous learning (u-learning) system among parents of preschool students in a private school in Samutprakarn, Thailand during to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) were used to study the parents behavior in the context of technology acceptance and actual use. Research design, data, and methodology: Quantitative research and non-probability sampling techniques were utilized. Item-Objective Congruence and pilot testing were applied to check the content validity and reliability of the questionnaire prior to administering it to 500 respondents via an online survey questionnaire. The data were analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Result: The findings reveal that perceived usefulness influences attitude and behavioral intention to use u-learning. Performance expectay directly influences the intention to use the U-learning system. On the other hand, perceived ease of use, effort expectancy, and social influence have no significant impact on behavioral intention. Conclusions: The key findings provide technology developers, curriculum designers, and educators with inputs on creating useful and practical strategies to improve the current u-learning system suitable for preschool learners. |
