Teachers’ Continued VR Technology Usage Intention: An Application of the UTAUT2 Model

Teachers’ Continued VR Technology Usage Intention: An Application of the UTAUT2 Model

January-March 2024 | Wenbin Du and Ruo-yu Liang
This study investigates the cultural and psychological factors that significantly influence elementary and secondary school teachers' intention to accept and continue using VR technology in their classrooms. Using the extended unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2) model, the researchers conducted a questionnaire survey with 351 teachers from four provinces in China. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS) technique. The results indicate that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, and hedonic motivation significantly impact teachers' continued usage intention, while habit does not. The study suggests that enhancing teachers' professional development, increasing the publicity of VR technology integration, and creating a favorable climate for adoption can contribute to teachers' continued use of VR technology in the classroom. The findings also highlight the importance of providing technical support and training to teachers to facilitate their integration of VR technology into their teaching practices.This study investigates the cultural and psychological factors that significantly influence elementary and secondary school teachers' intention to accept and continue using VR technology in their classrooms.
