Model of adoption of virtual tools by university students in the context of an emerging economy

“…However, the variables linked to the TAM constructs used in this research resulted in strong and adequate relationships that allowed us to examine the variables associated with the use and adoption of ICTs oriented to learning. This result was similar to those generated by Naffah et al (2016), Sun et al (2019), and Unal and Uzun (2020). Likewise, all the authors expressed in their research the favorable properties of TAM and its applicability in higher education.…”

“…In the same way, the research in its descriptive analysis had similar results compared to those of Dabbagh et al (2010), where the technological devices most used by students for the learning process were the smartphone and laptop, strengthening digital skills in students, thanks to e-learning and m-learning that served as an alternative to give continuity to the training processes during the pandemic. It should be added that the appearance of new ICTs has affected the massification and flexibility strategies for training in some HEIs (Naffah et al, 2016).…”

Tendencias en estudios sobre el uso y adopción de tecnologías de información y comunicación en instituciones de educación superior: un análisis bibliométrico

“…Por otra parte, la velocidad en que se transforman y aparecen tecnologías, y la gestión del conocimiento, inciden para que las IES impulsen estrategias que flexibilicen y modernicen sus Tendencias en estudio 152 procesos formativos (Chalela Naffah et al, 2016); estrategias que se han visto aceleradas por el surgimiento de la pandemia del COVID-19, dando lugar a que, la mayor parte de las IES, rápidamente comenzaran a darle continuidad a los procesos educativos, más allá de diversos niveles de calidad y de apoyo en el aprendizaje (Rama, 2021). En casos como el del estudio realizado a 10 universidades de Pakistán, el cual buscó responder los efectos del aprendizaje en línea en época de pandemia del COVID-19, se encontró que, aunque no confirmaron el vínculo directo entre la motivación de los estudiantes y el aprendizaje digital, se concluyó que este vínculo sí está mediado por la percepción del estudiantado sobre el grado en que sus necesidades psicológicas básicas se encontraban saciadas o no (Shah et al, 2021).…”

Mobile learning on higher educational institutions: how to encourage it?. Simulation approach

“…As the model suggests, it is assumed that the individual's intention of practicing mlearning depends on the individual's interaction with other individuals and their environment, through three fundamental factors: attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control. [34] In general, attitude is associated with the degree of an individual's feelings, whether favorable or unfavorable, on the performance of a specific behavior [34,35]. The attitude of an individual is the result of the feeling he or she has about the usefulness of carrying out a behavior [29,34,36].…”
