Why People Adopt Vr English Language Learning Systems: An Extended Perspective Of Task-Technology Fit

Abstract

Virtual Reality (VR) techniques involving immersion, interaction, and imagination, not only can improve conventional teaching methods, but also can enhance the transmission of education training contents through the interaction and simulation characteristics of VR. Incorporating information technology (IT) with English teaching has become an important issue in the academic field. Emerging after computer-assisted teaching, interactive network learning, distance education, and mobile learning in the early days, virtual reality techniques have been regarded as a new trend of merging technology with education.To explore the factors affecting users' adoption intention of VR English language learning systems (VRELLS), this study has sought to build a theoretical framework based on the task-technology fit theory (extrinsic motivation) combining users' needs (internal and external needs) and satisfaction to put forward an integrated research model (perceived needstechnology fit model), which explicates people's adoption behaviors of VRELLS. An online questionnaire was employed to collect empirical data. A total of 291 samples were analyzed using a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach. The results of the study showed that both perceived needstechnology fit and satisfaction play a significant role in the user' adoption intention of VRELLS services. In addition, the utilitarian and hedonic needs have a positive impact on the user's perceived needstechnology fit. Also, it was found that relative advantage, service compatibility and complexity are important factors in influencing individuals' perceived needs-technology fit. The implications of these findings are discussed along with suggestions for future research.

Usefulness and Ease of Use of E-Learning Towards the Effectiveness of Training and Development Programs for Civil Servants

“…Digital learning technology is thought to help students improve learning and tend to be motivated when they enter work [24]. This was also proven by [25] who found that those who have experience using a technology continuously will have a positive effect on how easy it is to use and apply. According to [26] the success of the e-learning system depends on the cooperation between the ICT center, the responsible center, and the leader responsible for introducing ICT-based learning to understand the next [27].…”

Integrating TTF and UTAUT models to illuminate factors that influence consumers' intentions to adopt financial technologies in an emerging country context

“…Goodhue and Thompson (1995) added that an IT system can only be adopted when its functionality meets the needs of the task. In other words, when the task and technology are fit, users' performance can be strengthened (Wang and Lin, 2020). The TTF consists of the relationship between individuals, tasks requirement, and technology characteristics Goodhue and Thompson, 1995).…”
