PREDICTORS OF STUDENTS’ BEHAVIORAL INTENTION OF ONLINE ART APPRECIATION COURSES IN PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES IN CHENGDU, CHINA
Keywords:
Online Education, Perceived Satisfaction, Effort Expectancy, Attitude Towards Use, Behavioral IntentionAbstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the key predictors of the behavior intention of online art appreciation courses among undergraduates in three public universities in Chengdu, China. Perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, performance expectancy, perceived satisfaction, effort expectancy, attitude towards use and behavioral intention were associated in a research framework. The researchers employed a quantitative method to distribute surveys to 498 participants. The sampling techniques were judgmental, quota and convenience samplings. Item Objective Congruence (IOC) Index and Cronbach’s Alpha were approved before the data collection. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Model (SEM) were utilized for quantitative analysis, which include goodness of model fits, validity, and reliability tests. Most hypotheses were supported, except the relationship between effort expectancy and behavioral intention. Therefore, education managers are recommended to identify the main contributors to design effective online learning system and contents, so as to improve students' behavioral intention.
