Abstract

The study aims to delve into the influential factors of student performance in applying experiential teaching methods in vocational colleges in Chengdu, China. The research framework contains perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, use attitude, social influence, use intention, convenience, use behavior, and student performance. Questionnaires and quantitative analysis were relied on to acquire sample data. Before it was dispersed, the questionnaire's validity and reliability were determined. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modelling (SEM) were used to verify the model's goodness of fit, confirm causality and influence degree among variables, and test hypotheses. By the study's results, the behavioral intention had the largest influence on use behavior, and use behavior substantially impacted students' performance.
