ABSTRACT

The research on the influencing factors of the use of digital learning resources is the focus of this field. Although a large number of empirical studies involve the discussion of influencing factors, the conclusions of different studies are also different. Through meta-analysis, taking 146 effect values and 9996 independent research objects in 19 works of literature as samples, this study analyzes the effective influencing factors of digital learning resource use, and compares the differences of the influencing effects of each factor on use behavior and use intention. The study found that Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, Content Quality, Subjective Norm, and Self-Efficacy is the common effective influencing factors of use behavior and use intention, and the influence effect of each factor on use intention is significantly greater than that of use behavior. The research results of this study further develop the understanding of the influencing factors of the Technology Acceptance Model and propose to deepen the research on irrational factors to the academic community. It is also hoped that the disclosure of the above influencing effects in this study can provide support for the builders of digital learning resources.
