Extending Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology with DeLone & McLean IS Quality Constructs to Predict Pre-Service Teachers Mobile Learning Adoption and Continuance Behaviour

The adoption of mobile learning to education eliminates barriers to teaching and learning activities. It introduces a new belief that teaching and learning activities can be executed without being limited by location and time. So, there is a general belief that if adopted among pre-service teachers, will improve usage and academic performance. The study employed a stratified sampling technique to select 475 pre-service teachers from Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions. Data were collected through structured questionnaire designed on a five-point Likert scale, which captured respondents’ perception on UTAUT and IS quality construct. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) through SmartPLS 3.0. The results revealed that student’s intentions to use mobile learning significantly influenced their behaviour. Additionally, facilitating condition, social influence, performance expectancy and information quality influenced students’ intentions to use mobile learning. The study indicated that mobile learning usage is highly predicted by its antecedents. Furthermore, the study suggests that the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) can be enhanced by incorporating quality constructs to influence students’ behaviour and promote adoption of mobile learning.
