Determinants of ThaiMOOC Engagement: A Longitudinal Perspective on Adoption to Continuance

Informatics, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 12(1), С. 31 - 31

Опубликована: Март 19, 2025

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have become increasingly prevalent in higher education, with the COVID-19 pandemic further accelerating their integration, particularly developing countries. While MOOCs offered a vital solution for educational continuity during pandemic, factors influencing students’ sustained engagement them remain understudied. This longitudinal study examines learners’ ThaiMOOC, incorporating demographic characteristics, usage log data, and key predictors of adoption completion. Our research collected primary data from 841 university students who enrolled ThaiMOOC as mandatory curriculum component, using online surveys open-ended questions post-course analysis. Logistic regression analysis indicates that intention, course content, perceived effectiveness significantly predict Actual Continued Usage (ACU). Moreover, gender, prior MOOC experience, specific behaviors emerge influential factors. Content highlights importance local language support desire safety pandemic. Key elements driving ACU include video design, assessment, learner-to-learner interaction.

MOOC ДЛЯ ВЧИТЕЛІВ: ВИКЛИКИ ВПРОВАДЖЕННЯ В УМОВАХ ОБМЕЖЕНОЇ ЦИФРОВОЇ ІНФРАСТРУКТУРИ ЗЗСО УКРАЇНИ

New Collegium, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 117(1), С. 45 - 51

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2025

Розглядаються проблеми та перспективи впровадження масових відкритих онлайн-курсів (MOOC) як інструменту підвищення кваліфікації вчителів в умовах обмеженої цифрової інфраструктури закладів загальної середньої освіти (ЗЗСО) України. Зазначено, що цифровізація освіти, є одним із пріоритетних напрямів державної політики, передбачає активне використання інноваційних технологій, зокрема MOOC, для розвитку професійних компетентностей педагогів. Наголошено, на шляху ефективного MOOC Україні постає низка викликів, зумовлених, перш за все, невідповідністю матеріально-технічної бази шкіл сучасним вимогам. Проведено аналіз чинної нормативно-правової бази, Закону України «Про повну загальну середню освіту», «Концепції цифрових компетентностей», Концепції «Нова українська школа», а також статистичні дані Міністерства трансформації результати опитування SELFIE. Виявлено значну диспропорцію забезпеченні ЗЗСО комп’ютерною технікою доступом до якісного Інтернет-з’єднання, особливо у сільській місцевості. Встановлено, 40 % не мають належного інтернет-з’єднання, 57 комп’ютерів застарілі. Обґрунтовано, обмежена цифрова інфраструктура, брак сучасного обладнання програмного забезпечення, низький рівень компетентності унеможливлюють повноцінне переваг MOOC. Навіть після успішного проходження педагоги стикаються з неможливістю застосування отриманих знань практиці через несумісність вивчених інструментів наявною технічною базою. Наголошується необхідності комплексного підходу вирішення проблеми, включатиме суттєве оновлення шкіл, розробку адаптованих українських реалій MOOC,а створення системи цільової методичної підтримки вчителів. Підкреслено, успішна інтеграція систему потребує узгоджених дій боку держави, органів управління освітою, розробників освіти.

Objectives: Task-Technology Fit (TTF) is mainly used to determine the users’ performance based on tasks and technological attributes. This study integrated evaluated TTF with Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) Unified Theory of Use 2 (UTAUT2). paper aims compile analyze literature task-technology fit since 2000. Method: Through meta-analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM) approach, understand application in last 20 years explore future research directions. In addition, this employs subgroup analysis sample sub-grouping better differences between these studies. The samples were divided into two categories: identity groups (employee, individual, student) voluntary (voluntary non-voluntary). Findings: relationship variables belonging original model (including TASK, TEC, TTF, PI, UT) was found be relatively stable. After combining UTAUT2 PEOU, BI, PE) IC, all paths also have a medium or high effect. TTF-BI path significant identity-based analysis, IC-TTF voluntary-based analysis. Novelty:Given that traditional too subjective, adopts MASEM as applied management research. There are few similar studies so far. Therefore, not only analyzes objectively through but provides some directions suggestions for expanding hopes give stronger explanation Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2024-08-01-06 Full Text: PDF
