Abstract
This study aims to investigate the determinants shaping the behavioural intentions and usage patterns of primary school parents within a private school in Samutprakarn, Thailand, specifically in the context of ubiquitous learning (u-learning). Employing a quantitative research design, the study engaged 500 respondents through an online questionnaire, utilising a non-probability sampling technique. Prior to administration, content validity and reliability of the questionnaire were ensured through Item-Objective Congruence and pilot testing. The data underwent analysis via Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The results reveal that perceived usefulness significantly influences both attitude and behavioural intention towards u-learning, while effort expectancy directly impacts the intention to embrace technology. Furthermore, behavioural intention emerges as a direct precursor to the actual use behaviour in the context of ubiquitous learning. In contrast, perceived ease of use, performance expectancy, social influence, and attitude were identified as non-significant factors. In conclusion, the study underscores the pivotal role of perceived usefulness, followed by effort expectancy, in shaping the acceptance of technology. This highlights the imperative for technology developers, curriculum designers, and educators to strategically incorporate these elements into the design of effective u-learning systems tailored for primary school learners, particularly during crises.
