Investigating the factors affecting the acceptance of "accompanying learning" in nursing students based on the technology acceptance model

Mobile learning" is one of the turning points in education in the 21st century. However, before its application, students' acceptance is an essential factor for the successful implementation of this technology. This study aims to determine the factors affecting the acceptance of co-learning in students of Saveh Nursing Department based on the technology acceptance model.Methods: The present study is a descriptive study whose statistical population included all nursing, midwifery, operating room, and anesthesia students of Saveh University of Medical Sciences who were selected by available sampling method with a volume of 310 students. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire based on the technology acceptance model used after validity and reliability. Data analysis was performed through descriptive statistics and inferential statistics through the statistical technique of structural equation modeling (SEM) and confirmatory path analysis using LISREL software.Results: Mean of all variables (usefulness (3.9), behavioral intention (4.12), ease of use (4.23), attitude (3.76), and actual use (3.93)) except for external factors (58 / 2) was higher than the baseline average of 3 and indicated good acceptance of co-learning by students. The lowest average (2.12) was related to the teacher support item regarding the use of mobile phones for learning purposes in external factors. Among the variables of external factors (r = 0.27), usefulness (r = 0.44), ease of use (r = 0.27), attitude (r = 0.47), behavioral intention (r = 0.5) with There was a significant correlation between actual use (P <0.01).Conclusion: The results showed that the technology acceptance model structures are approved and appropriate for predicting the acceptance of mobile learning.
