A Review on the Application of UTAUT2 in Mobile Learning

Fei Zhang

Abstract


Emerging as the most comprehensive theory in understanding individual technology acceptance, Extended Unifi ed Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) has seen growing applications across various domains. This study summarizes the limitations of existing research by sorting out the literature on UTAUT2 in the field of mobile learning and proposes future research directions: First, more empirical research is needed to examine the effects of use behaviour and moderating variables. Second, a great diversity of respondents is encouraged so that deeper insights can be gained from students and teachers at different educational stages. Third, longitudinal research can be effective in tracking users’ usage and capturing changes in users’ technological acceptance at different stages.
