Abstract

This study aims to explore the factors that affect secondary students’ learning management system (LMS) acceptance, with a focus on the influence of socio-economic status (SES) and migration background. It presents findings of a territory-wide survey on 965 students from 27 secondary schools in Hong Kong. Drawn from technology acceptance model, a model was proposed and tested with the survey data. The results of a structural equation modeling analysis confirm the hypothesized model. The results also indicate significant difference between two migration background groups on the model. Specifically, the effect of perceived self-efficacy on perceived ease-of-use and intention to LMS use, are stronger for local students than students with Mainland China migration background. Implications of findings are discussed.
