Abstract

This study examined the effects of the main determinants on secondary school students’ one-to-one computing technology acceptance and use. Additionally, we assessed the effects of computer self-efficacy, computer anxiety, and attitude toward technology on the computing technology acceptance and use. The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology model guided this study, hypothesizing the relationships between the determinants affecting behavioral intention to use the technology among secondary school students. According to the results of structural equation modeling, this study confirmed that secondary school students’ behavioral intention to use one-to-one computing technology was significantly predicted by their social influence and attitude toward computing technology. In particular, they have strong beliefs in the usefulness of one-to-one computing technology.
