Abstract
Online education (o-education) is gaining significant attention from education providers, students, and policy makers. This research explored students’ behaviours and intentions towards online education. The present research utilised the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) as a model to investigate these intentions and behaviours. The study incorporated UTAUT predictors along with three additional independent variables. This study adopted a cross-sectional design and used a closed-end questionnaire to collect data from 403 respondents. The data were analysed with SPSS and AMOS by utilising structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques. The results of the SEM analysis indicate that perceived value (PV) and convenience (Cnv) have positive influences on behavioural intention (BI), while perceived risk has a negative impact on behavioural intention (BI). Additionally, facilitating conditions (FC) and behavioural intention (BI) are found to positively influence use behavior (UB). The research findings suggest that demographics, including age, education and gender, influence behavioural intention (BI). The findings of the study have theoretical and practical implications, which are elaborated in the last section of this article.
