Description
Summary:<p>The objective of this study is to examine the effect of smart learning environment (SLE)</p><p>on behavioral intention (IUSL) in UAE education. Besides, this study also aimed to test</p><p>the mediation effect of perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEOU) in</p><p>the relationship between SLE and IUSL in UAE education. This study applied a</p><p>quantitative research approach. The questionnaires were used for data collection. The</p><p>respondents were chosen by using a simple random sampling technique, which</p><p>comprised students from UAE secondary schools. Data analysis was performed on the</p><p>387 valid questionnaires by using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory</p><p>factor analysis (CFA), and structural equation modelling (SEM). The findings revealed</p><p>that 68% (R2 =0.68) variation in IUSL is explained by SLE, PU and PEOU. The specific</p><p>findings showed that SLE has a significant effect on IUSL (=0.505, p=0.020), SLE</p><p>has a significant effect on PU (=0.980, p=0.000), SLE has a significant effect on</p><p>PEOU ( =0.985, p=0.000), PU has a significant effect on IUSL ( =0.163, p=0.023),</p><p>and PEOU has a significant effect on IUSL (=0.985, p=0.000). The findings also</p><p>revealed that PU partially mediates the relationship between SLE and IUSL. However,</p><p>PEOU fully mediates the relationship between SLE and IUSL. This study provides an</p><p>immeasurable contribution mostly to academia and practitioner. This study offers an</p><p>expanded technology acceptance model for smart learning environment that could</p><p>assist researchers in adopting management practices. Besides, this study provides a</p><p>guideline for the establishment of a smart learning environment for positive behavior</p><p>among students in the UAE education context.</p>
