ABSTRACT

This empirical study investigated hospitality management students’ perceptions of simulation-based learning within the framework of the technology acceptance model (TAM). To assess participants’ perceptions of simulation-based learning (SBL), a questionnaire was formulated based on prior research to address computer self-efficacy (CSE), perceived ease of use (PEU), Perceived usefulness (PU), attitude (A), intention to use (IU), and frequency of use (FU). Roughly 805 participants from the U.S. and Canada took part in this study. Collected data were analyzed using SmartPLS; results revealed that CSE is a significant predictor of PEU and PU. Study outcome further illustrated that PEU has a significant impact on PU, A, and FU. Also, IU is directly influenced by PU and A. Theoretical and practical implications are also included in this study.

摘要

本实证研究调查了酒店管理专业学生在技术接受模型 (TAM) 框架内对基于模拟的学习的看法。为了评估参与者对基于模拟的学习 (SBL) 的看法，根据先前的研究制定了一份调查问卷，以解决计算机自我效能 (CSE)、感知易用性 (PEU)、感知有用性 (PU)、态度 (A) 、使用意向 (IU) 和使用频率 (FU)。来自美国和加拿大的大约 805 名参与者参与了这项研究。使用 SmartPLS 分析收集的数据；结果表明，CSE 是 PEU 和 PU 的重要预测因子。研究结果进一步说明 PEU 对 PU、A 和 FU 有显着影响。此外，IU 直接受 PU 和 A 的影响。本研究还包括理论和实践意义。
