既然便捷性是移动学习的特点之一，它是否会影响人们使用移动技术的态度和意图？本研究对David(1989)提出的技术接受模型()进行了扩展，使其具有感知便利性。在英语移动学习方面，本文分析了扩展量表的变量及其解释力，并考察了影响英语移动学习接受度的因素。受试者为来自台湾中部地区的158名大学生。在用掌上电脑进行英语移动学习后，通过问卷调查的方式收集数据。结果发现：a)感知便利性、感知易用性和感知有用性是影响英语移动学习接受度的前向因素；b)感知便利性、感知易用性和感知有用性对使用态度有显著正向影响；c)感知有用性和使用态度对持续使用意向有显著正向影响。总体而言，本研究的扩展对英语移动学习的接受度有较好的预测和解释作用。以往关于移动学习的相关研究很少考察的便利感与其他变量之间的关系。因此，本研究的发现为今后与移动学习的相关研究提供了参考。
Since convenience is one of the features for mobile learning, does it affect attitude and intention of using mobile technology? The technology acceptance model (TAM), proposed by David (1989), was extended with perceived convenience in the present study. With regard to English language mobile learning, the variables in the extended TAM and its explanatory power were analysed and antecedent factors that affected acceptance of English mobile learning were also examined. Participants were 158 college students from the middle part of Taiwan. After conducting English mobile learning with a PDA, data was collected by questionnaires. The results revealed that: a) perceived convenience, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness were antecedent factors that affected acceptance of English mobile learning; b) perceived convenience, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness had a significantly positive effect on attitude toward using; and c) perceived usefulness and attitude toward using had a significantly positive effect on continuance of intention to use. Overall, the extended TAM in the present study was effective at predicting and explaining the acceptance of English mobile learning. In the past, there were few mobile learning related studies examining the relationships between perceived convenience and other variables in the TAM. Therefore, the findings in the present study provide a reference for the future TAM and mobile learning related studies.
