q2 i? The BI→UB path was significant (p = 0.000) but the coefficient was low (0.034), suggesting other factors also affect actual use. → Tuan Thanh Nguyen 2023

Tuan Thanh Nguyen. (2023). Exploring the Interaction of Meta-UTAUT in the Mobile-Assisted Language Learning Environment for EFL Learning. Journal of Educators Online. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1445637 doi:10.9743/jeo.2024.21.4.13

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Structural model assessment in the same PLS-SEM survey study (n = 396). The article reports a statistically significant BI→UB effect and states "the correlation is quite low W=0.034)"; no standardized effect size is printed.

"Nevertheless, the correlation is quite low W=0.034), suggesting that elements other than intention may also have an impact on actual use behaviors of MALL in EFL learning."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• In a Vietnamese EFL sample, all six Meta-UTAUT hypotheses on MALL adoption were accepted with p-values below 0.05 — related
• The measurement model showed adequate reliability and convergent validity, and BI and UB models showed substantial explanatory power — related
• Social influence has a small positive impact on MALL use in EFL acquisition among Vietnamese learners — related
• Behavioral intention translates only weakly into self-reported use behavior, and the extended UTAUT model explains intention formation better than enactment — related
• Metacognitive knowledge and intentions to use effective strategies do not reliably translate into actual strategy use (intention-behavior gap) — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
