Subclaims¶

q2 i? Factor extraction statistically regarded PU and perceived enjoyment as one factor, and PEoU and perceived risks as one factor. → Zhanni Luo 2024

Zhanni Luo. (2024). Factors contributing to teachers' acceptance intention to gamified EFL tools: a scale development study. Education Tech Research Dev. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11423-023-10249-6

q2 · i? · associational · r2

EFA results from the 512-teacher survey (PCA with Varimax rotation). The article reports the factor extraction "statistically regarded" the paired constructs as single factors, which the authors interpret as a face-validity problem. No effect size printed.

"It worth noticing that the factor extraction results indicated that the PU and perceived enjoyment were statistically regarded as one factor, as well as the constructs PEoU and perceived risks."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• In the EFA with 512 secondary school teachers, only two factors (PU and PEoU) were extracted from the proposed six-factor acceptance framework — a broader claim this one bears on
• Most proposed constructs showed high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha above 0.70) but control variables did not and were removed — related
• Item reduction produced a validated five-item PU scale (α = 0.899) and a six-item PEoU scale for gamified EFL contexts — related
• Teacher interviews identified perceived risks of gamified EFL tools: lack of support from principals, parents or students, side effects, and loss of teacher control — related
