Factors Affecting the Acceptance of Asynchronous Video-Based Learning among Malaysian Secondary School Students

Abstract

The use of Asynchronous Video-Based Learning (AVBL) has garnered much discussion throughout the years. Several studies have reported the benefits of learning through videos; however, an in-depth understanding of students' intention to adopt AVBL remains unclear. Thus, to better understand secondary school students' intention to adopt AVBL in Malaysia, five predictors are selected for this study. These predictors, namely performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, viewing attitude, and facilitating condition, are based on the Unified Theory of Technology Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and Active Viewing Framework (AVF). Many studies have used UTAUT in research on the usage of videos in the classroom (Wijaya et al., 2022); however, research that includes students' viewing attitudes to study their acceptance of AVBL is still scarce. This nationwide study adopts the correlational research design involving 401 secondary school students. Samples will be selected based on the stratified cluster sampling method, and data will be collected through a structured online questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses such as Pearson correlation and Multiple Linear Regression will be used to understand the variables' relationships and the variables' proportion of variance in students' use of AVBL to support their learning. The results of this study may shed light on potential future plans for AVBL deployment in the classroom.
