Abstract

Schools and universities insisted on using live instructions and synchronous learning for the main strategy of learning during the global crisis. For this reason, it may be critical to investigate the students’ use and acceptance of live instruction behaviors to see if they use it or not. The purpose of this research is to investigate the factors affecting undergraduate students’ acceptance and use of learning in live instructions during the global crisis in Turkey within the context of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology Model (UTAUT). This model examined whether students’ gender, grade, experience, and major moderated BI and use live interaction. PE and SI were the primary determinants of BI. However, EE and FC had no effect on live instruction acceptance. Students’ lack of knowledge or confidence in the live instruction environment may influence effort expectancy and facilitating conditions.
