Predicting the power of informal learning opportunities on technology use of physical education teachers.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study investigates the factors influencing the acceptance of digital technologies among physical education (PE) teachers, aiming to support the integration of contemporary digital tools into movement-based learning. Drawing on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), the research explores how contextual and personal factors shape teachers' willingness and ability to use digital technologies in their professional practice.

Methods

A quantitative survey was conducted with 239 physical education teachers. The collected data were analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM) to identify relationships among the UTAUT constructs and additional variables, including formal and informal learning opportunities, age, and gender.
