Abstract

We explored the influencing factors of the usage intention of a metaverse education application platform that directly influence the optimization of its service function, improve the usage intention, and realize the promotion and application of metaverse technology in the education domain. Based on the characteristics of the metaverse education application platform, we integrated the PPM (push–pull–mooring) model and the TAM (technology acceptance model) to construct the model of influencing factors of usage intention. Ultimately, 275 valid questionnaires were collected through expert demonstration, pre-investigation, formal investigation, and other processes. In addition, our paper used the SEM (structural equation model) and fsQCA (fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis) to analyze the influencing factors of user willingness and their configuration paths. The study found that personalized learning, contextualized teaching, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, social needs, and social impact play significant positive roles in the willingness to use the metaverse education platform. Meanwhile, the obtained findings show that the experience-led community-driven mode, personality-led community-driven mode, and social-led utility-driven mode serve as potential guidelines for usage intention enhancement.
