Abstract

Open educational resources (OER) have become crucial for university students to explore as a shared digital resource. Although some accomplishments have been made in the research on OER adoption domestically and globally, there are three persistent limitations. It is limited from the perspective of university students, more focused on technology diffusion, university information system, digital library, high-quality course website, online learning, and mobile learning technology. Based on the grounded theory, this study took university students in Jiangxi province, China, as the research object to probe the phenomenon of adoption and use of OER. It preliminarily constructed the model of influencing the use of OERs by university students and initiated the application of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model in a new field. The findings show that perceived value, perceived risk, facilitation conditions, social influence, habit, and hedonic motivation directly influence willingness to use. While facilitating needs and desire to use directly influence user behavior. It provides a new research idea and reference basis for educational management researchers to carry out similar related research in the future.
