Understanding Chinese Teachers' Informal Online Learning Continuance in a Mobile Learning Community: An Intrinsic-Extrinsic Motivation Perspective

While extensive studies on informal online learning have been well documented to afford teachers' collaborative learning and knowledge sharing, little is still known about their motivational factors regarding the continuance intention of informal online learning. To this end, an extended expectation confirmation model (ECM) was proposed including intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. The proposed research model and several hypotheses were empirically evaluated using questionnaire surveys with the valid data collected from 231 Chinese in-service teachers in the shared mobile learning community. The results consolidate the appropriateness of the extended ECM to explain teachers' informal online learning continuance. Specifically, satisfaction is the major determinant of continuance intention, followed by perceived usefulness and intrinsic motivation. In addition, extrinsic motivation positively predicts perceived usefulness and confirmation. The results of this study provide some theoretical and practical implications into in-service teachers' continuance intention of informal online learning.
