چکیده

با وجود اهمیت شبکه­ های اجتماعی مجازی در بهبود کیفیت یادگیری، استفاده آموزشی دانشجویان از این شبکه­ ها در سطح چندان مطلوبی نیست. با توجه به اهمیت مسئله، این پژوهش توصیفی- همبستگی با هدف بررسی عوامل مؤثر بر استفاده دانشجویان رشته های کشاورزی از شبکه‌های اجتماعی مجازی بر مبنای مدل پذیرش فناوری انجام گرفت. جامعه آماری این پژوهش شامل تمامی دانشجویان رشته­ های کشاورزی دانشگاه زنجان بود (1227=N). بر اساس جدول کرجسی-مورگان، تعداد 296 نفر از دانشجویان با استفاده روش نمونه‌گیری طبقه‌ای با انتساب متناسب برای انجام تحقیق انتخاب شد. ابزار گردآوری داده‌ها در این پژوهش، پرسشنامه بود که روایی صوری آن با نظر پانلی از متخصصان تأیید شد و روایی سازه و پایایی ترکیبی آن نیز با برآورد مدل اندازه ­گیری به دست آمد. نتایج نشان داد که "ارسال تکالیف و فعالیت­ های کلاسی"، "دستیابی به آخرین اطلاعات و خبرها در خصوص مسائل درسی" و "اطلاع­ رسانی به سایر دانشجویان در زمینه­ های مختلف درسی"، اصلی ­ترین موارد استفاده دانشجویان مورد مطالعه از شبکه‌های اجتماعی مجازی بودند. همچنین، چهار متغیر جذابیت ادراک­ شده، لذت ادراک ­شده، خودکارآمدی ادراک ­شده و اضطراب ادراک ­شده 72 درصد از واریانس متغیر سهولت ادراک ­شده و دو متغیر سودمندی ادراک ­شده و سهولت ادراک ­شده 67 درصد از واریانس متغیر نگرش را تبیین کردند. به طور مشابه، متغیر نگرش نیز 45 درصد از واریانس میزان استفاده دانشجویان از شبکه­ های اجتماعی مجازی را تبیین کرد. با توجه به یافته­ ها، پیشنهادهای اصلی این پژوهش شامل برگزاری جلسات توجیهی، سمینارها و کارگاه ­های آموزشی برای آشناسازی دانشجویان با نحوه استفاده از شبکه ­های اجتماعی مجازی، پشتیبانی و ارائه خدمات فنی مناسب به دانشجویان، استفاده از رسانه­ های چاپی برای آگاهی رسانی به دانشجویان درباره امکانات و قابلیت ­های شبکه­ های اجتماعی مختلف، استفاده از شبکه های اجتماعی شناخته شده برای فعالیت­ های آموزشی و افزایش سواد اطلاعاتی و رسانه­ ای دانشجویان، بودند.

چکیده [English]

Despite the importance of virtual social networks (VSNs) in improving the quality of learning, students' educational use of these networks is not very desirable. Given the importance of the issue, this descriptive-correlational study was conducted to investigate the factors affecting the use of VSNs by agricultural students based on the technology acceptance model. The statistical population of the study was included all agricultural students of University of Zanjan (N = 1227). Based on Krejcie-Morgan table, 296 of the students were selected for the study using stratified sampling method with proportional assignment. The data collection tool in this study was a questionnaire whose face validity was confirmed by a panel of experts and its construct validity and composite reliability were obtained by estimating the measurement model. The results showed that "sending homework and classroom activities", "access to the latest information and news about educational issues", and "informing other students in different educational fields" were the main uses of VSNs by the surveyed students. Moreover, four variables of perceived playfulness, perceived enjoyment, perceived self-efficacy, and perceived anxiety were accounted for 72 percent of the variance of the perceived ease and two variables of perceived usefulness and perceived ease were accounted for 67 percent of the variance of attitude. Similarly, the attitude was explained 45 percent of the variance of students' use of VSNs. According to the findings, the main suggestions of the study were included holding briefings, seminars and workshops to familiarize students with how to use VSNs, supporting and providing appropriate technical services to students, employingprint media to inform students about the facilities and capabilities of different VSNs, applying known VSNs for educational activities, and increasing students' information and media literacy.
