Bridging the Gap: Mindfulness as a Catalyst for Successful E-Learning Adoption: A Literature Review

https://doi.org/10.31674/ijrtbt.2024.v08i02.005Abstract
As technology advances, individuals have more significant opportunities to apply innovative technologies at work and in their daily lives, and education is no exception. As technology becomes an essential part of education, higher education institutions face challenges in integrating technology into the instructional and educational experience. As e-learning facilitates greater convenience, flexibility, and self-paced learning, existing models for predicting individual adoption of online education may be inadequate. Considering the continually evolving and pervasive developments in technology-based learning, the present study aims to analyze and expand the existing technology adoption theories. This article proposes a conceptual framework to highlight the role of mindfulness in making informed decisions about technology-based learning, as well as to integrate the notion into existing adoption theory. The expanded TAM is expected to outperform the original TAM in explaining actual behavior in online learning.
