Abstract

This research aims to determine the factors affecting the e-learning continuance intention of adult learners by testing the model established by combining the variables frequently found in the literature and the factors influencing adult education. Convenience sampling, a non-random sampling method, was used; 372 graduate students of non-thesis programs from a state university in Türkiye constituted the sample. The model, tested with R, revealed that usability, outcome expectations, perceived value, confirmation, and satisfaction all have similar positive effects on continuance intention and predicts 69 percent. Usability and outcome expectation account for 68 and 69 percent of the explanation for confirmation and satisfaction, respectively. In consideration of the existing limitations, it is notable that the tested model differs from the existing literature in in some major aspects. Confirmation has no effect on satisfaction, while perceived value has a positive effect only on continuance intention.
