Abstract

This study examines the essential factors that significantly impact the behavioral intention of hybrid education among animation undergraduate students from three public universities in Chengdu of China. The researchers conducted the quantitative research methodology with 500 samples and distributed the questionnaire online and offline to the target respondents. The multistage sampling technique was executed and constructed using judgmental sampling and stratified random sampling to gather data. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Model (SEM) were utilized for statistical analysis, including the goodness of model fits, validity and reliability for each construct’s examination and hypotheses test. The results have been proven to accomplish research objectives and revealed that all variables have a significant impact among its pairs in which attitude towards use presented the strongest most influence on behavioral intention. Therefore, office of academic affairs of public universities is recommended to evaluate the essential influencers for the current hybrid education implementation pattern to strengthen students’ acceptance and learning achievements.
