Effects of training method and computer anxiety on learning performance and self-efficacy

摘要

The present study compared the effects of training method and computer anxiety on learners' computer self-efficacy and learning performance. The study results indicated that the behavior-modeling training method yielded consistently superior performance and higher computer self-efficacy. The significant two-way interaction confirmed the importance of person–situation adaptation. In addition, the adaptation is task dependent. Findings of the study contribute to an expanded understanding of the factors that influence learning performance and self-efficacy and also have important implications for the management of information systems. Future research directions conclude the paper.
