Abstract: A broad look at modern digital learning shows that the effect of incorporating technology into learning is the improvement of learning efficiency and ensuring learning results. However, the main factor that influences the results of digital learning is the way teachers and students use this resource, and not the technology itself. This study used Davis et al.¡¦s Technology Acceptance Model as its framework, and incorporated learning motivation, system characteristics, and material characteristics as its external variables, and used mind mapping to conduct a teaching experiment in an economics class. Results showed that ¡§material characteristics¡¨ and ¡§learning motivation¡¨ and ¡§perceived usefulness¡¨ and ¡§perceived ease of use¡¨ in the Technology Acceptance Model positively influenced learners¡¦ ¡§using attitudes¡¨ and ¡§learning effectiveness.¡¨ Therefore, the more diversity in the contents and design of materials and the more positive the learning attitudes o!
f learners, students will have more positive attitudes based on their perceived usefulness of the cognitive knowledge technology of Mind Mapping and thus improve their learning efficiency levels. Based on the findings, its implications and limitations are discussed.
Keywords: Technology Acceptance Model, Mind mapping, Material characteristics, Learning motivation, Learning effectiveness
