With the popularization and application of Building Information Modeling (BIM), the demand for BIM technical talents in the construction industry is increasing. Exploring college students' BIM technical learning behavior is of great practical significance to improve education activities. Based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), this research adds learning attitude variables to construct a theoretical model of influencing factors of college students' BIM technology learning behavior. Chinese undergraduate students were asked to complete online questionnaires through peer-to-peer contact with sample colleges and universities. Finally, 1090 valid questionnaires were obtained. The students were sampled from research-oriented, applied research-oriented, application-oriented, and private research-oriented universities in seven regions of China: northeast, north, east, south, central, northwest, and southwest. The structural equation model was used to analyze the sampling data. The results indicate that college students' BIM learning attitude, performance expectations, and social influence positively and directly impact their learning intention, which indirectly impacts their learning behavior. At the same time, promoting factors and learning intention demonstrate a significant positive and direct impact on learning behavior. Therefore, the following suggestions have been put forward to enhance college students' learning motivation for BIM technology: increase the popularization of BIM technology in colleges and universities and improve the operation level of full-time BIM teachers. The latter enables colleges and universities to continuously and stably export qualified BIM technical talents to society and the market, resulting in a continuous industry development cycle.
随着建筑信息模型（BIM）的普及与应用，建筑行业对BIM技术人才的需求日益增长。探究大学生的BIM技术学习行为对于改进教育活动具有重要的现实意义。基于技术接受与使用统一理论（UTAUT），本研究增加了学习态度变量，构建了大学生BIM技术学习行为影响因素的理论模型。通过与样本高校的点对点联系，邀请中国本科生完成在线问卷。最终获得1090份有效问卷。这些学生来自中国东北、华北、华东、华南、华中、西北和西南七个地区的研究型、应用研究型、应用型和民办研究型大学。采用结构方程模型对抽样数据进行分析。结果表明，大学生的BIM学习态度、绩效期望和社会影响对其学习意愿产生积极直接影响，进而间接影响其学习行为。同时，促进因素与学习意愿对学习行为呈现显著的正向直接影响。因此，为提高大学生对BIM技术的学习积极性，提出以下建议：加大BIM技术在高校的普及力度，提高专职BIM教师的业务水平。后者能使高校持续稳定地向社会和市场输送合格的BIM技术人才，形成产业持续发展的循环。
