In the current globalised educational environment, higher education increasingly relied on educational technology to enhance teaching and learning outcomes. Therefore, exploring the decisive factors influencing the adoption of educational technology was crucial for its successful implementation. This paper employed a systematic review using the PRISMA method to investigate four key dimensions affecting educational technology adoption: Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, and Facilitating Conditions. Through a thorough examination of relevant literature, this review deepened the understanding of the core factors influencing the adoption process. A total of 1,891 studies related to educational technology adoption, published between 2015 and 2024, were initially identified, with 39 studies remaining after careful selection for analysis. The classification analysis revealed that all articles were categorised under the four themes: Performance Expectancy (8 articles), Effort Expectancy (18 articles), Social Influence (5 articles), and Facilitating Conditions (8 articles). This review provided valuable insights for higher education institutions aiming to enhance educational quality through the adoption of advanced educational technologies, and it also made a significant contribution to the existing academic literature. However, the interactions between the four dimensions warrant further exploration.
在当前全球化的教育环境中，高等教育越来越依赖教育技术来提高教学成果。因此，探索影响教育技术采用的决定性因素对于其成功实施至关重要。本文采用PRISMA方法进行系统综述，以研究影响教育技术采用的四个关键维度：绩效期望、努力期望、社会影响和促进条件。通过对相关文献的深入研究，本综述加深了对影响采用过程的核心因素的理解。最初共识别出2015年至2024年间发表的1891项与教育技术采用相关的研究，经过仔细筛选后，最终有39项研究用于分析。分类分析表明，所有文章均归类于四个主题之下：绩效期望（8篇）、努力期望（18篇）、社会影响（5篇）和促进条件（8篇）。本综述为旨在通过采用先进教育技术提高教育质量的高等教育机构提供了有价值的见解，也为现有学术文献做出了重要贡献。然而，这四个维度之间的相互作用仍有待进一步探索。
