To identify the influencing factors on Academic Persistence, we performed pathway model verification based on the Technology Acceptance Model on education subjects who completed the livestock environment education system. The survey participants comprised those who had completed the livestock environment education system. They were requested to respond based on their recent experience in online courses. The survey was conducted between November 10 and 17, 2022, with 1,017 studies used for final analysis. The SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 21.0 programs were used to collect data. The results of this study show that self-efficacy and social characteristics have a positive effect on perceived usefulness and expectancy alignment.
Furthermore, perceived usefulness has a positive effect on academic persistence, and expectancy alignment affects perceived usefulness and academic persistence, also perceived usefulness has a significant positive effect on service satisfaction, but perceived usefulness has no effect on service satisfaction. These results confirm that the consensus of online education expectations and the perceived usefulness of completing education are essential factors in increasing academic persistence. Additionally, in order to enhance the satisfaction of the livestock environment education system and incorporate the results of the IPA to improve the level of educational content and align with expectations, it is necessary to reorganize the educational content from the perspective of the educational stakeholders. Additionally, various methods should be implemented to promote the livestock environment education system. Moreover, in order to achieve academic persistence, it is considered that content reflecting social characteristics should be changed to be consumer-centered content.
