自我效能對農民使用農業資訊系統影響之探討-以農業產銷經營管理系統為例

Abstract

本研究主要探討在訓練情境下，受訓農民的電腦能力、自我效能、選擇測驗難度、表現成就及未來使用系統意願之關係，並希望能找出可預測學員未來使用系統意願之主要影響因素。本研究採用問卷調查之方式，針對23位參與「農業產銷經營管理系統FMIS 5.01版進階訓練班」之農民學員進行檢測。 研究結果發現，農民的電腦自我效能和FMIS系統使用自我效能有顯著相關；農民之電腦能力可預測其電腦自我效能及FMIS自我效能，而電腦自我效能及FMIS自我效能則可預測農民自我選擇測驗難度，然而儘管如此，不論是電腦能力或自我效能皆無法預測學員之表現成就。此外，由訓練前之FMIS自我效能預測其訓練後之FMIS自我效能，而在影響農民未來使用系統意願上，則只有系統有用性具有預測性。 根據文獻分析與研究結果，建議未來在成人教學方面，訓練人員與講師應瞭解學員之學習需求並協助建立自信心；在訓練實施方面，應適時給予學員鼓勵、回饋以及充分且必要的練習；而在農業資訊推廣方面，也應給予完整的農業資訊系統相關認知及操作概念，定時舉辦回訓，並獲得上級單位的支持。

This study attempts to analyze the relations among farmers’ computer ability, self-efficacy, task difficulty, performance, and intention to use system in training environment. A total of 23 farmers were enrolled in the 「Farming Management Information System (FMIS) ver5.01」training course. Findings of the study show that farmers’ ability to perform computer skills has significant effects on their computer self-efficacy and FMIS self-efficacy; and their computer self-efficacy and FMIS self-efficacy have significant effects on their perceived task difficulty, whereas their computer ability and self-efficacy have no effects on performance. Besides, training can improve farmers’ FMIS self-efficacy. Moreover, only farmers’ perceived usefulness of FMIS has significant effects on their intention to use system. Results of the study suggest that trainers should understand trainees’ learning needs and help them to be more confident; give trainees encouragements, feedbacks, abundant opportunities to practice, and integrated understanding of both concepts and operation skills.
