Abstract

Background and Aim: Information technology skills are crucial for teachers and students. Strengthening the support of technology in the history of art or the history of design courses can enhance teaching quality, foster students' comprehensive artistic literacy and innovation ability, and advance the development and progress of art education. With the continuous progress and development of technology, it is increasingly important in the education of art and design history, providing students with a broader understanding of the subject. This research not only investigates students' intention to use B-station, a video website, to learn the history of art or the history of design but also provides practical insights into the role of technology integration in learning art and design history, which can be applied in the classroom setting.

Materials and Methods: To ensure the reliability of the study, a questionnaire was distributed to College of Fine Arts students at a university in China, resulting in 506 valid responses. The quantitative data were then analyzed using JAMOVI2.4.6. To measure the internal consistency of the questionnaire, Cronbach's α and McDonald's ω were used. Factor analysis was performed using EFA and CFA, and hypothesis testing was conducted using SEM, further enhancing the robustness of the study's findings.

Results: The research proposed ten alternative hypotheses. The results indicated that eight hypotheses were accepted, and two were rejected. It was found that ACL, as a mediator variable, cannot enhance the impact of LII on ILB. Similarly, PBC, as a mediating variable, cannot enhance the impact of AL on ILB.

Conclusion: The survey questionnaire employed in this study was adapted from willingness scales used in other countries. Unlike previous studies, the findings imply that ACL and PBC did not have a significant mediating effect. This may be attributed to differences in research subjects and environments. This study helps study Chinese students' learning habits, preferences, and teaching styles.
