碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 交通管理學系碩博士班 === 95 === This study aims to discuss how the perspective and attitude toward using logistics software of students influences their learning motivation in the logistics curriculum. By applying the theory of Technology Acceptance Model and the education theory as learning motivation, the study involved students taking logistic related course at National Cheng-Kung University and National Kaohsiung First University of Science and Technology in Taiwan as investigation subjects. Students completed the questionnaire we designed to capture their perceptions on logistics software’s usefulness, perceptions on its ease of use, subjects’ attitudes toward using the logistics software, and their learning motivation in the logistics course. One-way ANOVA and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data.And an interview was also conducted after the survey. In the analysis, structural equation modeling which was used to verify the hypotheses regarding the relationships among perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude toward using logistics software, and learning motivation. According to the analyzed result, we find that perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of using logistics software has positively significant influence on attitude toward using logistics software, and perceived ease of use has positively significant influence on perceived usefulness. Besides attitude toward using logistics software has a positively significant influence on learning motivation in logistics course. However, the hypothesis that external variables named learning experience positively affects on perceived ease of use and usefulness of using logistics software didn’t be supported. This research also finds that using logistics software can really contribute to students’ learning motivation in the logistics course. When using logistics software in the logistics course, educators can arrange the logistics software with single function for students first, and then go from the easy to the difficult by utilizing logistics software with more complicated function to enable students to simulate the logistics network in the medium and long-term operation conditions.
