碩士 === 中原大學 === 資訊管理研究所 === 103 === Under the booming development of information technology, software and hardware utilizing the internet environment has gradually improved, Internet and virtual community applications are maturing. Because of information security policies, military networks are physically isolated and not linked to the internet. Students in this enclosed learning environment have restricted internet access to knowledge, resulting in inability to retain knowledge and experience. Since most young people today rely on virtual communities, if virtual communities are established on knowledge sharing site within the enclosed teaching environment, enabling students to share their knowledge, whether students’ willingness to learn will increase is worth investigating in this study. This study intends to use a “technology acceptance model” to explore students’ knowledge sharing behavior in a virtual community, and the impact on willingness to learn. The results of this study show that website quality has a positive impact on perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. There are no significant differences between perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. Perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use have significant effects on attitude towards knowledge sharing. Knowledge sharing attitude has significant and positive impacts on knowledge sharing intentions. Knowledge sharing intentions also have significant and positive impacts on willingness to learn. Study results prove that knowledge sharing within a virtual community in an enclosed learning environment have the same result as the open learning environment on the general internet, indicating that within an enclosed learning environment, although connecting and asking questions at any time is impossible or that learning must be done within a military network environment because of space limitations, as long as the student has positive learning attitude and intentions, their willingness to learn will be enhanced.
