Abstract
The aim of this research is to present the extended casual model of behavioral Intention to web based learning with emphasis on the role of learning goal orientation and self-regulated learning.
The population consisted of all students of Fars PNU in academic year 93-94. The sample was 328 students those selected by using categorical random sampling method.
In this research five measuring instruments were used that including; Chatzoglou et al (2009) learning goal orientation, intention to use web based learning from saremineu (2009), perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use from god abdel (2008), attitude to use web based learning From shin (2007), self - regulation Learning in web based learning and online learning from Barnard et al (2008). All of these questionnaires are prepared in five point Likert Scale from strongly disagree to strongly agree.
The results showed that the conceptual model of the research, confirmed according to model fit indices. Also, learning goal orientation has an indirect significant impact on intention of web based learning via perception of ease and usefulness, and attitude toward web based learning.
In addition, self - regulated learning have direct and indirect significant influence on intention to use web based learning via mediator role of perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and attitude toward web based learning. Also perceived ease of use has a direct and indirect influence on intention to use web based learning via mediator role of perceived usefulness and attitude toward web based learning.
