ABSTRACT

This study investigates the impact of perceived usefulness on learners’ intention to persist in a microlearning environment, emphasizing the mediating role of learning engagement and the moderating effect of learning presence. Microlearning—characterized by the delivery of concise, focused content—is increasingly adopted in learner-centered and competency-based educational settings, particularly within health sciences. Data were collected from 168 Emergency Medical Technology and health care provider students enrolled in a Korean junior college with prior online learning experience. Employing validated instruments, the study measured perceived usefulness, three dimensions of learning engagement (behavioral, emotional, cognitive), learning presence (cognitive, social, affective), and learning persistence intention. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that perceived usefulness significantly predicted both learning engagement (β = .635, p < .001) and learning persistence intention (β = .746, p < .001). Moreover, learning engagement fully mediated the relationship between perceived usefulness and persistence intention (β = .675, p < .001). Additionally, learning presence was found to moderate the effect of perceived usefulness on engagement (β = .061, p < .05). These findings underscore the importance of designing microlearning experiences that not only emphasize the perceived utility of content but also foster learner engagement and a sense of presence to sustain long-term learning commitment.
