Özet
This study examines the determinants of science teachers' intentions to adopt augmented reality-based gamification through an integrated framework that merges the General Extended Technology Acceptance Model for E-Learning (GETAMEL) with Protection Motivation Theory. The research investigates how cognitive factors, including perceived usefulness and ease of use, interact with motivational constructs such as self-efficacy, anxiety, and perceived threats to influence adoption intentions. Furthermore, the study explores the moderating effect of professional status (pre-service vs. in-service teachers) to identify variations in adoption patterns. A structural equation modeling approach was employed to validate the proposed hypotheses using a diverse sample of 1,634 science teachers. The findings demonstrate that cognitive evaluations, motivational drivers, and social influences jointly shape teachers' …
