This study investigates the factors influencing Chinese pre-service teachers' intention and behavior in adopting a VR training system. Using the extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) model and a sample of 278 pre-service teachers, partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) reveals that behavioral intention is positively influenced by self-efficacy, effort expectancy, social influence, performance expectancy, facilitating conditions, and hedonic motivation. Use behavior is positively impacted by behavioral intention, facilitating conditions, and habit. The study offers suggestions for higher education institutions and VR system developers on improving VR training systems in pre-service teacher education.
