This study investigates the attitudes of Refreshment students (active learners aged 60+) towards technology use. A model incorporating perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU), gerontechnology self-efficacy (GTSE), and attitude towards using technology (ATUT) was tested using a survey of 318 participants. Results show PU significantly influences attitudes, with PEOU mediating the PU-attitude relationship. GTSE plays a moderating mediating role. Findings support the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and suggest gerontechnology interventions should focus on improving usefulness, ease of use, and accessibility.
