摘要

Abstract

With the rapid development of AI music generation technology

its application potential in music education is increasingly prominent. However

the acceptance level of this emerging technology by primary and secondary school music teachers and its influencing factors remain unclear. This study

based on the Unified Model of Technology Acceptance and Use (UTAUT)

introduces aesthetic conservatism and technological anxiety as extended variables

collects 227 valid samples through questionnaire surveys

and conducts data analysis using stratified regression and structural equation modeling to explore the acceptance of AI music generation technology by primary and secondary school music teachers and its influencing mechanism. The research results show that performance expectations

social influence

and facilitating conditions have a positive impact on the intention to use

while effort expectations have a negative impact on the intention to use; aesthetic conservatism negatively moderates the relationship between performance expectations and the intention to use; technological anxiety negatively affects the intention to use directly and also indirectly reduces the intention through negatively influencing effort expectations. The model explains 46.2% of the variance in the intention to use. This study expands the application boundary of the UTAUT model in art education

reveals the key role of aesthetic conservatism and technological anxiety in the technology acceptance of music teachers

and provides practical suggestions for educational administrative departments

school managers

and AI education product developers to enhance teachers' acceptance.
