Specifically, this study focused on to illuminate influential prompts on learner’s acceptance as well as on to launch a theory-based model related to the prompts. For data analysis, we used skills from grounded theory methodology. The data was gathered through interviews with high school students in South Korea. As a result, we found core prompts in terms of use of smartphones for educational purpose. Then we laid on the prompts on the extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). We found that self-directed learning readiness was an influential factor in the acceptance of educational applications. ER -
