Introduction: The achievement of United Nations 4 and 8 in Indonesia requires universities to strengthen both pedagogical competencies and economic independence among prospective physical education teachers through sport-based digital entrepreneurship. However, few studies have studied the factors influencing technology acceptance in microcredential programs for the development of sportpreneurship skills through Learning Management Systems (LMS).
Objective: This study examined the determinants of LMS acceptance using an extended Technology Acceptance and Use Theory (UTAUT2) model with sportpreneurship skills as the outcome variable.
Methodology: Data analysis was performed using PLS-SEM on 491 students of Pedagogi.id microcredential program.
Results The strongest predictor of LMS use behavior was facilitating conditions (β = 0.469; p < 0.001) while hedonic motivation did not have a significant effect on behavioral intention. The model explained 66.4 % of variance in sportpreneurship skills.
Discussion. The results show that in competency-based digital learning, institutional support and system functionality are more important than entertainment value.
Conclusions: Universities should pay attention to the sustainable digital infrastructure and full technical support systems, in order to improve LMS adoption and sportpreneurship competencies of prospective physical education teachers.
The extended UTAUT2 model also provides strong explanatory power for understanding technology-supported sport entrepreneurship learning in higher education contexts.
