  • The development of science and technology is becoming more and more rapid, and the educational empowerment of in-formation technology (IT) in middle schools is becoming more and more obvious. The interesting and operational aspectsof IT are suitable for middle school students, who are gradually becoming more rational in their thinking and problem-solving skills, and who are curious to discovering new things. This paper analyses the factors influencing the acceptanceof IT education among middle school students by reviewing a large amount of literature and compiling technology-relatedtheories. The research variables are determined by combining the characteristics of middle school students, and a struc-tural equation model is constructed to select the factors influencing the acceptance of technology in secondary school ITclassrooms, and the hypothesis is proposed, tested and revised, and then the scientific and effective measures are proposedaccording to the model. By the statistical analysis of variables, it can be seen that the average values of perceived ease ofuse and social influence (SI) are relatively high, which are 3.9899 and 4.1933, respectively, indicating that SI and subjectiveinitiative have significant positive correlations with the behavioural intentions of middle school students in learning IT. Astechnological literacy is low, with an average value of only 3.4966, the influence of the technological literacy of IT onmiddle school students’ learning ability is not significant. This reflects the degree of middle school students’ mastery ofthe knowledge of IT, which is not enough. Further, the initiative of learning in the network is low and the needs of teachersin IT classes indirectly affect students’ learning initiative. It is hoped middle school students learn IT through the networkby their initiative and provide guidance for teachers in teaching, to promote the application and deep popularity of IT insecondary school education
