RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Adopción de software de código abierto entre los estudiantes universitarios de países emergentes A1 Patiño-Toro, O. A1 Valencia-Arias, A. A1 Gómez Molina, S. A1 Bermeo-Giraldo, C. AB Open-source software (OSS) has become a valuable resource for corporate, educational, and social processes, reducing digital divides in emerging countries. This paper proposes an open-source software acceptance model (OSS-AM) to examine determinants of OSS adoption among students in emerging economies. A quantitative methodology with a descriptive correlational approach was employed, collecting data from a representative sample of 504 students. Confirmatory factor analysis showed strong associations between attitude towards use and variables such as compatibility, quality, flexibility, and security. This study reveals that skill development through practical education, perceived usefulness, training, and compatibility are the most influential factors in students’ adoption of OSS PB IEEE YR 2022 FD 2022 LK http://riull.ull.es/xmlui/handle/915/27356 UL http://riull.ull.es/xmlui/handle/915/27356 LA es NO O.
