This study explores the factors affecting students’ use of ChatGPT in educational settings, with a specific focus on higher education in Vietnam. It applies an extended version of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), which includes mobility and convenience in addition to the traditional concepts of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. The goal is to better understand what encourages students to adopt ChatGPT. A total of 3,550 students participated in a survey, and the data were analyzed using structural equation modeling to examine the relationships between the key factors. The results show that perceived usefulness, mobility, and convenience have strong positive effects on students’ intention to use ChatGPT, while perceived ease of use has a small negative effect. Demographic factors, such as the students’ academic year, also influence adoption patterns. The study highlights the importance of promoting ChatGPT’s practical benefits and ease of access to encourage wider use. It ends with theoretical and practical insights and offers suggestions for future research on the use of AI tools in education.
