ABSTRACT

This study aims to develop an attitude scale towards distance learning and conduct a validity and reliability study for it. The study uses two study groups. The first group comprises 384 university students conducting exploratory factor analysis, and the second comprises 305 students conducting confirmatory factor analysis. The analysis resulted in a 16 item, four-factor structure with factor loading values all between 0.45 and 0.94. This structure makes up for 54.4% of the total variance. The factors were named usefulness, communication, preference for distance learning, and preference for face to face learning. The confirmatory factor analysis results show that this model displays decent coherence. The reliability studies show that internal consistency coefficients are values all between 0.67 and 0.84. It was also discovered that the scale dimensions display no difference with regard to gender. These results show that this scale is a valid and reliable tool.

摘要

本研究旨在制定一个对远程学习的态度量表，并对其进行效度和信度研究。该研究使用两个研究组。第一组包括 384 名大学生进行探索性因素分析，第二组包括 305 名学生进行验证性因素分析。分析产生了一个 16 项、四因子结构，因子载荷值都在 0.45 和 0.94 之间。这种结构占总方差的 54.4%。这些因素被命名为有用性、交流、对远程学习的偏好和对面对面学习的偏好。验证性因子分析结果表明，该模型显示出良好的连贯性。可靠性研究表明，内部一致性系数的值都在 0.67 和 0.84 之间。还发现，尺度维度在性别方面没有差异。这些结果表明，该量表是一种有效且可靠的工具。
