Volition explains the transition from desire, or motivation, to action especially when faced with competing goals. In learning environments, the concept refers to acting with the aim of achieving learning objectives. Despite the importance of volition in learning environments, research has rarely addressed the volition construct. Thus, the purpose of this study was to explore and develop a valid and reliable scale to measure the volition construct in online and face to face learning environments. The data for this research were collected from 594 undergraduate online learners who also took some courses face to face at a state university in Turkey. After analyzing the validity and reliability of the scale, a two-factor, 13-item volition for learning scale was developed. The scale was comprised of two factors: action planning and action control. Confirmatory factor analysis results confirm the factor structure of the scale. Results indicated that the volition for learning scale is a valid and reliable instrument that can be utilized to measure learners’ volition in learning environments.

制定和验证量表以衡量学习意愿

意志力解释了从欲望或动机到行动的过渡，尤其是在面对相互竞争的目标时。在学习环境中，该概念是指以实现学习目标为目的的行为。尽管志愿在学习环境中非常重要，但是研究很少涉及志愿构建。因此，本研究的目的是探索和发展一种有效且可靠的量表，以测量在线和面对面学习环境中的意志建构。这项研究的数据来自594名在线本科大学生，他们还在土耳其的国立大学参加了一些面对面的课程。在分析了量表的有效性和可靠性之后，制定了一个由两个因素组成的13项学习量表。量表由两个因素组成：行动计划和行动控制。验证性因素分析结果证实了量表的因素结构。结果表明，学习规模意愿是一种有效而可靠的工具，可以用来衡量学习环境中学习者的意愿。
