Development and validation of the Online Learning Self-efficacy Scale (OLSS): A structural equation modeling approach

Exploring the impacts of learning modality changes: Validation of the learning modality change community of inquiry and self-efficacy scales

“…All 11 items loaded as we originally conceptualized, with all loadings greater than 0.45 as presented in Table 4 . Items aligned well with the original subscales of the OLSS (Sun & Rogers, 2021 ). The new, shorter version of the scale that resulted from this study demonstrated favorable construct validity and internal reliability in measuring health professions students’ online learning self-efficacy after a shift in learning modalities.…”

“…To assess perceived self-efficacy, 12 items were adopted from two existing self-efficacy scales. The 31-item Online Learning Self-Efficacy Survey (OLSS) is a reliable and valid tool to measure students’ preparedness, concerns, and learning needs for online learning as reflected by their self-efficacy, with an overall reliability of 0.95 (Sun & Rogers, 2021 ). Ten items from the OLSS were adapted for the present study (3 items from online learning task self-efficacy, 3 items from instructor and peer interaction and communication self-efficacy, and 4 items from self-regulation and motivation efficacy).…”

The Effect of Distance Education on Self-efficacy towards Online Technologies and Motivation for Online Learning

“…The perception of self-efficacy, which is related to learning and performance in distance education, is generally associated with achievement, persistence and effort in educational environments (Horzum & Çakır, 2009). © 2022, Journal of Learning and Teaching in Digital Age , 7(1), 108-115 Online learning activities require a high level of digital literacy and knowledge and skills to use various digital technologies necessary for interaction and communication in online learning environments (Sun & Rogers, 2021). Learners should be able to use online technologies comprehensively to participate in online learning, including how to use the internet, sending and receiving emails, participating in online discussions, accessing course materials, and returning homework (Lee, 2015;Wang et al, 2013).…”

“…Learners should be able to use online technologies comprehensively to participate in online learning, including how to use the internet, sending and receiving emails, participating in online discussions, accessing course materials, and returning homework (Lee, 2015;Wang et al, 2013). Students' self-efficacy beliefs regarding their online learning capacities are an important part of their online learning competencies (Sun & Rogers, 2021).…”

“…Self-efficacy is important for learning environments. Since deficiencies in knowledge and skills will hinder online learning, students' online learning self-efficacy is a critical element in measuring student readiness for online learning (Sun & Rogers, 2021). Alqurashi (2016) examined the studies on self-efficacy in online learning environments from 1997 to 2015 and emphasized the need for further research on self-efficacy in online learning environments.…”
