“… 58 The principal components analysis using the varimax rotation method to explore the factorial structure of the teachers’ academic knowledge scale was based on the criterion (eigenvalue>1). 59 From the 7 initial indicators the procedure of reduction. That is, the questionnaire on the nature or origin of academic knowledge of teachers of basic general education represents a robust and valid framework to understand certain notions of implicit theories and the role of experiences as the basis and support of academic knowledge.…”

Background: The concern and analysis about the knowledge possessed by teachers of basic general education persists in academic debate and professional practice. It is noteworthy that in the studies consulted, there is no precise evidence that determines with accuracy the configurations of these knowledge factors that function as the basis of the teaching profession. Therefore, the objective of this study is to establish the construct validity and reliability of the questionnaire on the nature or origin of the academic knowledge of teachers of basic general education, adapted from the Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) Competence Model. Methods: A methodological study was established that applies a test to the processes of reliability and internal consistency. The construct validity was performed through (n = 8) expert judges, using Cohen's Kappa. An exploratory factor analysis was performed following the criteria of the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Coefficient (KMO), the Bartlett sphericity test and the principal components extraction method in the factor analysis with varimax rotation. The sample consisted of (n = 27) teachers of basic general education of the Ibarra Canton. Results: The results show a reliability analysis for the instrument obtained a Cronbach’s alpha (α = 0.901), estimated to be an excellent level. Conclusions: The questionnaire is relevant, valid and reliable, adapting to the needs of teachers of basic general education to determine the nature or origin of the academic knowledge in a fast and reliable manner.

“…Readiness refers to the mindset of students who are wellprepared to engage in activities with full awareness in order to achieve outcomes that result in changes in their comprehension of subject matter, as well as their abilities to apply that information, understanding, skills, habits, values, and attitudes (Shakeel et al, 2023). The study conducted by Yasin et al (2020) indicate that increasing the average levels of technical access and technical usage self-efficacy will also increase the average levels of online communication selfefficacy, attitude, and online media, leading to an increase in the average level of readiness.…”

Blended learning has become increasingly popular in recent years as a form of education that combines both online and traditional in-person learning. This approach allows for a more flexible and personalized learning experience, as students can work on online materials at their own pace while still having access to face-to-face interactions with instructors and peers. However, the effectiveness of blended learning in terms of student engagement and learning outcomes is still a topic of debate.

“…By administering this instrument to multiple student samples, the researchers validated the scale and highlighted its reliability across various academic achievement levels. Shakeel et al (2023) narrowed the scope of their study by focusing on the context of Technical and Vocational Education and Training in Bangladesh. The study aimed to develop and validate a scale for assessing suitability for blended learning in collaboration with educators and librarians.…”

The importance of understanding student attitudes has become paramount in the successful deployment of blended learning. This study aimed to examine the factorial structure of a scale designed to assess university students' attitudes towards blended learning. Using a descriptive quantitative research approach, the study included a sample of 889 male and female students from the University of Tabuk, located in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The participants were selected randomly from different academic majors and levels of study. The instrument employed in this study was the Blended Learning Attitudes Scale, a tool designed by the researcher and subjected to rigorous validation procedures. The researcher utilised exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses to understand the latent variables the scale represented comprehensively. The study's findings indicated the presence of a three-factor model, encompassing participants' perceptions of the nature of blended learning, its perceived importance, and their willingness to utilise it. The combined influence of these three factors accounted for 64% of the observed variance. The scale had noteworthy psychometric features, as evidenced by its high-reliability coefficients and robust validity indicators. This study presents a reliable instrument that educators and researchers may utilise to assess university students' attitudes towards blended learning.
