The Extent to Which Students Have Sufficient Awareness of E-Learning and its Relation to Self-Studying and Academic Achievement

Abstract

Rapid development of information and communication technologies poses education to improve the quality of the educational process. And today the main focus in the current learning process is shifting toward the model of e-learning, to which aim mainly to provide students with convenient and round-the-clock access to educational materials, this open access valuable and available e-learning models provides an improved modern learning model that improve the educational process. This study aims to investigate the student's awareness of e-learning and how it is related to self studying and academic achievement. A well-designed online questionnaire developed and used to collect primary data and the statistical analysis has been applied to get the results. The result revealed that the sample students' have high awareness towards e-learning in the University of Jordan and using e-learning significantly affected their self-studying behavior and academic achievement.

Exploring Factors Affecting Graduate Students’ Satisfaction toward E-Learning in the Era of the COVID-19 Crisis

“…The questionnaire used in the current study consisted of eight sections: the first section measured the demographic data of the participants, and the other seven measured students’ satisfaction, system quality, three student factors, instructors’ performance quality, and course evaluation. Fifty-four items are shown in ( Table S1 ), and they were adopted from four previous studies [ 20 , 24 , 65 , 84 ]. All the constructed items were answered using a five-point Likert scale (5 = strongly agree, 4 = agree, 3 = uncertain, 2 = disagree, and 1 = strongly disagree).…”

“…All the constructed items were answered using a five-point Likert scale (5 = strongly agree, 4 = agree, 3 = uncertain, 2 = disagree, and 1 = strongly disagree). The internal consistency of these constructs was satisfactory as reported in the previous studies: student–instructor interaction (five items; alpha = 0.737; [ 84 ]), instructor performance quality (four items; alpha = 0.882; [ 84 ]), course evaluation (six items; alpha = 0.882; [ 84 ], social presence (12 items; alpha = 0.94; [ 65 ]), system quality (four items; alpha = 0.680; [ 20 ]), students’ awareness toward using e-learning in the educational process (16 items; alpha = 0.70; [ 24 ]), and students’ satisfaction (seven items; alpha = 0.89; [ 65 ]). In addition to the previous studies which developed and evaluated these instruments [ 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 ], the current study used advanced analyses to evaluate the psychometric properties of these instruments for each respective factor.…”

“…Recently, Pham et al [ 23 ] showed that e-learning system quality, course and instructor quality, and e-learning administrative and support service quality positively affect university students’ satisfaction and commitment to e-learning. Students’ self-studying behavior and academic achievement were positively influenced by their awareness of the e-learning system [ 24 , 25 ]. The flexibility of e-learning [ 26 ] and social presence are other influential factors for student satisfaction.…”

Factors Affecting the Deployment of Learning Analytics in Developing Countries: Case of Egypt

“…All the items of each construct and their corresponding loading are presented in appendix A. [23], [25] Q13 University Ability (UA) 3/5 [22], [26], [27] Q14 Data Governance (DG) 5/6 [22], [24], [29], [28], [30] Q15 Technological Infrastructure (TI) 3/3 [22], [31] Q16 Learning Analytics Awareness (LAW) 5/5 [24], [28], [36], [37] Q17 Learning Analytics impact (LAI) 7/8 [24], [39]…”

“…It refers to the level of understanding of learning analytics among stakeholders and the realization of the advantages and usage of learning analytics [28], [24]. Although raising awareness is vital for increasing technology adoption, it is sometimes overlooked as a component in adoption [36], [37]. It is suggested that individuals with high technology awareness may perceive technological impact positively [38].…”
