Harmanlanmış öğrenme ortamlarının etkililiğinin ölçülmesi için bir ölçek geliştirme çalışması

Bu çalışma, hem yüz yüze hem de e-öğrenme ortamlarının özelliklerinden yola çıkarak harmanlanmış öğrenme ortamlarının ne derece etkili olduğunu belirlemeye yönelik bir ölçek geliştirmek ve bu doğrultuda paydaşlar için öneriler oluşturmak amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ölçek geliştirme sürecinde 314 öğrenciden alınan veriler değerlendirmeye alınmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmaları sonunda bulunan değerler alan yazında belirtilen kabul edilebilir değerler arasında veya üstündedir. Yapılan analizler sonucunda ölçeğin toplam 55 maddeyi içeren dört faktörlü bir yapıdan oluştuğu görülmüştür. Harmanlanmış öğrenme ortamları ölçeğinin ortama ilişkin belirlenen faktörleri ölçebileceği ve yeterli düzeyde geçerlik ve güvenirliğe sahip olduğu söylenebilir. Bu çalışma kapsamında geliştirilen, geçerlik ve güvenirlik analizleri yapılan “Harmanlanmış Öğrenme Ortamlarının Etkililiği Ölçeği”nin, gelecekte harmanlanmış öğrenme yöntemini ele alan çalışmalarda yönlendirici olması beklenmektedir.

A scale development study for assessing the effectiveness of blended learning environments

This study is conducted to develop a scale for assessing the effectiveness of blended learning environments based on the features of both face-to-face and online learning environments and provide suggestions for stakeholders. In the process of scale development, data gathered from 314 students were analyzed. The reliability and validity results for collected data were found to be acceptable since they were between or above the expected value. Based on the analysis it is found that the scale is composed of 55 items having a structure of 4 factors. Hence, it can be concluded that “Effectiveness of Blended Learning Environments Scale” is found as reliable and valid, and can measure what it aims to measure. Blended Learning Environment Scale, which was developed and analyzed for reliability and validity throughout this study, is expected to facilitate the further research studies that focused on blended learning environments.
