Student Experiential E-Learning in Higher Learning Institutions

Abstract

The main objectives of this research are to develop the items of students’ experiential e-learning scale, to verify and construct validate the psychometric properties of students’ experiential e-learning measurement model. The study also aimed to investigate the experiential e-learning of students in higher learning institutions in Malaysia. This research is quantitative in nature employing the cross-sectional survey design. The Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing will be adapted in the development of the instrument. Content validity ratio (CVR) and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) will be used to analyze the corresponding items of experiential e-learning constructs. The psychometric properties of experiential e-learning measurement model will be empirically tested via Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). This will be accompanied by a descriptive study to explore the students’ experiential e-learning. Exploration of students’ experiential e-learning in higher learning institutions can provide further insights into what works in an open online environment. This research will produce an adequate measurement model and a psychometrically sound instrument of students’ experiential e-learning as well as the publications and intellectual properties (IP).
