| Summary: | <p>Based on the Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education, search attempted to put</p><p>forth a theoretical framework that might facilitate the</p><p>manifestation of online learning. The central problem that was the focus of the research was to</p><p>determine whether undergraduate students in Sultan Idris University of Education (UPSI) are</p><p>aware of the Seven Principles and subsequently its implications. A sample of 397</p><p>participants was successfully obtained. Findings indicated that student awareness of the Seven</p><p>Principles was independent or not related to variables such as the number of semesters they had</p><p>experienced online learning and faculty affiliation. Additionally, the utilization level of</p><p>communicative technology such as telephone and text messaging (SMS), email, forum, and online</p><p>resources such as materials by teaching staff was also independent or not related to the variable</p><p>of student awareness. A test using One-way between groups ANOVA revealed significant differences</p><p>between student perception towards the effectiveness of instructional strategies for online</p><p>learning among fifth. sixth and seventh semester students. A post-hoc analyses using Tukey's</p><p>HSD indicated that the average perception among students was higher for seventh semester</p><p>students, followed by sixth and fifth semester students. A second test using One-way between</p><p>groups ANOV A revealed significant differences between the perception of students from different</p><p>faculties. A post-hoc analyses using Tu.key's HSD indicated that the average perception of</p><p>students' from the Language Faculty was highest, followed by students from the Information</p><p>Technology and Communication Faculty, . Science and Technology Faculty, Social Science and</p><p>Humanities Faculty and, Cognitive Sciences and Human Development Faculty. Lastly, an</p><p>exploratory factor analysis was conducted. This was to verify the validity of the intangible</p><p>constructs that constitute the theoretical framework that if used as instructional strategies,</p><p>might facilitate the manifestation of online learning. Findings revealed that there are indeed</p><p>Seven Principles with all of them having eigenvalues greater than 1. Further analysis of the</p><p>rotated component matrix revealed that of the 34 items used, 23 were pure variables, while the</p><p>remaining 11 were complex variables.</p><p></p> |
