| Summary: | The study aims to develop and evaluate an independent learning model for social learning platform. The quantitative method is used in this study. The data is obtained through the instrument of connectivism theory and Facebook usage. The subjects of this study were 81 students of Two-Years Programme in one of the matriculation colleges in Malaysia. These respondents were selected based on purposive sampling. The statistical analysis involving descriptive statistics and Partial Least Squares- Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) is the method used in this study. The findings indicated that there were significant structural relationships between connectivism theory and Web 2.0 towards students' achievement. Furthermore, the structural model showed that students' achievement is influenced by the principles of connectivism theory and Facebook as a learning tool. In conclusion, this study had successfully developed and evaluated an independent learning model for social learning platform through PLS-SEM. Indirectly, apart from connectivism theory, Web 2.0 learning tool, that is Facebook, has also contributed to a different perspective on the process of students' learning at matriculation colleges. |
