Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the practicality, validation, and validation of the online learning readiness scale in students of virtual courses. For this purpose, according to self-declaration, 350 undergraduate students of virtual courses were selected by random sampling method and an 18-item online learning readiness questionnaire was administered to students of virtual courses. The validity of the measurement tool in terms of internal coordination (Cronbach's alpha) is 0.945 and the method of retesting the subscales is all above 0.85. Performing the principal components analysis on the construct validity of the questionnaire shows that the materials of the questionnaire are generally correlated with one factor. The rotation of the factors according to Varimax method shows that the theoretical structure of the questionnaire consists of 5 factors: Motivation to learn in online environments, and self-efficacy in online communications) is saturated with a factor load of more than 0.40, which together are 66.65% of the total variance and each with (29.98, 23.19, 18.81, / 85, respectively). 14, and 13.17) explain the percentage of common variance of the online learning readiness questionnaire.
