Abstract

The aim
of this research is to investigate the relationships between e-learning and
cooperative learning attitudes of the high school students. Attitude scales of
e-learning and cooperative learning were utilized as a data collection tools in the research. The sample of
the investigation comprises of 415 high school students from three schools in
the province of Sakarya whom are 215 female and 200 male. The problem of the
investigation was analysed by the use of "Pearson Moment Correlation"
and "Structural Equation Model". Results show that
there is a positive and significant relationship between the scores of
students' e-learning attitude and the scores of students' cooperative learning
attitude. Moreover, the findings gathered from Structural Equation Model demonstrate that
coopeartive learning predicts positively the sub-dimensions of e-learning.
These results were discussed in frame of the related literature.
