Examining University Students' Acceptance of Online Learning in Terms of Some Variables

Year 2025, Volume: 9 Issue: 21, 473 - 486, 31.08.2025

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine university students’ levels of acceptance of online learning (AOL) and to examine whether these levels differ significantly based on variables such as gender, field of study, internet access at home, having a personal computer, grade, program type, grade point average (GPA), and parental education levels. The study was conducted using a quantitative survey design, and the sample consisted of 522 university students. Data were collected using the “Online Learning Acceptance Scale” and analyzed through descriptive statistics such as arithmetic mean, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum values, as well as inferential statistics including independent samples t-test and one-way ANOVA. According to the findings, students' overall levels of AOL were found to be high. Male students exhibited significantly higher acceptance levels compared to female students. Students who had internet access and a personal computer at home reported significantly higher acceptance levels than those who did not. In terms of grade level, third-year students demonstrated significantly greater acceptance than first-year students. When comparing different academic programs, students enrolled in social sciences and technical fields had higher acceptance levels than those in health sciences. Students whose mothers were university graduates reported significantly higher acceptance levels than those whose mothers were illiterate or had completed only primary, middle, or high school. Similarly, students whose fathers had completed high school or university education had higher acceptance levels than those whose fathers were illiterate. On the other hand, no significant differences were found in students’ acceptance levels based on field of study (i.e., social sciences, technical programs, or health sciences) or overall GPA.

Üniversite Öğrencilerinin Çevrimiçi Öğrenmeyi Kabulünün Bazı Değişkenler Açısından İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, üniversite öğrencilerinin çevrimiçi öğrenmeyi kabul düzeylerini (AOL) belirlemek ve bu düzeylerin cinsiyet, öğrenim alanı, evde internet erişimi, kişisel bilgisayara sahip olma, sınıf, program türü, not ortalaması (GPA) ve ebeveyn eğitim düzeyleri gibi değişkenlere göre anlamlı bir şekilde farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını incelemektir. Çalışma nicel tarama deseni kullanılarak yürütülmüş ve örneklemi 522 üniversite öğrencisinden oluşmuştur. Veriler “Çevrimiçi Öğrenme Kabul Ölçeği” kullanılarak toplanmış ve aritmetik ortalama, standart sapma, minimum ve maksimum değerleri gibi betimsel istatistiklerin yanı sıra bağımsız örneklemler t-testi ve tek yönlü ANOVA'yı içeren çıkarımsal istatistiklerle analiz edilmiştir. Bulgulara göre, öğrencilerin genel AOL düzeyleri yüksek bulunmuştur. Erkek öğrenciler kız öğrencilere kıyasla anlamlı derecede daha yüksek kabul düzeyleri göstermiştir. Evde internet erişimi ve kişisel bilgisayarı olan öğrenciler, olmayanlara kıyasla anlamlı derecede daha yüksek kabul düzeyleri bildirmiştir. Sınıf düzeyi bakımından, üçüncü sınıf öğrencileri birinci sınıf öğrencilerine göre anlamlı derecede daha fazla kabul göstermiştir. Farklı akademik programlar karşılaştırıldığında, sosyal bilimler ve teknik alanlarda kayıtlı öğrencilerin kabul düzeyleri sağlık bilimleri alanlarındaki öğrencilere göre daha yüksekti. Anneleri üniversite mezunu olan öğrenciler, anneleri okuma yazma bilmeyen veya yalnızca ilkokul, ortaokul veya liseyi bitirmiş olanlara göre anlamlı derecede daha yüksek kabul düzeyleri bildirdiler. Benzer şekilde, babaları lise veya üniversite mezunu olan öğrencilerin kabul düzeyleri, babaları okuma yazma bilmeyenlere göre daha yüksekti. Öte yandan, öğrencilerin kabul düzeylerinde çalışma alanına (yani sosyal bilimler, teknik programlar veya sağlık bilimleri) veya genel not ortalamasına göre anlamlı bir fark bulunamamıştır.
