Bu araştırmanın amacı Bartın Üniversitesi’nde
bir ve son sınıflarda öğrenim gören öğrencilerin e-öğrenmeye hazır bulunuşluk
düzeylerini ve bunun üzerinde etkili olan faktörleri belirlemektir. Araştırmada
tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın katılımcıları birinci ve son
sınıftaki 5021 öğrencidir. Veri toplama aracı olarak demografik bilgiler formu
ve altı faktör ve 33 maddeden oluşan e-öğrenmeye hazır bulunuşluk ölçeği
kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda ölçek geneli için öğrencilerin hazır
bulunuşluk düzeylerinin yüksek düzeyde olduğu, alt boyutlar açısından
bakıldığında bilgisayar öz-yeterliği ve e-öğrenmeye yönelik motivasyon alt
boyutlarında orta, kendi kendine öğrenme, çevrimiçi iletişim öz-yeterliği, internet
öz-yeterliği ve öğrenen kontrolü alt boyutlarında yüksek düzeyde olduğu
belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca erkek öğrencilerin e-öğrenme hazır bulunuşluklarının kadın
öğrencilere göre, son sınıf öğrencilerinin birinci sınıftaki öğrencilere göre,
kişisel bilgisayar sahip olan öğrencilerin olmayanlara göre, internet
bağlantısı olan akıllı telefona sahip olan öğrencilerin olmayanlara göre daha
yüksek düzeyde olduğu bulunmuştur. Araştırmanın diğer bir bulgusuna göre
öğrencilerin öğrenim gördükleri fakülteye/yüksekokula göre e-öğrenmeye hazır
bulunuşluk puan ortalamaları arasında farklılıkların olduğu belirlenmiştir.
Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda çeşitli önerilerde
bulunulmuştur.

Investigation of University Students E-Learning Readiness: Example of Bartın University

Öz

The aim of the current study was to determine the
level of readiness of e-learning students at Bartın University who were in the first
or last year of their studies. It was also aimed to identify the variables that
influence students' e-learning readiness. The survey model was used in this research.
Participants of the study were students who were enrolled in bachelor or
associate degree programs (N = 5021).
The data collection instrument was the demographic information form and the
e-learning readiness scale of university students consisting of six factors and
33 items. As a result, it was determined that the level of e-learning readiness
of the students was high. When the sub-dimensions were examined, computer
self-efficacy and motivation for e-learning were moderate. Self-directed
learning, online communication self-efficacy, Internet self-efficacy, and
learning control were found to be at high levels. It was also found that the
e-learning readiness levels of male students were higher than female students. Another
finding was a statistically significant difference among students’ e-learning
readiness levels based on grades and this difference was found to be in favor
of last year students. It was observed that e-learning readiness levels of
students who owned a computer and those who owned a smart phone were higher. There
was also a difference between the mean of e-learning readiness according to
faculty / college in which students were enrolled. Various suggestions were
made in line with the findings of the study.
