Description
Summary:Mainly there were two purposes of this study. One was to examine the extent of Facebook use in distance learning, constituted meaningful and interpretable dimensions of the affective learning construct, and to test the adequacy of the construct in terms of its reliability, convergent validity, discriminant validity, and measurement invariance to the gender of students. The sample consisted of 243 Program Pensiswazahan Guru (PPG) in International Islamic University Malaysia. The data were collected using a self-reported 15-item questionnaire measuring university students’ affective learning behaviors. The results of the study supported and extended the results of previous work on students’ behaviors when using online platforms for distance education. The study found evidence that students’ affective learning is a valid and reliable multidimensional construct, and the measurement equivalence for male and female students, and affective learning is predictive variable for other constructs in the study. The findings are useful in making decisions in choosing and developing instructional interventions to facilitate learning ethically, safely and in a responsible manner in an online environment.
