Email this article Difficulties in Printed Modular Distance Learning: Scale Development and Psychometric Properties
Abstract
Abstract: This study focused on the development of a scale that can be used to identify difficulties in printed modular distance learning from the perspective of learners. Extant literature was analyzed, and 20 learners were interviewed aimed at identifying difficulties. Insights from both literature and interviews served as the basis for the writing of 23 items on the initial scale, distributed under seven themes. Ten learners were asked to participate in the trial run, and 619 learners participated in the test administration. With responses during the test administration, means and standard deviations were computed, and scale reliability was evaluated using Cronbach’s Coefficient Alpha formula, while factor analysis was used to evaluate scale validity. Six factors were retained after factor analysis. The scale developed is psychometrically sound and can identify difficulties in printed modular distance learning, as can be observed from the results of its reliability and validity evaluation.
Keywords: distance learning, modular learning, scale development
Abstrak: Penelitian ini berfokus pada pengembangan skala yang dapat digunakan untuk mengidentifikasi kesulitan dalam pembelajaran jarak jauh modular cetak dari sudut pandang peserta didik. Literatur yang ada dianalisis, dan 20 peserta didik diwawancarai dengan tujuan untuk mengidentifikasi kesulitan. Wawasan dari literatur dan wawancara menjadi dasar penulisan 23 item pada skala awal, yang didistribusikan dalam tujuh tema. Sepuluh peserta didik diminta untuk berpartisipasi dalam uji coba, dan 619 peserta didik berpartisipasi dalam administrasi survei. Dengan respon selama pelaksanaan tes, rata-rata dan deviasi standar dihitung, dan reliabilitas skala dievaluasi menggunakan Koefisien Alpha Cronbach, sedangkan analisis faktor digunakan untuk mengevaluasi validitas skala. Enam faktor dipertahankan setelah analisis faktor. Skala yang dikembangkan secara psikometrik berkategori baik dan dapat mengidentifikasi kesulitan dalam pembelajaran jarak jauh modular tercetak, terlihat dari hasil evaluasi reliabilitas dan validitasnya.
Kata kunci: pembelajaran jarak jauh, pembelajaran modular, pengembangan skala pengukuran.
