Abstract

The purpose of this study was to development of scales to measure the "fun" of learning motivation in non-face-to-face classes. Based on results from literature review, this study clarifies a theoretical ground for the ‘Fun’ factors of learning motivation in non-face-to-face classes. Initial items to measure this concept were verified by content analysis and then finalized. After a pilot test done with 249 university students, gathered data were analyzed by item selection and exploratory factor analysis to verify their validity. Next, the main test implemented with 450 university students was analyzed with exploratory factor analysis using the method for rotation based on principle component analysis and varimax for validating the final items to measure the ‘Fun’ factors of online classes. As a result, the scale for the ‘Fun’ factors of non-face-to-face classes consists of 33 items to measure the following three factors: situational and real fun, relational fun, cognitive fun. Criterion-related validity were performed at last to check this scale’s theoretical construct. In conclusion, this study concluded that the constructs for the ‘Fun’ factors of non-face-to-face classes could be generalized and applicable to other samples.
