Structural Equation Modeling in Readiness, Willingness and Anxiety of Secondary School Students About the Distance Learning

Abstract

In recent years, distance education is one of the educational practices used. Distance education which was performed in past for the persons and adults who didn’t participate to education, is planned and carried out in high education for preparing the students. With this sight, the consciousness of what's the distance education, the willingness for participation in like this education, the level of readiness and anxiety are the factors that provide to be successful in distance education and to go on for system. In this context, it is aimed that the contact in between readiness and willingness through structural equation modeling and research. With this aim, 777 secondary school students selected by Convenience sampling method will be formed with the sampling of research. The questionnaire formed 3 scales that done validity reliability research and an information form will be practiced to students taken part in study group. In addition to the willingness for distance education, readiness for distance education and anxiety scale for distance learning, information questions which contain demographic feature were added to this questionnaire. The questionnaire will be carried out to deliver by hand and the data will be researched with the equation modeling by entering to LISREL 8.54 packet program. It's found that readiness for distance learning and the level of willing is high but the level of anxiety is low. In addition to, it's found that the level of readiness anxiety of secondary school students for distance education, readiness, willingness must be significant.
