The Relationship Between Attitudes Toward Classroom Learning and Attitudes Toward Digital Classroom Learning

Abstract

There are many examples of activities that can be performed in a digital environment, and several variables may affect browsing patterns in the digital environment. This environment may be experienced as a separate environment to the physical one. Currently, the majority of people study in physical classrooms. Recently, however, it had also became possible to teach and study in “the digital classroom” (i.e., online learning environments) using computers and the Internet. This study examines the question of whether or not there are differences in the way these two types of classrooms are experienced. This study examined the relationships between attitudes toward classroom learning and attitudes toward digital classroom learning using self-report questionnaires that examined the attitudes of study participants. This study found that students prefer remote learning. In addition, the study found a negative relationship between attitudes toward classroom learning and attitudes toward digital classroom learning. This finding indicates that the two types of classrooms are not experienced as one environment, but rather, as two separate environments.
