    An Examination of the Factor Structure of the Turkish Version of the Online Learning Environment Survey
    (Turkish Education Assoc, 2011) Ozkok, Alev; Yurdugul, Halil; Aşkar, Petek; Özkök, Güldem Alev
    The primary aim of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Online Learning Environment Survey (OLES) in postsecondary distance education. The OLES is a 54 item instrument for assessing social-psychological perceptions among distance education students. The second aim was to investigate empirically perception of the online learning environment in Turkish context. This paper consisted of three models explaining online learning environments in the Turkish context. Model I, based on relations of originally item-construct reported by Trinidad, Aldridge & Fraser, (2004), was analyzed with gathered data from Turkey setting by the translation, adaptation, and validation of the Online Learning Environment Survey (OLES) (Trinidad, Aldridge & Fraser, 2004) in a new Turkish-language form. In Model I, the OLES was designed to measure nine dimensions of online educational environment. The fit of the proposed multidimensional factor structure was examined with 902 post-secondary distance education students in two institutions. Model II, based on relations of emprically item-construct which were obtained with principal component analysis, was investigated with first-order confirmatory factor analysis. Model II consist of twelve subconstructs. Model III, with a higher-order construct with twelve first-order factors of OLES-TR, was perfectly represented as a general online learning environments trait rather than the OLES.

    Although several scales are used to measure general and clinical learning climates, there are no scales that assess the preclinical learning climate. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop an effective measurement tool in order to assess the preclinical learning climate. In this cross-sectional study, data were collected from 3,540 preclinical medical students of six medical faculties in Turkey. The methodology included the following activities: generate an item pool, receive expert opinions, perform a pretest to purify the instrument, and conduct factor and reliability analyses. According to the factor analysis, eight factors were determined and their contribution to the variance was 50.39%. In addition, the item factor loadings ranged from .31 to .91, Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the subscales ranged from .72 to .77, and the item-total correlation coefficients for the subscales ranged from .44 to .76. All the items significantly discriminated between the low- and high-performing students (t = 99.57; p = .01). The scale included 52 items with the following subscales: management, teaching, teaching staff, institutional commitment, emotions, inter-student relationships, physical environment, and motivation. The analysis of this newly developed Preclinical Learning Climate Scale (PLCS) indicated that its psychometric properties are appropriate and this scale can be employed to evaluate medical education programs.
