STUDENTS’ ATTITIUDE TOWARDS E-LEARNING AND DISTANCE LEARNING COURSES

Summary/Abstract: Learning through the Internet has been a widely used technique in many academic fields. The learner's attitude is an important indicator that promotes learning. Distance Learning involves a student-centered approach in which the instructor takes the role of the facilitator and the students engage in peer learning. The purpose of this study was to investigate psychology and education sciences students’ attitude toward e-learning and its determinants. We used a convenience sample. The participants are students at the Faculty of Psychology and Education Sciences at the distance learning study program. The results showed that the preference for distance learning is largely because of the flexibility of use of time and location and work commitment. The study suggests that most students are not satisfied with teaching and learning by distance offered by the university, their reason being diverse, such as the individual competence to use computer, and the technical support for students.
