An Analysis of the Intention of Students Studying at Physical Education and Sports School to Use Synchronous Virtual Classroom Environments during the COVID-19 Pandemic Period
Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology - TOJET, v20 n4 p16-22 Oct 2021
This study aims to analyze the intention of students studying at physical education and sports school to use synchronous virtual classroom environments during the Covid-19 pandemic period. The research was designed in a descriptive survey model with a quantitative approach. The study group of the research consists of 193 voluntary students studying at School of Physical Education and Sports in a State University in the spring semester of the 2020-2021 academic year. The data of the research were collected with the "Personal Information Form" and the "Synchronous Virtual Classroom Acceptance Scale" in order to determine the students' intention to use synchronous virtual classroom environments. It has been determined following the study that the intention of students to use synchronous virtual classroom environments is generally positive and these intentions are at higher level in the "Subjective Norm" and "Self-efficacy" sub-dimensions, and lower in the "Perceived Ease of Use" subdimension. We have found that the students' intention to use synchronous virtual classroom environments does not change significantly according to the variables of gender and the department they study, but changed significantly according to the variable of the class they studied while the students studying in the first year have more positive intentions to use the synchronous virtual classroom environments than the students studying in other classes. In addition, it has been concluded that the intention of using the synchronous virtual classroom environments of the students who have a personal computer and an internet-connected smart phone and the students who access the lessons from their home with a laptop computer is more positive than the other groups.
