The relationship of e-Learner's self-regulatory efficacy and perception of e-Learning environmental quality

The increasing use of a internet improved internet technologies as well as web-based applications. Also, increasing effectiveness of the e-Learning has become one of the most practically and theoretically important issues in both educational engineering and information system fields. This study suggests a research model which is based on an e-Learning success model as well as the relationship of the e-Learner's self-regulatory efficacy, and the quality perception of the e-Learning environment. The presented research model focuses on the learning environment and on the learners' self-efficacy. The learning environment consists of learning management system (LMS), learning contents and interaction that are provided by e-Learning system. The learners' self-efficacy, however, refers to the learners' self-regulatory efficacy. Group research has been conducted to sensitively analyze the relationship between the quality factors and the satisfaction of the e-Learning environment. As a result, this paper shows the validity of the model empirically. As the results demonstrate, most of the hypotheses suggested in this model were proved to be accepted.
