Abstract

This study aimed to identify effective factors to the development of blended learning from the perspective of faculty members of PNU. For this purpose, after the study of contemporary research findings, effective factors to the development of blended learning were divided in five groups of structural, planning, information systems, nature and workplace and support factors for each of these components were determined. In order to assess the effective factors to the development of blended learning from the perspective of faculty members, a researcher-made questionnaire was designed. The questionnaire was with 40 questions using a Likert scale. Its validity was confirmed through content validity and its reliability through Cornbrash's alpha (α=91%). After determining the sample size using Morgan table by simple random sampling, questionnaires were distributed to faculty members. The research findings were analyzed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. To analyze the data, SPSS and LISREL softwares were employed. Results indicate that among the identified factors, the most important and influential factors to the development of blended learning from the perspective of administrators was related to structural factors.

Abstract [Persian]

چکیده
پژوهش حاضر با هدف بررسی توسعه آموزش ترکیبی در زمینه آموزش عالی جهت شناسایی عوامل تاثیرگذار صورت گرفته است.بدین منظور پس از مطالعه یافته های تحقیقاتی معاصر عوامل توسعه آموزش ترکیبی به پنج گروه عوامل؛ ساختاری، نظام برنامه ریزی ، نظام اطلاعاتی و ماهیت و محیط کار و پشتیبانی تقسیم شده و برای هر یک از این عوامل مولفه هایی تعیین شد.به منظور سنجش عوامل توسعه آموزش ترکیبی از دیدگاه اعضای هیات علمی پرسشنامه ای محقق ساخته طراحی شد. پرسشنامه مذکور،دارای 40سوال پنج گزینه ای با استفاده از مقیاس لیکرت می باشد.روایی پرسشنامه از طریق روایی صوری و محتوایی مورد تایید قرارگرفت و پایایی آن از طریق آلفای کرونباخ(89/0=α)محاسبه شد.پس از تعیین حجم نمونه آماری با استفاده از جدول مورگان به روش تصادفی ساده،پرسشنامه ها بین اعضای هیات علمی توزیع گردید.یافته های پژوهش با استفاده از روش تحلیل عاملی اکتشافی و تاییدی مورد تجزیه و تحلیل قرار گرفته اند. از نرم افزارهای LISRELوSPSS برای تجزیه و تحلیل اطلاعات استفاده شده است . یافته های پژوهش حاکی از آن است که از بین عوامل شناسایی شده، مهم ترین و اثرکذارترین عامل بر آموزش ترکیبی به عوامل ساختاری مربوط می شود
