Aim:
E-learning is increasingly used in education, creating a learning environment that needs to be studied thoroughly for developing new learning opportunities.
Background:
Drawing from the community of inquiry framework, the present work provides the theoretical foundation and measurement validation of the Self-Perceived E-Learning Environment Scale (SEES). The SEES measures core aspects of the e-learning context: autonomous strategic planning, social interaction, and teacher feedback.
Method:
Through two studies carried out in sample of nursing students, an exploratory (n = 302) and confirmatory (n = 245) factor analysis revealed a three-factor structure.
Result:
The results provide empirical evidence of appropriate psychometric properties (i.e., reliability, validity).
Conclusion:
The SEES can be used in a higher education context, particularly in nursing education programs. Theoretical, methodological, and practical implications for exploring the e-learning environment in nursing educational settings are discussed.
