Zusammenfassung: | Purpose: Present the advances of a research project whose main goal is the construction and empirical validation of a structural equations model to explain the students’ academic performance in Administration distance degree careers of the Universidad de la Defensa Nacional (Argentina).
Methodology/Approach: Were selected and adapted indicators for each latent variable identified at the theorical model. For selection in some cases we resort to measurable variables in objective units and in other cases to subjective variables measurement scales validated by previous research. For adaptation, we consider the population characteristics under study and the distance education model particularly applied in the University.
Findings: A measurement model formulation was obtained which, linked to the causal model proposed as a result of bibliographic background integration, allowed us to reach a complete structural equations model specification with six latent variables, five endogenous and one exogenous.
Research Limitation/implication: Consider that the observed variables selected are the ones that best combine to identify the hypothesized constructs.
Originality/Value of paper: Learning in virtual environments is the main endogenous latent variable of the model, explained by previous knowledge, motivation, digital skills, self-regulation and interaction processes. |
