Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to develop a valid and reliable instrument in order to determine the satisfaction level of university students for the e-course. The five-point Likert-type draft that consists of 65 items was first applied to 414 university students. Data were collected through satisfaction scale for the ecourse (SSEC) and personal information form. Principal component analysis was implemented to determine validity evidence of scale scores. As a result of the analysis, it is specified that the scale consists five-point Likert-type 35 items and five sub-dimensions of course content and teaching process, used materials and communication tools, attitudes towards e-learning, media design and teacher-student interaction. Load factor values of the items in the scale ranged between .478 and .833 and item-total correlations were between .526 and .872. Cronbach's alpha reliability was calculated as .966 in order to provide evidence for the reliability of the scale. The findings obtained from this study have revealed that satisfaction scale for the e-course is a valid and reliable instrument to be used in determining the satisfaction of university students related to online courses
