Learning surveys
<pageby nominor="false" comments="false"/>
Introduction
The purpose of this page is to create an inventory of some survey instruments that measure perception of learning, learning environments, etc.
Perception of learning and learning environments
The Distance Education Learning Environments Survey (DELES)
Scott L. Walker (Curtin university) developed a Distance Education Learning Environments Survey (DELES)
Available:
- Walker (2003). PDF. The survey is in Appendix B.
COLLES
Taylor and Maor (2000) developed an instrument to study on-line environments called the "Constructivist On-Line Learning Environment Survey (COLLES)
Available:
Perceived learning (Richmond, 1987)
Only one item:
- “On a scale of 0 to 9, how much did you learn in this course, with 0 meaning you learned nothing and 9 meaning you learned more than in any other course you’ve had?”
Learning effectiveness (self-report)
Shih-Wei Chou & Chien-Hung Liu define learning effectiveness with four dimensions:
- Performance
- Self-efficacy
- satisfaction
- learning climate
The response items are in the article:
National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE)

cognitive absorption and TAM
Raafat Saade and Bouchaib Bahli (2004) presented an extended TAM model:
Cognitive absorption is measaured through three dimensions.
- Temporal dissociation (TD)
TD1 Sometimes I lose track of time when I am using the ILS
- TD2 Time flies when I am using ILS
- TD3 Most times when I get on to the ILS, I end up spending more time than I had planned
- TD4 I often spend more time on the ILS than I intended
- Focused immersion (FI)
- FI1 When I am using the ILS I am able to block out most other distraction
- FI2 While using the ILS, I am absorbed in what I am doing
- FI3 While using the ILS, I am immersed in the task I am performing
- Heightened enjoyment (HE)
- HE1 I have fun interacting with the ILS
- HE2 Using the ILS bores me
- HE3 I enjoy using the ILS
