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)

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

• Learning effectiveness in a Web-based virtual learning environment: a learner control perspective
