The purposes of this study were to understand Taiwanese undergraduates’ conceptions of Internet-based learning, and explore the differences of conceptions of Internet-based learning between science-related majors and non- science-related majors. The study consisted of three major parts. First, 40 undergraduates were interviewed to identify conceptions of Internet-based learning through phenomenographic method. Second, a questionnaire was developed, based on these interviews, and validated, with 400 students. Third, the collected data, including 143 science-related majors and 257 non-science- related majors, were analyzed by independent sample t-test. The research findings indicated that six categories of conceptions of Internet-based learning were identified, including Internet-based learning as one-way learning, rehearsing, information searching, increase of knowledge, self-regulating, and understanding. In addition, the conceptions of Internet-based learning questionnaire developed in this study has good reliability and convergent validity. Moreover, there were significant differences in the two constructs of conceptions of Internet-based learning, one-way learning, and information searching, between science-related majored and non- science-related majored undergraduates. |
