The Factors Affecting Learning Outcome Intention of MOOCs for an Online Learning Platform

Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the factors affecting the learning outcome intention of MOOCs for an online learning platform. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was adopted as the theoretical foundation. A total of 400 valid samples were collected in Thailand and a Structural Equation Model (SEM) was adopted. The results of the four CFA factors (Learning Expectation, (LE), Learning Satisfaction (LS), Learning Attitude (LA), and Learning Behavior (LB)) are significant.  The Chi-Square (χ2) statistic is 220.74 at an independent degree (df) of 168 with a Relative Chi-square (χ2 / df) of 1.314 indicates that the model is suitable. The Comparative Fit Index (CFI) is 0.994, the Goodness Fit Index (GFI) is 0.971 and the model based on the research hypothesis is consistent with the empirical data. The Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) is 0.025.
