Adaptation and Validation of the Turkish Version of the Online Learning Readiness Self-Check Survey

By its nature, online learning is a learner-centered process and, therefore, self-regulation (i.e. the ability to manage one’s own learning) plays a significant role. In this study, we aimed to adapt and validate the Online Learning Readiness Self-Check Survey (OLRSC), a 39-item instrument that measures self-regulated learning readiness across domains such as learning, resources, technology, and interaction management. To this end, we administered the full translated scale to undergraduate students (n = 706) at a public university in Türkiye during the Spring 2022. Using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses on split samples, we identified a three-factor structure comprising 25 items: learning management, interaction management, and interaction with peers. The resulting scale demonstrated acceptable fit indices and strong internal consistency (Cronbach’s α =.81–.91), indicating that the Turkish adaptation of the OLRSC is a valid and reliable tool for assessing online learning readiness among Turkish undergraduate students.
