Digital dynamos: Technological readiness and online learning self-efficacy of fitness and sports majors in a State University in the Philippines
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: There has been a plethora of research on technological readiness and online learning self-efficacy across several fields in recent years. While some research has shown a correlation between the two, the vast majority of investigations have shown the inverse. Additionally, research on fitness and sports in higher education is lacking, particularly in the Philippines. In this study, 256 exercise and sports science students from a selected state university are surveyed to better understand the nature of the connection between TR and OLSE. Furthermore, this study has used correlational analysis such as Pearson’s r and multiple regression to find out how the four constructs of TR and OLSE were related to each other. The results showed that TR and OLSE are significantly related to one another. Optimism, insecurity, inventiveness, and discomfort—the four TR dimensions—are also positively associated to OLSE. Results suggest that students’ OLSE might be substantially enhanced if they are more likely to make advantage of state-of-the-art resources made available through online learning platforms. Herein are proposed recommendations and initiatives for further study.
