Enhancing the Effectiveness of Learning Models: Key Factors Explored Higher Education
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.56294/saludcyt20252304Keywords:
Student Characteristics, Learning Quality, Learning Environment, Learning TechnologyAbstract
Enhancing the effectiveness of learning models remains a challenge in the digital era, making it crucial to understand the factors that influence learning outcomes. This study aims to analyze the factors affecting the effectiveness of learning models in a digital context. A quantitative survey was conducted using questionnaires as the primary data collection instrument, involving 144 students from the Informatics Study Program at the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Negeri Padang. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Smart PLS 4.0 software, and the measurement model was found to be valid and reliable. The results indicate that student characteristics and learning quality have positive but modest effects on learning effectiveness, while the learning environment and learning models show minimal negative correlations. Learning technology was identified as the most influential factor, significantly enhancing the effectiveness of learning models. These findings suggest that prioritizing learning technology can substantially improve the effectiveness of digital learning, whereas other factors have relatively smaller impacts.
