DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF THE INSTRUMENT FOR MEASURING DIGITAL LEARNING ORGANIZATION CULTURE

Abstract

Digital transformation has had a profound impact on the education sector. This scenario drives dynamic changes that require teachers to continuously learn and adapt within a culture of a learning organization (LO). Although the concept of LO has been introduced for centuries, its application in the context of digital educational transformation remains underexplored. Thus, there is a gap in the need for valid instruments to measure learning organization culture through digital platforms, which can be adapted from existing instruments. The instrument was adapted from the School Learning Organization Questionnaire (SLOQ) and refined to integrate the digital elements. This article reports the validation procedure for the Digital Learning Organization Instrument for Schools (DigiLOIS), a 19-item questionnaire. Data were collected from 200 secondary school teachers for an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and from 373 coherent respondents for a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) in one state in Malaysia. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 29.0 for EFA and AMOS 29.0 for CFA. In this study, a measurement tool of DigiLOIS instrument was established, comprising three dimensions: Individual Digital Learning (IDL), Team Digital Learning (TDL), and Organizational Digital Learning (ODL). In practice, this study has proposed robust psychometric tools for policymakers, school leaders, and researchers to enhance the culture of digital learning organization (DLO) within the school environment.
