Comparison Between the e-Learning Readiness of Educators and Learners in South African Schools

摘要

In this paper, e-learning readiness of the South African schools in previously disadvantaged schools in Gauteng were investigated. A twenty-nine (29) item questionnaire was used to obtain the data. The new learning method is being introduced and will be implemented by Gauteng Department of Education. The data obtained from the questionnaires was then analyzed by using a STOPE model. The results obtained by using STOPE show that the learners are 78% ready as compared to 74% of educators. The five-point likert scale showed a 3.91 average learners' readiness as well as a 3.69 average educator's readiness. Thus, it is evident that the educators are generally less receptive to adopting e-learning than the learners.
