Abstract
Methods: The current research method was a mixed research of the type of grounded theory design and structural equation modeling. So that in the qualitative part with the grounded theory method, structuralist educational implications in virtual education were first extracted and the model was designed, and in the quantitative part with the structural equation model method, the suitability of the designed model with the real data was evaluated and the contribution of each factor was investigated. became. The statistical population of this study was formed by specialists and graduate students (PhD) of virtual education planning in the academic year 2016-2017, and a sample of 193 people (132 women, 61 men) was selected from this statistical population by random sampling. An interview and a researcher-made questionnaire were used to measure the studied variables. Research data were analyzed with exploratory, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and correlation matrix methods. The factor structure of the two-dimensional scale of structuralism and virtual learning was investigated using two methods of exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis.
Results: The findings showed that the questionnaire has acceptable internal consistency. The results of principal component analysis using varimax rotation extracted nine factors. Also, confirmatory factor analysis was used to determine factor validity. Also, the results showed that there is a significant relationship between structural elements and virtual education elements.
Conclusion: Based on the obtained results, it can be said that Specialists and experts in the field of education at the level of graduate education and virtual education and managers of educational organizations can use these results to deepen learning, improve productivity and educational efficiency.
