Meaningful Hybrid e-Training Model via POPEYE Orientation

This present study is aimed at developing a meaningful hybrid e-training model for ICT trainers by distinguishing the usefulness of its' content, delivery, service, outcome and infrastructure. In doing so, the study sought to establish the content validity, test reliability and construct validate factors affecting usefulness of the hybrid e-training approach. Overall reliability coefficients of the instrument examined when analyzed with SPSS 15.0 using Cronbach Alpha reliability test were.986 while reliability at the scale levels were also acceptable ranging from.886 to.971. Subsequently external construct validity was conducted by employing structural equation modeling using confirmatory factor analysis ( CFA) with AMOS 7.0. Overall analyses suggested that the instrument is valid and reliable to measure the usefulness of a hybrid e-Training module or program. Internal consistency was still maintained after CFA with overall reliability coefficient of.959 and at the scale level ranging from.814 to.909. A revised model was developed from the hypothesized measurement model with findings showing evidences for construct validity. Goodness-of-fit measures of comparative fit index (CFI) and non-normed fix index (NNFI also known TLI) were above suggested threshold >.90 (CFI=.943; TLI=.930). The paper will also showcase some of the instructional media and method used in the study to promote good practice of the problem oriented project based hybrid e-training (POPEYE) orientation.
