Determining the Effectiveness of the E-Learning Management System of the Technical and Vocational University in Teaching Theoretical-Practical Courses in the Field of Graphics (Case Study: Girls’ Technical and Vocational University of Shahreza)

With the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic and the replacement of the face-to-face method of teaching with the virtual education method in universities, the issue of measuring the effectiveness of virtual education has received a great deal of attention. The present research was aimed at investigating the effectiveness of virtual education in the electronic learning management system of the Girls' Technical and Vocational University of Shahreza. The research population included the students and professors of in the field of Graphics at the Technical and Vocational University of Shahreza, in the academic year of 2021-2022. A researcher-made questionnaire was used as tool of research. For data analysis, Kaiser-Meir-Elkin test, Bartlett test, first and second stage confirmatory factor analysis, correlation coefficient test, covariance test, path analysis and structural equation modelling were used. The research results showed the primary desire of students for virtual education, the effectiveness of virtual education compared to the face-to-face method, the technical and structural features of the Samyad system, and the capability of the Samyad system to transfer the concepts and curricular skills in the graphics field. Finally, the quality of academic evaluation in the Samyad system was considered to be the effective factors of this system, which also had the necessary credibility. In addition, there was a meaningful two-way relationship between the factors that formed the effectiveness of the system, and the covariance of the factors that make up its effectiveness was significant. Therefore, considering the effectiveness of the Samyad system, its use was effective in optimizing the teaching-learning process of students.
