Abstract

The current research aims to investigate the reality of e-learning (its advantages and disadvantages) from the point of view of students in the Directorate General of Education in Anbar Governorate, as well as to identify the significance of the differences in the students' perspectives according to the variables of gender and academic specialization. To achieve the goal of the research, the researcher adopted a questionnaire of (Aisan and Al-Ani, 2007), which consists of (46) items. Of which (25) items measure the positives of e-learning and (21) measure the negatives of e- learning. The apparent validity of the questionnaire was verified by presenting it to (12) arbitrators specialized in psychological and educational sciences. The arbitrators agreed to accept (44) items and delete two items from the field of negative aspects of e- learning. In addition, the stability of the questionnaire was verified and then it was applied to a sample of secondary school students in Anbar Governorate, their number reached (150) students, males and females. After the statistical treatment of the data obtained from the sample using the weighted mean method, relative weight and two-way analysis of variance with interaction, the research reached the following results: The field of e-learning negatives ranked first, as there were (16) items verified out of a total of (19) items. The field of e-learning advantages came in second place, as there were (13) items verified out of a total of (25). This indicates that e-learning has more negatives than positives from students’ point of view. In addition, the results showed there is no statistically significant difference in their views according to the academic achievement variable, while there was a difference in those of the students of the scientific specialization. The researcher has made a number of recommendations, among which, seeking to find an electronic learning environment in which the infrastructure for this type of education is available.
