Abstract:

Institutions have tended to provide online training and in-service training by using today's technologies due to the increasing number of employees and the increase in the number of in-service trainings to be given. While the number of trainings held in online environments is increasing day by day, it has gained importance to help students learn and understand their e-learning styles in order to organize online learning environments according to their learning styles. The purpose of this research is to investigate the e-learning styles of employees who receive in-service training in corporate companies in online learning environment. The sample of the study is ASELSAN A.Ş. employees. The e-learning styles of the employees in this research investigated by; gender, generation, education level, occupational experience period, occupational class, occupational lane, e-learning experience duration and education category they have experienced. For this purpose, the "e-Learning Styles Scale" (Gülbahar & Alper, 2014) was used to reveal the learning styles of learners in online learning environments. The scale consists of 38 items and seven sub-factors (independent, social, audio-visual, active, verbal, logical and intuitive learning). The data for the research were collected by the survey method. To determine the e-learning styles of the employees, the e-Learning Styles Questionnaire (Gülbahar & Alper, 2014) was conducted by all ASELSAN A.Ş employees. Data were collected by e-mail and 2.796 people participated in the survey. The information about online learning of the employees are limited to the competency-based trainings they have experienced in 2021. Employees attendence and experience data about their online education and demographic information were obtained from the company learning management system database by obtaining relevant permissions. Differences in e-learning styles were found in a sample of 2.796 people according to the variables of gender, generation, education level, occupational experience period, occupational class, occupational lane, e-learning experience duration and education category they have experienced. Research findings reveal the difference in e-learning styles of employees. In the light of this information, it becomes necessary to consider the differences in e-learning styles of employees from different gender, generation, education level, occupational experience period, occupational class and occupational lane. As a result of this research, in order to create more learner-centered education environment, it is necessary to consider learners' e-learning styles. Establishing online training and development activities that appeal to the target audience or various learning styles by evaluating the learner profile in educational environments will serve the purpose of improving the competencies of the employees. As a research finding, a statistically significant difference was observed in learning styles according to the category of online trainings experienced by the employees. In the light of this result, it is predicted that the education category that the students prefer can be determined based on the online education knowledge they experience. In future studies, it is recommended to carry out studies on understanding learning styles according to the online education category that students prefer.
