Abstract :This study aimed to develop the Learning Management Systems Evaluation Scale insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LMSES); with reference to Transactional Distance Theory insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TDT);. At the first stage of the scale development, it was observed that 19 items with three factors explained 63.73% of the total variance. The variance amounts explained by the scale factors are Dialogue insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(D=8 items, 23.06%);, Structure insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(S=7 items, 25.74%);, and Autonomy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(A=4 items, 14.93%);. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis performed at the second stage of the scale development, it was determined that the scale had a sufficient reliability coefficient insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Cronbach`s alpha S=0.90, D=0.89, A=0.82); and fit indices insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(χ2=252.78; sd=146; χ2/sd =1.73; CFI=0.95, NFI=0.90, GFI=0.89, AGFI=0.85, SRMR=0.06, RMSEA=0.06; p<0.001);. The overall Cronbach`s alpha coefficient of the scale was calculated as 0.94. Furthermore, the structural reliability of the scale insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Sω=0.90, SAVE=0.57; Dω=0.88, DAVE=0.49; Aω=0.82, AAVE=0.54); and the results of the HTMT insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(rS-D=0.68, rA-D=0.80, rA-S=0.76); correlation ratio analysis were examined, and the evidence for the validity of the scale was supported. According to these research findings, the LMSES has the potential to provide a statistically verified measurement structure based on TDT and support advanced theoretical and statistical studies.
