Abstract

Independent learning is one of the determining factors in supporting student success during the TUWEB learning process at the Open University. It is important for each tutor to identify student learning independence by using a tested instrument. The purpose of this study was to produce a student learning independence assessment instrument that is valid, reliable and can be used widely. This type of research is descriptive qualitative, with instrument testing involving experts, validity and reliability testing. The results showed that the student learning independence assessment instrument developed for TUWEB learning at the Open University was valid with expert judgment and statistical analysis and was reliable based on the Cronbach alpha test. In testing the instrument, factor analysis was also carried out and it was found that there were 6 main factors that influenced student learning independence at the Open University.
