Abstract

Abstract
The aim of this research is to explore the impact of different patterns of locus of control among students and its interaction with the types of virtual classrooms and its impact on the attitudes, achievement, and learning efficiency. The experimental design in the research depended on factorial design (2x3). The research sample consisted of (223) students at the Faculty of Technology and Education in Suez. The results related to the main effect of the difference in the locus of control revealed that there is an improvement in the internal control students than the external control students. Moreover, students with an internal control are similar in achievement and learning efficiency with their peers with an external control. Furthermore, the results related to the main effect of the difference in virtual classrooms showed a positive development of students’ attitudes towards virtual classrooms in hybrid type more than synchronous and asynchronous, but this improvement was not statistically significant. However, there are an equal impact of virtual classes in the three types regarding to achievement. Also, the results showed that there is none statistically significant interaction between the locus of control and the virtual classrooms on improving the learning efficiency of the research sample.
