摘要：The study aims to evaluate an independent learning measurement model based on connectivism theory and Web 2.0. The quantitative method is used in this study. The data is obtained through the instrument of connectivism theory and Facebook usage. The subject of this study was 81 students of Two Year Programme in one of the matriculation colleges in Malaysia. These respondents were selected based on purposive sampling. The statistical analysis involved descriptive statistics and Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) as the method used in this study. The findings indicated that there were significant structural relationships between connectivism theory and Web 2.0 towards students' achievement. Furthermore, the structural model showed that students' achievement is influenced by the principles of connectivism theory and Facebook as a learning tool. In conclusion, this study had successfully developed and evaluated an independent learning model based on connectivism theory and Web 2.0 through PLS-SEM. This study implied that apart from connectivism theory, Web 2.0 learning tool which is Facebook is also contributed a different perspective to the process of students' learning at matriculation colleges.
