Abstract
Constructivist E-learning Environment (CEE) model is an e-learning model that is designed based on the constructivist learning theory. The goal of the CEE model is to create the learning environment that improves students' learning outcomes. The CEE model consists of three components which are Collaboration, Exploration, and Construction. This study mainly examined the effects of computer self-efficacy, Internet-self-efficacy, and computer attitude towards the learning expectation of each component of the CEE model. Responses from 761 university students were used to evaluate the model. The results indicate that computer self-efficacy and computer attitude has a positive effect on all three components of the CEE model while Internet self-efficacy has only a positive effect on Exploration.
