Abstract
Introduction: Virtual education and its importance have been growing rapidly in recent years. In this situation, the field of sports sciences has had a higher sensitivity due to having practical courses.
Objective: According to the significance of the virtual education in sport science field, the aim of this study was to study the effect of knowledge sharing on virtual learning intention of sport science students.
Method: This study was a descriptive-correlative and practical one. To collect the research data, a researcher-developed questionnaire was used. The valid and reliable 15-items scale that was applied in this study was distributed among the research sample to collect the required data. The research population involved sport science students in Kerman. According to a pilot study a sample of 225 students was studied through convenience sampling. Structural equations modeling (SEM) was conducted to measure the validity and fitness of the research model. AMOS version18 and SPSS version 18 were used for data analysis.
Results and conclusions: Based on the research findings, knowledge sharing and its dimensions (explicit and tacit knowledge sharing) had a positive and significant effect on virtual learning intention of sport science students. According to the research findings, encouraging knowledge sharing process can play a critical role in improving virtual learning intention of sport science students in sports science educational system. Knowledge sharing can facilitate the process of virtual learning and this may play a critical role in motivating the sport science to follow virtual learning.
