摘要：Online distance learning is becoming a standard delivery method in educational institutions since the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2019. Public and private universities in Malaysia are no exception to facing various problems in online teaching and learning using the Open Distance learning (ODL) method. After nearly one and half years of performing an ODL teaching and learning method, students in public and private institutions of higher learning are beginning to show a trend of emotional decline. According to a scientific brief released by the WHO, the global prevalence of anxiety and depression increased by a massive 25% in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, this study is significant to identify the students' emotions along the ODL to surpass the issues. In addition, the measurement of emotional stability on the quality of online student learning ability is still growing. Therefore, the instrument to evaluate the research variables is crucial to ensure the quality of the output. Thus, this paper aims to assess the validity and reliability of the instrument for emotional stability on the quality of online student learning ability. This study applied a quantitative approach by using a random distribution of Google Forms questionnaires. The questionnaire was distributed among academicians in universities to re-redistribute among their students to participate in this research. The survey involved 41 Students as respondents with various backgrounds in public universities. The data was analyzed by using SmartPLS 3 for the measurement model to achieve the aim of the research. The findings show the three variables to measure the emotional condition of online student learning ability, namely learning aids, learning environment, and lecturer, are valid and confirmed to measure student emotional stability. This study found that a latent variable emotional condition should have its items to measure the relationship between variables effectively. Thus, the restructuring of items for each latent variable will be reviewed and rearranged to ensure that the number of items measuring each construct is satisfactory in future research.
