My learning with SmartPLS seems to have been an amazing one. In my last post, I showed how I created my model by importing my data from Google Forms into the Smartpls user interface using the PLS-SEM algorithm. I also remember saying that I was going to interpret the values that were generated from the calculations of the PLS-SEM algorithm. In the below video, I tried explaining the various values in relation to how they should be understood and reported for general understanding. This involves exploring key terms used in explaining the outer model and structure model of the path model generated. I basically learned how to interpret the construct validity and reliability as well as the discriminant validity of the items and constructs used in creating my model.

That sounds like an incredible learning journey! While I’m not very tech-savvy myself, I’ve really enjoyed following along with your progress. It’s fascinating to see how you’re using SmartPLS to analyze and interpret data. The way you break things down makes it easier to understand, even for someone like me who isn’t deep into the tech side of things. Keep sharing—your insights are so valuable!

Hi Ayodele,
Good job on the very thorough video! I am sure anyone starting out with SmartPLS would find your walk through and modelling very helpful. I am always amazed when I learn how much I have left to learn in the world – and your video definitely showed me that. I cannot pretend to understand the bootstrapping graphic and consequent data you showed, but I am glad you felt it worth your time and I am impressed you intend to run through the model a few more times to fully understand your learning project. Very well done.
