Abstract
With the in-depth development of the Internet and digital technology, it has become an important way to learn online. Under digital learning environment, peer interaction among learners is not only playing a crucial role in the construction of their knowledge, but also is a key link to enhance their learning outcome. To investigate how peer interaction can affect learning outcome of college students, this research constructs a model of relationship, and administers a questionnaire survey among 3263 college students in 28 universities in China. The study has found that peer interaction positively affects learning outcome, meanwhile, attitude and self-efficacy act as chain mediators in the relationship of peer interaction and learning outcome. This study thoroughly discusses the impact mechanism of peer interaction on learning outcome of college students in the digital environment, which will provide beneficial references and inspirations for optimizing online learning mode and promoting learning outcome.
