{"title":"The mediating role of online learning readiness in the relationship between course satisfaction and self-efficacy to learn statistics in online classes","authors":"Sangah Lee, Hyeon-Jean Yoo, Chih-Hsuan Wang","doi":"10.1080/02680513.2023.2270987","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/02680513.2023.2270987","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThe study identifies the mediating effects of online learning readiness (OLR) in the relation between course satisfaction and self-efficacy to learn online statistics. The sample comprised 121 students recruited from a large public university in a south-eastern state in the United States of America. Structural equation modelling (SEM) and correlational analysis were used to test the hypotheses. We found that self-efficacy to learn statistics is positively associated with both course satisfaction and online learning readiness in students. OLR has a significant positive association with course satisfaction. Our findings confirmed the mediational effect of OLR of students enrolled in online statistics courses in the relationships between self-efficacy to learn statistics and students’ course satisfaction. This study suggests that self-efficacy to learn statistics contributes to higher course satisfaction in online statistics learning. We suggest that educational establishments should focus on developing policies to improve the online learning readiness of students and student self-efficacy, to enhance course satisfaction.KEYWORDS: online learning readinessstatistics online courseself-efficacycourse satisfactiononilne learning Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsSangah LeeSangah Lee is a Research Scientist in the Department of Educational Leadership & Policy Studies at the University of Houston, Houston, TX, USA.

To resolve this tradeoff, understanding learner experience of successfully completing MOOCs is necessary. Keen completers , who complete a MOOC and meet the requirement of passing the course, tend to actively participate in course interactions; however, their voices about how interactions contribute to course completion are unheard. Therefore, this study applied a qualitative methodology to explore keen completers’ interaction experience and their perceptions of various types of interaction (e.g. learner-content, learner-learner, learner-instructor, learner-interface, learner-self, and learner-exterior interaction) in a MOOC. The findings of this study have added keen completers’ voices to existing evidence about interactions with a focus on how each type of interaction aided in the completion of a MOOC. Practical implications about maintaining learners’ effective interaction experience in MOOCs are discussed.KEYWORDS: MOOCsinteractionkeen completersretentionqualitative study Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe work was supported by the Office of the Provost, University of South Carolina [80004720]; Office of the Vice President for Research, University of South Carolina [80003684].Notes on contributorsHengtao TangHengtao Tang is an associate professor of Learning Design and Technologies at the University of South Carolina.

Douce, Charlotte Stevens","doi":"10.1080/02680513.2023.2216711","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/02680513.2023.2216711","url":null,"abstract":"Welcome to the third issue of Open Learning for 2023. The informal theme for this issue is the transition from theory to practice, and the role that theory plays in distance learning. Significantly, this issue has a very international feel to it. Contributors are from Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, South Korea, the UK and the USA. The first paper by Ukwoma and Ngulube (2021) from the University of South Africa and University of Nigeria, respectively, identifies trends and patterns of theory use in open and distance learning research by examining research articles published in open and distance journals between 2009 and 2018, including Open Learning. The authors analysed more than 1300 journal articles, applying a content analysis methodology, to discover that 385 theories were used in 366 articles. The theories are from the disciplines of education, social sciences and information systems, with some of the most cited theories being transactional distance theory, social constructivism, activity theory and community of practice theory. It is interesting to note that the relationship between transactional distance theory and activity theory has also been explored within an earlier Open Learning article by Kang and Gyorke (2008). The article within this issue is worth studying since it provides useful guidance to researchers about the role of theory in the generation of knowledge, highlighting that theory is ‘one of the pillars of research’ and helps to ‘explain how things work and why’. The discussion about the differences between models, concepts and theories is thought provoking. In some respects, this first paper sets the scene for those that follow. The second paper, by Black (2020), Bissessar and Boolaky, from the University of Liverpool, UK, and the University of Lincoln, UK, shares a critical literature review of the use of the PsyCap (psychological capital) model in relation to university students’ learning. Psychological Capital is a model normally used to understand persistence in the workplace; here, the authors bring to the forefront the model’s relevance in the context of the changing landscape of online learning. The review, conducted in 2019, provides a history of online education and pedagogy, as well as the role of the PsyCap model and its application in higher education. The value and originality of this article comes from what it brings together. A broad number of theories are referenced which can, of course, be useful with facilitating further research. Moving from the theoretical to the practical, Lange’s article (2021), focused on students studying at the Open Cyber University in South Korea, explores how personalised e-learning experiences within massive online learning classes can reduce the impact of cognitive load. Lange applies a quantitative survey method and analyses responses from over 2000 students. This survey facilitates the exploration of e-learning personalisation (ELP) from different perspectives and its correlatio","PeriodicalId":46089,"journal":{"name":"Open Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46185701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
