ABSTRACT

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating role of learning satisfaction in learning self-control and learning engagement in live online learning. 12,880 high school students are surveyed using the Chinese version of the learning self-control, learning satisfaction and learning engagement scale, and the correlation analysis showed that there is a positive correlation between learning self-control, learning satisfaction and learning engagement. The mediation effect analysis showed that after controlling for variables such as grade level, solitary or not, academic performance, and school level, learning satisfaction partially mediated the relationship between learning self-control and learning engagement, which means that students' self-control influenced their learning engagement through online teaching satisfaction. Thus, it is concluded that teachers in online teaching should enhance the quality and improve the teaching aspects to increase students' satisfaction, which in turn will enhance students' learning engagement and guarantee the effectiveness of online teaching.
