The Relationship Between Distance Learning Methods and Satisfaction and Achievement of Chinese College Students:A Study of Quantitative Research
Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between distance learning methods and satisfaction and academic achievement among Chinese college students. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, education has been significantly impacted globally, prompting educational institutions to rapidly adopt technology to sustain teaching activities. In China, many universities have turned to online teaching models in response to the epidemic. This study aims to explore how distance learning methods affect student satisfaction and academic achievement. Quantitative data were collected and analyzed through questionnaires and standardized tests. The results showed a significant positive correlation between students' satisfaction with different distance learning methods and their academic achievement. The study also found that teacher performance, teacher-student interaction, curriculum evaluation and other factors are the main factors affecting student satisfaction. The findings provide insights for optimizing the distance education environment and improving student learning experience and satisfaction.
