The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has altered the global educational process. Many higher education institutions (HEIs) have quickly shifted the learning mode from physical classrooms to online platforms. Undoubtedly, self-regulated learning (SRL) is the key element that influences student satisfaction in online learning, yet students frequently struggle with the notion of online learning. Thus, it is crucial for learning institutions to facilitate and support their SRL skills. This study aims to examine the influences of perceived institutional support on students' online learning satisfaction. SRL is served a mediating role. The stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) model was adopted to support this study. A total of 420 students from private HEIs have voluntarily taken part in the online survey. By using structural equation modelling (SEM) together with bootstrapping, the results proved that students who perceive greater institutional support reported higher online learning satisfaction. Further, institutional support does affect students' SRL, which in turn affects the level of online learning satisfaction. This implies that it is important for students to integrate SRL into online learning environments to improve their satisfaction. The study is significant for educational institutions to improve the platform design, pedagogical practice, and online course design in the future.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
