During the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, over 1.5 billion students worldwide have been deprived of access to traditional learning. This situation has necessitated the use of social distancing-based educational methods; consequently, a tremendous shift towards e-learning has been observed. This study assesses medical students' social anxiety levels in e-learning environments. The study was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, the original Turkish Social Anxiety Scale for E-Learning Environments (SASE) was adapted in English and tested for validity and reliability. This instrument has two subscales: social anxiety in learner-learner interaction and in learner-instructor interaction. In the second stage, we explored the associations of gender, age, and perceived academic performance with medical students' social anxiety levels in e-learning environments. A total of 325 responses were analysed. Consistent with the original version, the adapted scale is a reliable and valid measure of social anxiety in e-learning. Social anxiety in e-learning was related to gender (p = 0.008) and age (p = 0.013). Social anxiety levels were higher in students with lower perceived performance during e-learning compared to students with enhanced performance, but the difference was not significant. The SASE is a useful instrument for evaluating social anxiety in e-learning environments across English educational frameworks. Considering the shift in social interaction environments, efforts are required to reduce medical students' social anxiety levels and enhance learning.

“…Lack of competency in the L2 appears to cause worry, dissatisfaction, and self‐consciousness in some students (Amengual‐Pizarro, 2018). Therefore, online communication activities may have a positive influence that decreases negative consequences such as low self‐confidence caused by social anxiety (Keskin et al., 2020).…”

“…In such distant learning circumstances, the student's willingness to interact with fellow classmates, their instructor, and course content may decrease feelings of apprehension associated with communication technology. Russell (2020) brought attention to the risk of elevated foreign language (FL) anxiety when using technology during the COVID‐19 crisis since levels of anxiety are compounded by having to both use English as a foreign language (EFL) and navigate communication technology (Aydin, 2011; et al., 2020).…”

Learners in videoconference‐mediated classrooms are expected to interact regardless of their varied demographic and behavioral characteristics, including susceptibility to foreign language (FL) anxiety. With a focus on apprehension, the present study aimed to better understand the influence students’ FL anxiety has on the relationship between learner interactions and academic self‐efficacy beliefs. To this end, questionnaire data was collected from 647 South Korean university students attending emergency remote online classes through Zoom's videoconference platform. Structural equation modeling was carried out to identify the mediating effect of FL classroom anxiety on the relationship between academic self‐efficacy beliefs and interactions. Findings revealed full mediation on the path coefficient from learner–learner interaction to learning expectations, while no mediation effect was observed between learner–instructor interactions and learning expectations. Increasing levels of learner–learner interactions were associated with increasing FL anxiety, partly explaining the positive path between learner–learner interactions and expected academic performance. Unlike learner–instructor interactions, learner–learner interactions increase communication anxiety, consequently decreasing expected learning outcomes.

Aim: This research was conducted to determine the effect of education on Human Papilloma Virus Infection and vaccine on Students' Social Anxiety and e-Learning Attitudes with Pecha Kucha and Traditional PowerPoint presentation methods. Materials and Methods:This study adopted a randomized experimental pretest-posttest control group design. The data were collected using the Student Information Form, the Social Anxiety Scale Regarding the e-Learning Environment and the Attitude Scale towards Mobile Learning. Results: When the after-education knowledge point averages of the intervention and control group students were compared; It was determined that the mean score of the students in the intervention group was higher than the mean score of the students in the control group. Conclusion: It has been concluded that the intervention group has a positive effect on students' learning success and mobile learning attitudes and is effective in reducing social anxiety towards e-learning.
