COVID-19’s impact on learning processes in Australian university students

et al. 2022

The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) has accentuated the role and interplay of numerous educational factors, inviting pedagogical research concerning online education. Using self-determination theory's basic psychological needs and fundamental learning theories, identified educational factors were integrated into three pathways: (1) autonomy, technology acceptance, and self-regulation of learning; (2) relatedness, authentic happiness, and a classroom community; and (3) competency, harmonious passion, and trait conscientiousness. This study extends educational research by elucidating the relationships between psychological need fulfilment, educational factors, and students' expectations of their future grades during the impact of COVID-19. Australian university students (N = 226, 77% female) completed questionnaires assessing their experience of home isolation, factors of each hypothesised pathway, and their expected grades. Structural equation modelling revealed that higher need fulfilment significantly predicted engagement in educational factors and that educational factors are complexly interrelated, providing resilience, motivation, and the mechanisms that facilitate learning. Most importantly, relatedness between academics and students positively influenced all learning pathways. Reciprocal determinism demonstrated the most substantial association with expected grades, and new insight was gained into the interrelationships of passion, trait conscientiousness, and self-regulation of learning.

“…Sample Item: 'I am aware of the meaning of life'. The scale was developed to examine the concept of authentic happiness (Seligman, 2004) and is a reliable and valid scale to ascertain the authentic happiness levels of university students with an internal consistency of α = 0.84 (Sanli et al, 2019).…”

“…Overall, 52% of the 732 participants are males and 48% are females. With regards to age, 21% (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24), 19% (25-34), 17% (35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44), 13% (45-54), 13% (55-64), 11% (65-74), and 6% (75+). Since our study aims at investigating whether there are differences between the gender groups (males and females) and age groups (younger adults and older adults) in their association with the distinct SWB components, it is therefore important to state that for the age group analysis, we selected and considered participants belonging to two age groups that are clearly different which is the standard practice.…”

(1) Background: Subjective well-being (SWB) is an individual’s judgment about their overall well-being. Research has shown that high subjective well-being contributes to overall health. SWB consists of both Affective and Cognitive dimensions. Existing studies on SWB are limited in two major ways: first, they focused mainly on the Affective dimension. Second, most existing studies are focused on individuals from the Western and Asian nations; (2) Methods: To resolve these weaknesses and contribute to research on personalizing persuasive health interventions to promote SWB, we conducted a large-scale study of 732 participants from Nigeria to investigate what factors affect their SWB using both the Affective and Cognitive dimensions and how distinct SWB components relates to different gender and age group. We employed the Structural Equation Model (SEM) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to develop models showing how gender and age relate to the distinct components of SWB; (3) Results: Our study reveals significant differences between gender and age groups. Males are more associated with social well-being and satisfaction with life components while females are more associated with emotional well-being. As regards age, younger adults (under 24) are more associated with social well-being and happiness while older adults (over 65) are more associated with psychological well-being, emotional well-being, and satisfaction with life. (4) Conclusions: The results could inform designers of the appropriate SWB components to target when personalizing persuasive health interventions to promote overall well-being for people belonging to various gender and age groups. We offer design guidelines for tailoring persuasive intervention to increase SWB based on an individual’s age and gender group. Finally, we map SWB components to possible persuasive technology design strategies that can be employed to implement them in persuasive interventions design.

This study aims to examine the psychometric properties of the Indonesian version of the authentic happiness scale (AHS), which includes an analysis of unidimensionality and item fit using the CFA and Rasch Model. Validity and reliability. This scale consists of authentic and fluctuating happiness consisting of 20 items, ten items each. The scale was administered to 112 educators as samples taken by purposive sampling. In the CFA unidimensionality test, ten items were eliminated to obtain a fit model, and ten items were re-examined and analyzed using the Rasch model. The above analysis results prove that AHS has good psychometric properties to be used in the Indonesian version
