This study examines the influence of perceived social presence on online graduate students' value and expectancy beliefs. Forty‐nine participants enrolled in an online teacher leadership graduate program completed questionnaires that measured perceived social presence and value and expectancy beliefs. A series of simple linear regression analyses revealed that social presence positively predicted students' value for online learning. Social presence did not predict participants' expectations of future success in teacher leadership. Results partially supported the assumption of the expectancy‐value model that motivational beliefs are influenced by the information students receive from social partners. Moreover, the study tested and confirmed the application of the model in online settings and for students pursuing graduate education.

社会环境对在线研究生课程中的价值和期望信念的影响：社会存在的作用

这项研究检验了感知的社会存在对在线研究生的价值和期望信念的影响。参加在线教师领导力研究生课程的49名参与者完成了问卷，这些问卷测量了感知到的社会存在，价值和期望信念。一系列简单的线性回归分析显示，社交存在可以正面预测学生的在线学习价值。社会存在并不能预测参与者对教师领导力未来成功的期望。结果部分支持了期望值模型的假设，即动机信念受学生从社会伙伴那里获得的信息的影响。此外，该研究测试并确认了该模型在在线环境中的应用以及对追求研究生教育的学生的应用。
