Purpose

This study extends the literature on the effectiveness of e-learning by investigating the role of student engagement on perceived learning effectiveness (PLE) in the context of Indian higher education. Further, the impact of personal factors (Internet self-efficacy (ISE)) and environmental factors (information, system and service quality parameters) on various dimensions of student engagement (behavioral, emotional and cognitive) is studied through the lens of social cognitive theory (SCT).

Design/methodology/approach

An online management information systems (MIS) course is delivered to a batch of 412 postgraduate students. An online survey was conducted to measure the factors affecting their PLE. In addition to the survey, a summative assessment is conducted to evaluate the students in terms of their marks to assess their achievements (actual learning). Covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) is used to validate the developed research model.

Findings

It is discovered that the IS (information system) quality parameters (environmental factors) positively impact PLE. The ISE affects the PLE through the mediating effect of all the dimensions of student engagement. Furthermore, there exists a positive relationship between PLE and student marks.

Originality/value

This study develops a research model using personal and environmental factors to understand PLE through the lens of SCT and then empirically validates it. The psychological process from the students' ISE to the PLE is explained through the mediating effects of various dimensions of engagement. Further, it is found that the PLE is positively related to student marks.

电子学习的有效性：学生参与对感知学习有效性的中介作用

目的

本研究通过调查印度高等教育背景下学生参与对感知学习效率 (PLE) 的作用，扩展了有关电子学习有效性的文献。此外，通过社会认知理论的视角研究了个人因素（互联网自我效能感（ISE））和环境因素（信息、系统和服务质量参数）对学生参与的各个维度（行为、情感和认知）的影响(SCT)。

设计/方法论/方法

向一批412名研究生开设了在线管理信息系统（MIS）课程。进行了一项在线调查以衡量影响他们 PLE 的因素。除了调查之外，还会进行总结性评估，根据学生的分数来评估他们的成就（实际学习）。基于协方差的结构方程模型 (CB-SEM) 用于验证开发的研究模型。

发现

发现 IS（信息系统）质量参数（环境因素）对 PLE 有积极影响。ISE 通过学生参与的所有维度的中介效应影响 PLE。此外，PLE 和学生分数之间存在正相关关系。

创意/价值

本研究开发了一个使用个人和环境因素的研究模型，通过 SCT 的镜头来理解 PLE，然后对其进行实证验证。从学生的 ISE 到 PLE 的心理过程通过参与的各个维度的中介效应来解释。此外，发现 PLE 与学生成绩呈正相关。
