Purpose

The pandemic of COVID-19 has pushed most of the classroom learning to an online environment with which most of the people were not familiar. This study aims to investigate the importance of social interaction on the effectiveness of online learning during the pandemic when social distancing norms are in place.

Design/methodology/approach

This study uses the partial least square (PLS) structural equation modeling (SEM) approach, a nonparametric method based on total variance, using the SmartPLS software 3.0. The data were collected using the snowball sampling technique from the students who were learning online due to the pandemic COVID-19 and asked them to forward the survey link in their network.

Findings

The results suggested that social interaction has a positive significant impact on the effectiveness of online learning. However, this effect is reduced in the presence of social distance norms as people give more importance to continuous learning and to saving lives rather than socializing in the online environment.

Originality/value

The study will be helpful for instructors and educational institutes to formalize the strategies to enhance social interaction in online learning and analyze their pedagogy to improve effectiveness.

在线学习的社交互动和有效性——在 COVID-19 大流行期间保持社交距离的调节作用

目的

COVID-19 的大流行将大部分课堂学习推到了大多数人都不熟悉的在线环境中。本研究旨在调查社交距离规范到位时,社交互动对大流行期间在线学习有效性的重要性。

设计/方法/方法

本研究使用偏最小二乘 (PLS) 结构方程建模 (SEM) 方法,这是一种基于总方差的非参数方法,使用 SmartPLS 软件 3.0。这些数据是使用滚雪球采样技术从因 COVID-19 大流行而在线学习的学生那里收集的,并要求他们在其网络中转发调查链接。

发现

结果表明,社交互动对在线学习的有效性有显着的积极影响。然而,在存在社交距离规范的情况下,这种影响会降低,因为人们更重视持续学习和挽救生命,而不是在在线环境中进行社交。

原创性/价值

该研究将有助于教师和教育机构正式制定加强在线学习中的社交互动的策略,并分析其教学法以提高有效性。
