Abstract

The aim of the study is to identify the factors affecting students' satisfaction and performance regarding online classes during the pandemic period of COVID-19 and to establish the relationship between these variables. The study is quantitative in nature, and the data were collected from 544 respondents through online survey who were studying the business management (B.B.A or M.B.A) or hotel management courses in Indian universities. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the proposed hypotheses. The results show that four independent factors used in the study viz. quality of instructor, course design, prompt feedback, and expectation of students positively impact students' satisfaction and further student's satisfaction positively impact students' performance. For educational management, these four factors are essential to have a high level of satisfaction and performance for online courses. This study is being conducted during the epidemic period of COVID- 19 to check the effect of online teaching on students' performance.

  • Gopal et al. found that quality of instructor and ability to use technological tools is an important element in influencing student engagement.

    “In a study by Gopal et al. [57], it was found that quality of instructor and the ability to use technological tools is an important element in influencing students engagement.”

    From Impact of online learning on student's performance and engagement: a systematic review (2024) · cites this paper as [57]

    The Discussion reports that instructor quality was the most prominent factor affecting students’ satisfaction with online classes, and the Implications section says instructors needed to develop technical skills. The paper does not report a finding that instructor quality or ability to use technological tools influenced student engagement; its reported outcome is satisfaction, not engagement. The indexed passages provide section labels but no page numbers. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
