A structural equation model of online learning: investigating self-efficacy, informal digital learning, self-regulated learning, and course satisfaction.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education increasingly relies on online learning, necessitating a nuanced understanding of crucial factors impacting learning experiences. This research investigates the intricate relationships among online learning self-efficacy, online self-regulated learning, informal digital learning of English (IDLE), and online course satisfaction within the unique context of EFL learners.

Methods

The study involved 563 intermediate college students from various national universities in China. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the data, providing comprehensive insights into the relationships among the identified variables.

Results

The results revealed significant insights. Both online learning self-efficac
