Abstract

The main purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between attitude towards online learning and online learning self-efficacy, and the satisfaction of agricultural students with online learning. To achieve this goal in this research, the descriptive method was used. The population of the study consisted of B.Sc. students in the agriculture faculty of Arak University (N=230), from which 112 students were selected by using online software. Simple random sampling was employed in the selection of the respondents. A questionnaire was developed to gather data. Validity and reliability of the research instrument were confirmed based on the evaluation of a panel of experts and Cronbach's alpha coefficient, respectively. The results indicated that the students' attitude was high, and their self-efficacy and satisfaction were intermediate. The results of the correlation analysis showed a positive and significant relationship between attitude and online learning self-efficacy and students' online learning satisfaction. Stepwise regression also revealed that attitude and online learning self-efficacy can significantly predict 29 percent of the variation in the online learning satisfaction of students. The recommendations of this study are expected to be a baseline for future improvement in online learning satisfaction.
