Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to examine interaction between learning method and couse division on learning satisfaction and learning presence in the synchronous universities online class.
 Methods Based on such research theories, the study conducted an online survey of 309 Korean university stu-dents who took synchronous online class before September 2020.
 The questionnaire was developed through a prior study analysis, and 308 respondents, excluding one unfaithful case, were targeted for analysis. The data was analyzed by using the Microsoft Excel spread sheet and SPSS.22 program to verify the research hypothesis. The reliability test was conducted to verity the internal consistency by calculating Cronbach' α coefficient. In addition, a Two-way ANOVA was conducted to analyze the differences in learning satisfaction between he learning method and course division, and a multivariate analysis(MANOVA) was conducted to analyze the differences in the learning presence according to he learning method and course division. Results First, in synchronous online classes at universities, the learning satisfaction level according to the type of course division was found to be no significant difference, and there were significant differences only in the type of learning method. Second, the presence of learning about the course division did not reveal any significant difference. Third, in synchronous classes, the interaction of learning satisfaction with the interaction of course di-vision and learning method was found to be ineffective. Fourth, the interaction effect of the course division and learning method on the learning presence was shown in synchronous online classes.
 Conclusions The synchronous online lectures were difficult to completely replace existing face-to-face lectures. Therefore, based on the characteristics of the platform on which synchronous online lectures are conducted and the learner's needs, a continuous study of the model of synchronous online classes should be processed.
