Abstract

Due to the government’s COVID-19 spacing restrictions, colleges have recently offered online classes by uploading recorded lectures on YouTube or their portal or through videoconferencing platforms such as ZOOM. This study attempted to investigate the influence of participation in online courses on learning satisfaction among college students majoring in cosmetology. For this, students from the department of cosmetology at 4-year colleges in Gwangju Metropolitan City were collected through convenience sampling. A pilot study was performed from March 22 to 30, 2021 while the primary survey was conducted from April 12 to 30, 2021, against 30 students. Among a total of 330 questionnaires distributed, 320 copies were collected. Excluding poorly answered ones, 305 copies were used for final analysis. The results found the followings: First, in terms of the influence of participation in online courses on learning satisfaction, learning participation was divided into four categories (opinion expression during class, class engagement, continuous participation and confidence), while learning satisfaction was classified into a single category. Second, learning participation in online courses revealed a statistically significant effect on learning satisfaction(p<.05, p<.001).
