A Research into Factors that Influence College Students' Enthusiasm for Learning in an Online Learning Environment

Institutions of higher learning in China actively promote the deep integration of information technology (IT) with education and teaching by using big data technology to collect and analyze data on education and teaching activities as well as students’ behaviors, to provide feedback. The objective is to support and promote personalized learning and targeted teaching in the online learning environment. The data on students’ learning effectiveness are collected timely and accurately during online teaching. Based on these data, teaching and learning activities are adjusted periodically to enhance the learning enthusiasm of college students and further achieve the goal of high-quality online teaching. In this study, an influencing factor index system for college students’ learning enthusiasm in the online learning environment was established based on existing literature. The relationships of learning enthusiasm with learning needs, motivation, attitude, and interest were measured through structural equation modeling. Next, the hierarchy of 17 factors influencing college students’ learning enthusiasm was analyzed using interpretive structural modeling. The results reveal that the influencing factor index system for college students’ learning enthusiasm in the online learning environment is highly scientific and reasonable. Learning needs, motivation, and attitude have an evident promoting effect on learning enthusiasm. Four factors, namely, numbered B5, C4, D1, and D3, are the direct factors affecting learning enthusiasm. Moreover, three factors, namely, numbered A4, B3, and C3, are the fundamental reasons that affect learning enthusiasm. The research results have significant reference values in identifying the causes of the change in learning enthusiasm induced by the online learning environment and proposing pertinent measures to enhance college students’ learning enthusiasm.

Factors Impacting Students' Intention for Sustainable Entrepreneurship

This study presents the findings of an extensive investigation into the variables that influence college students' plans to engage in sustainable business practices. The research set out to determine what characteristics had the most impact on students' propensity to engage in sustainable entrepreneurial activities and then evaluate those results. In this quantitative study, a total of 370 persons were selected at random to take part in an online survey. The study utilized SPSS and Amos, and for data reliability testing, the researchers used Cronbach's alpha, exploratory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling. The results showed that characteristics like subjective norms and risk-taking propensity influenced students' sustainable entrepreneurial intentions in a positive way. The extent to which students felt social pressure to perform or engage in specific activities (as measured by subjective norms) was a significant predictor of their plans for future business endeavours.

Investigating determinants of pro-environmental behaviors amongst UAE university students through Q-methodology

Numerous high-tech advancements have established a healthy environment, reduced consumer consumption of non-renewable resources, and reduced the total ecological impact on the environment. Despite this technology, many people still do not have sustainable behavior ingrained in them. Environmental sustainability is threatened by human behaviors, and environmental choices made by individuals are correlated with pro-environmental behaviors. This research focuses on the relationship between people and the environment, the difficulties that have arisen as a result, and the factors that influence university students' pro-environmental behaviors. It explores the factors influencing university students in the United Arab Emirates to have positive environmental attitudes and behaviors using the Q methodology. The results elucidate several discourses, including connections between knowledge and attitude, the importance of formal and informal education, and necessary economic policies and incentives. The results of this research are consistent with those of other recent studies that place more emphasis on attitude than motivation when it comes to changing behavior towards the environment.

Research on the Communication Alienation and Cracking Path of College Students in the Internet Era

Jurgen Habermas is a world-renowned philosopher, the theory of communication behavior is one of the important theoretical contributions of Habermas, and studies the problem of the alienation of communication among college students in the Internet era. It is not only beneficial to analyze the factors arising from the alienation phenomenon, but also helpful to find a better way to solve the problem of communication alienation. The speed of network technology development is accelerating, and the influence of college students is more and more profound. Habermas believes that communication rationality is the basis of communication behavior, including the elements of understandable language, intersubjectivity, environment and so on. Based on Habermas's communication behavior theory, analyzing the communication alienation phenomenon of college students in the Internet era, it also puts forward the path to solve the alienation of college students' communication: college students should communicate rationally, make the communication language appropriate, two-way interaction between the subjects, and return to the real world.

With the rapid development of the economy and the rise of peoples con-sumption level, the problem of garbage is becoming a more and more severe challenge. Meanwhile, colleges, as a place with a high concentration of stu-dents, have also more serious garbage sorting problems. Therefore, this paper will be devoted to analyzing the factors that influence college students gar-bage sorting behavior in the post-epidemic period. To start with, a question-naire based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) model was made to collect students data. Then the KMO tests and AMOS Structural Equation Fitting were conducted to verify the validity of the data and structure. After confirming that the data is effective, the data will be analyzed by building models including the Measurement Model of Empirical Analysis Framework, Overall model fitting, Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) model and original Model. Lastly, with the optimization of the mediation effect and confirmatory factor analysis, the conclusion can be drawn that the student participants tend to adopt garbage-sorting behavior in both willingness and action. And the results show that they also have a positive attitude, good subjective norms, and strong perceived behavior control for the garbage sorting behavior on campus.

The Impact of the Lifting of COVID-19 Restrictions on College Students’ Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) in Self-Medication with Antibacterial Agents

Objective: This study aims to investigate the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) of college students regarding self-medication with antibacterial agents before and after the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, as well as the impact of the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions on college students’ KAP towards self-medication with antibacterial agents. We analyze the factors influencing college students’ self-medication with antibacterial agents and provide relevant reference data for the rational use of antibacterial agents for self-medication among college students. Methods: Non-probability sampling methods, including convenience sampling and quota sampling, were employed to collect data samples. College students were invited to participate in an online questionnaire survey that they completed independently, and the data were entered into Excel software for statistical analysis using SPSS 26.0 software. Results: Independent samples t-test and analysis of variance revealed that, before the lifting of pandemic restrictions, female college students scored higher than male students in KAP towards self-medication with antibacterial agents, with all differences being statistically significant (P<0.05). However, after the lifting of pandemic restrictions, the gender differences in these aspects diminished; College students from rural areas scored significantly higher than their urban counterparts in the knowledge of antibacterial agents both before and after the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions (P<0.05); Moreover, medical students had significantly higher attitude scores compared to science and engineering students before the lifting of pandemic restrictions (P<0.05), while social science students scored significantly higher in practice compared to science and engineering students both before and after the lifting of pandemic restrictions (P<0.05). Paired samples t-test indicated a significant improvement in knowledge and practice towards self-medication with antibacterial agents after the lifting of pandemic restrictions, with attitude showing no significant change. Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that, before the pandemic, there were significant differences in KAP based on gender and grade. However, after experiencing the pandemic, there were no longer significant differences in KAP among different genders and different grades, and this could be attributed to the impact of health education and campaigns during the pandemic. Conclusion: The lifting of COVID-19 restrictions has had a positive impact on college students’ knowledge and practice towards self-medication with antibacterial agents. Before and after the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, the KAP of college students regarding self-medication with antibacterial agents were influenced by multiple factors. One important measure to enhance the rational use of antibacterial agents for self-medication among college students is to conduct health education courses in universities. Public health should pay attention to online media channels.

A Study on the Factors Influencing College Students' Autonomous Learning Ability from the Perspective of Online Learning

Online learning has become one of the directions for major universities to achieve educational reform, and the online learning ability of college students is the key to the effectiveness of online education. Based on the Biggs3P theory, an online learning strength table was constructed, and factor analysis was used to construct college students' online learning ability. Regression analysis was conducted to identify the influencing factors of online learning ability and determine the mediating role of deep learning orientation. The empirical results indicate that multiple factors in the online learning environment, including but not limited to learning resources, student interaction, teacher support, and learning evaluation, all have varying degrees of positive effects on college students' deep learning orientation. Among them, the learning evaluation and teacher support of online learning have a strong influence, while the technical usability of online learning platforms has the weakest influence. In response, suggestions are proposed to enrich the construction of online learning resources, enhance the interactive experience of online learning students, strengthen the diversified development guided by online teachers, and build a multi-dimensional online learning evaluation mechanism.

The influence of sport motivation on college students' subjective exercise experience: a mediation model with moderation.

The degree to which an individual experiences a positive emotional state after exercise is a measurement of how much enjoyment sports bring to the individual. This can also be seen as the individual's essential motivation for engaging in sports, and an indirect means of improving the individual's physical health. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the factors that affect college students' subjective exercise experience and their effecting mechanism, thereby providing a basis for promoting college students' positive emotional experience after exercise. A questionnaire survey on 600 college students was conducted to examine the mediating effect of sport-confidence on the relationship between college students' sport motivation and their subjective exercise experience, and to investigate whether this process is moderated by the feelings of inadequacy. The indirect effect of sport-confidence was significant (95% CI [0.133, 0.276]), and the index of moderated mediation Bootstrap 95% CI [0.003, 0.017] did not contain 0. The results indicated that: (1) sport-confidence had a partial mediating effect between college students' sport motivation and their subjective exercise experience; (2) the mediating effect of sport-confidence was moderated by the feelings of inadequacy, and the feelings of inadequacy moderated the latter half path of the mediating process of sport motivation - sport-confidence - subjective exercise experience. Therefore, the influence of college students' sport motivation on their subjective exercise experience is a moderated mediating model.

 Methods This study collected data from 210 university students in regions located in A and D between June 2022 and August 2022. To analyze the data, differences between variables according to the subjects' general characteristics were analyzed using t-tests and ANOVA, while the correlation between variables was analyzed using Pearson's Correlation Coefficient. To analyze the mediating effect of interpersonal satisfaction in the relationship between depression and college life adjustment, hierarchical multiple regression analysis was performed.
 Results The average depression score was 0.45, the average interpersonal satisfaction score was 3.73, and the average college life score was 3.34. Depression significantly varied in terms of grade(F=5.252, p=.006), self-rated health(t=-3.664, p<.001) and residence type(F=3.171, p=.025). Interpersonal satisfaction in the relationship was significantly different in terms of age(t=2.755, p=.006), self-rated health(t=3.953, p<.001), residence type(F= 7.640, p<.001). Adjustment to college life significantly different varied in terms of age(t=3.362, p=.001), self-rated health(t=4.080, p<.001), academic performance(F=9.642, p<.001), and smoking status(t=2.384, p=.018). The subject's adjustment to college life was significantly correlated with depression (r=-0.314, p<.001) and interpersonal satisfaction (r=-0.447, p<.001). Interpersonal satisfaction was found to have a complete mediating effect on the relationship between depression and college life adjustment.
 Conclusions It is important to prioritize strategies that aim to reduce depression and improve interpersonal satisfaction as factors that influence college students' adjustment to college life.

What complex factors influence sleep quality in college students? PLS-SEM vs. fsQCA.

Sleep quality has a significant impact on the health-related quality of life, particularly among college students. This study proposes a framework for identifying factors that influence college students' sleep quality, including stress, self-control, bedtime habits, and neighborhood environment. The study employed a cross-sectional analytical approach on a convenience sample of 255 medical students from a private university in China during the 2021/2022 academic year, of which 80.39% (205) were women. Two complementary methodologies, partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), and fuzzy sets qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), were utilized in the study. The results of the PLS-SEM analysis suggest that Stress and Self-control act as mediating variables in the model, with Bedtime habits and Neighborhood environment influencing sleep quality through these variables. Additionally, the fsQCA analysis reveals that Bedtime habits and Neighborhood environment can combine with Stress and Self-control, respectively, to influence sleep quality. These findings provide insight into how multiple factors, such as Stress, Self-control, Bedtime habits, and Neighborhood environment, can impact college students' sleep quality, and can be used to develop intervention programs aimed at improving it. Moreover, the use of both methodologies enables the expansion of new methodological approaches that can be applied to different contexts.

College students’ academic stress during the Covid-19 pandemic: The influence of hardiness, coping strategy, social support, and demographic factorsand

Several research results show that during the COVID-19 pandemic, academic stress experienced by college students increased. They experience changes in how they learn, have difficulty staying focused, and are unproductive during the covid-19 pandemic. This study tests factors influencing college students’ academic stress during the covid-19 pandemic. We hypothesized that hardiness, coping strategy, social support, and demographic factors influence academic stress. The sampling technique employed a non-probability sampling technique with a purposive sampling type, with the criteria for college students in Jabodetabek who did distance learning during Covid-19 Pandemic. Three hundred-six participants met the research criteria. Data were collected by academic stress and hardiness scales and; adapting the interpersonal support evaluation list and coping styles scale. Validation of the research instrument using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) through Lisrel 8.8 software. Hypothesis testing using multiple regression with SPSS software version 20.0. Hardiness, coping strategy (problem-focused-coping and emotional-focused-coping), social support (tangible, appraisal, self-esteem, and belonging)- and demographic factors (gender, level of study) have a significant effect on college student’s academic stress during the covid-19 pandemic (r2=28.2%, p<.001). Variables that have a significant effect on academic stress are emotional-focused-coping (B=0.361, p<.001), self-esteem-support (B=0.117, p<.050), belonging-support (B=-0.271, p<.001) and gender (B=6.885, p<.001). Academic stress is influenced by hardiness, coping strategies, social support, and demographic factors. College students’ academic stress will decrease if students get social support in the form of self-esteem-support and belonging support. The use of highly emotional-focused coping strategies will increase academic stress.

The influence of proactive personality on entrepreneurial intentions among college students: a moderated mediation effect

Objective: to explore the mechanism between proactive personality and college students' entrepreneurial intention. Methods: A sample of 1,021 college students was recruited in the study to complete proactive personality scale, benign competitive attitude scale, employment pressure scale and entrepreneurial intention scale. Results: (1) Benign competitive attitude partially mediated the effect of proactive personality on entrepreneurial intention. (2) Employment pressure moderated this mediation effect of benign competitive attitude. When employment pressure was low, with the increase of proactive personality, benign competitive attitude and entrepreneurial intention had an ascending trend. But when employment pressure was high, with the increase of proactive personality, college students' benign competitive attitude and entrepreneurial intention had an obviously ascending trend. Conclusion: Proactive personality has a moderated mediating effect influence on entrepreneurial intentions of college students. Proactive personality could directly influence college students' entrepreneurial intention, as well as ultimately influence entrepreneurial intentions of college students by influencing benign competitive attitudes. Employment pressure enhanced the effect of proactive personality on college students' benign competitive attitude and entrepreneurial intention.

Under the background of ideological and political education, the path optimization of college students’ consumption outlook education based on AdaBoost model

Abstract To better help college students establish correct scientific consumption concepts, this paper constructs an analysis model of college students’ consumption views based on the AdaBoost model in augmented learning. Firstly, the consumption data of college students are input into the analysis model and analyzed, and the weights of each sample are initialized. Next, a suitable weak regression model is selected, the corresponding number of iterations is determined, and the current sample weight distribution is updated according to the weak regressor weight coefficients. Using root mean square error adjustment and determining the threshold value, iterative operations are performed. Finally, a strong regression model is derived from analyzing the main factors influencing college students’ consumption perceptions. To verify that the proposed optimization path can help college students establish correct consumption concepts, simulation experiments are designed in this paper. The results show that after relying on peer education to penetrate scientific consumption in the context of Civic Education, some students’ remaining monthly living expenses increased from 300 yuan to 500 yuan. After strengthening self-education to encourage the practice of scientific consumption, the percentage of monthly living expenses stored by male students increased from 5% to 16%. Thus, based on the AdaBoost model, we can derive the factors that affect college students’ consumption to optimize the education path of college students’ consumption concept in a targeted way.

Metu Students’ College Life Satisfaction

The research was conducted to identify the factors that influence college students' satisfaction with their college experience. Firstly, the study was focused on the literature review to determine relevant factors that have been previously studied in the literature. Then, the survey analysis examined three main independent factors that have been found to be related to college students' satisfaction: Major Satisfaction, Social Self-Efficacy, and Academic Performance. The findings of the study suggested that the most important factor affecting students' satisfaction with their college experience is their satisfaction with their chosen major. This means that students who are satisfied with the major they have chosen are more likely to be overall satisfied with their college experience. It's worth noting that, while the study found that major satisfaction is the most crucial factor, it doesn't mean that other factors such as Social Self-Efficacy, Academic Performance, and Campus Life Satisfaction are not important. Based on these findings, it is recommend that students prioritize their major satisfaction when making college choices in order to maximize their overall satisfaction with their college experience.

Effects of COVID-19 Mandates on College Students’ Exercise Experiences and Psychosocial Health

Based on the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there has been a 25% increase in anxiety and depression worldwide, especially among young adults and women who were hit the worst, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Exercise participation has several health benefits, including improved mental health and well-being during covid-19. Additionally, the highest levels of health and well-being are observed among those with the highest levels of autonomy. Given that autonomy and free will were significantly limited during the Covid-19 pandemic, the purpose of this study was to examine how covid-19 mandates influenced college students’ exercise experiences and psychosocial health. The participants included 13 ethnically diverse undergraduate students (females = 10; males = 3; Asian = 5; Latino/Hispanic = 4; Caucasian = 3; Native American = 1) of varied educational backgrounds. This was a phronetic, qualitative study within two university (U) settings: one on the West Coast (WU) and the other in the South (SU). Based on the phronetic analysis, three themes emerged regarding the effects of lockdowns, heavy screen use, and mask mandates. In the first theme, most students, especially those with longer stay-at-home mandates (WU), expressed decrements in or complete cease of exercise participation. In the second theme, a few students found more time to socialize and reflect on their well-being. In the third theme, negative psychosocial experiences (especially in WU) were reported like depression, anxiety, and challenges in social relationships. Kinesiology experts and public health officials should reconsider covid-19 mitigation measures by respecting human agency.

대학생의 과제 수행에서 ChatGPT의 사용 의도 분석

This study examines the intention to use ChatGPT among college students using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). We investigate perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, information quality, perceived risk, immediate connectivity, and reliability. Our findings support the hypothesis that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, information quality, and reliability positively influence college students' intention to use ChatGPT. However, perceived risk and immediate access do not significantly impact intention. Additionally, personal innovation moderates these relationships, with higher personal innovativeness leading to stronger perceptions of ChatGPT's usefulness, ease of use, information quality, and reliability. Individuals with low personal innovativeness are more influenced by perceived risk.
