Case: School of Nursing, NUMS

Abstract

Universities around the world have been using electronic learning systems more and more in recent years. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Mongolian universities are changing the way of teaching online and thus starting from the second semester of the 2019-2020 academic year. The purpose of this study is to investigate the satisfaction of students towards e-learning and the factors affecting it.

321 first-year students of the School of Nursing of NUMS participated in this survey, the survey questionnaire filled in Google form, and received by electronically. The relationship between satisfaction and its influencing factors was evaluated by using the Pearson test (correlation coefficient).

According to the indicators of the research results, students' satisfaction is the most satisfied with learning materials (4.16), student engagement (4.15), and the lowest with e-educational technology (3.25). Due to this, there is a didactic need to improve the quality of e-learning and to update the lesson technology.

Students' satisfaction level had a direct strong positive correlation (r=0.65) with grade (r=0.65) and a weak direct positive correlation (r=0.38) with lesson access (p<0.001), and e-learning satisfaction scores had a direct correlation (p<0.001) to the quality of teaching, supply of learning materials, assessment, and student engagement.
