This study investigated university students’ perceptions of facilitation strategies, learning motivation, and satisfaction, and the relationships between them in a cloud-based virtual classroom in mainland China. The results of an online questionnaire survey from a sample of 7,210 university students showed that students perceived high levels of facilitation strategies, learning motivation, and satisfaction. Students’ demographic characteristics, such as discipline, university type, gender, and grade, did not significantly affect their perceptions of facilitation strategies and learning outcomes. Instructor-student interaction and instructor innovation were positively related to student learning motivation and satisfaction whereas the relationships between student interaction and learning motivation and satisfaction were weak and had no practical meaning. The findings of this study have implications for creating more effective synchronous online learning environments and achieving desirable learning outcomes.

Abstract (1) Background: To investigate the knowledge, preventative practices and depression of Chinese university students living in Korea (‘International Group’) and Mainland China (‘Mainland Group’) during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, and furtherly explore the determinants of depression among these students; (2) Methods: The study was conducted using an online questionnaire tool designed by the Yonsei Global Health Center, with preventative knowledge and practice questions on COVID-19, as well as PHQ-9 (used to diagnose depression for patients). 420 college students were finally included in the analysis (171 students in Korea and 249 students in mainland China). This data was collected from March 23 to April 12, 2020; (3) Results: Majority of these students had a good level of knowledge of COVID-19. The ‘International Group’ did better than the ‘Mainland Group’ students regarding preventative practices, but the percentage with mild depression was higher among the ‘International Group’. Highly concerned about family members, highly concerned about getting COVID-19, and having a suspicion of contact with patients increased the depression state among the subjects. Meanwhile, taking preventative behaviors more comprehensively decreased the depression state of both groups; (4) Conclusions: During the pandemic of COVID-19, the depression status of ‘International Group’ students was significantly severer than that in ‘Mainland Group’. While the depression status of these two groups’ students was correlated to highly concerning family members and getting COVID-19 and having a suspicion of contact with patients. Therefore, psychological counseling and education programs are needed in order to support and improve the mental health of ‘international group’s students.

To investigate the knowledge, preventive practices, and depression of Chinese university students living in South Korea and Mainland China during the COVID-19 outbreak and explore the determinants of depression among these students, an online cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted from 23 March to 12 April 2020. The online questionnaire included questions on knowledge and preventive practices related to COVID-19, and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 was used to diagnose depressive symptoms. A total of 420 Chinese university students were finally included in the study (171 students from South Korea and 249 students from Mainland China). The majority of these students had a good level of knowledge of COVID-19. Students living in South Korea displayed better preventive practices than those living in Mainland China; however, the proportion of students (28.7%) with moderate-to-severe depression in this group was relatively higher than that (18.9%) of the Mainland Group (χ2 = 5.50, p < 0.05). More severe depression was related to high levels of concern about family members and contracting COVID-19 as well as suspecting themselves of having come into contact with patients. Displaying more preventive behaviors decreased the depressive symptoms in both groups. These data could be used as a reference for further studies in different regions to take measures (e.g., psychological counseling and encouragement for physical activities) to reduce depressive symptoms in university students.

This study examined the relationships between the role of the instructor and university students’ learning outcomes in cloud-based classrooms during the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic. The results of an online survey of 7,210 university students in mainland China revealed that the students’ perceived learning outcomes and learning satisfaction were positively related to instructor innovation and negatively related to instructor performance. Instructional support was positively related to the students’ perceived learning outcomes but not directly related to their learning satisfaction. The students’ academic self-efficacy mediated the influence of instructional support and instructor innovation on their perceived learning outcomes and learning satisfaction. The results contribute to knowledge of the role instructors play in facilitating students’ learning outcomes in higher education and suggest ways to improve the learning environment and learning outcomes, especially in cloud-based virtual classrooms.

Perceived employability has been found to be related to the career development and well-being of both working adults and university students. In a first initiative to examine perceived employability among nonlocal Chinese university students, we collected data from a sample of 246 graduating students who had come from Mainland China to study in Hong Kong. After controlling for demographic variables and migration intentions, we found that perceived employability was explained by career exploration, relational support, acculturative hassles, and the assimilation strategy of acculturation. Career exploration was also found to mediate the relationship between the assimilation strategy of acculturation and perceived employability. We discuss the implications of these findings for theory building and career guidance practices regarding the perceived employability and career guidance of nonlocal and international Chinese students.

Positive Feelings

This study focuses on learner reactions to a discussion project based on student-generated materials (SGM). SGM are linked to authenticity, investment in learning, motivation, and positive learning outcomes. However, SGM may represent a new and daunting experience for students unaccustomed to participatory learning. This study examines the reaction of Japanese university students to an SGM project based on creating discussion and decision-making scenarios for others to use later. Results from questionnaire data indicate that students have positive feelings about using materials created by peers. They show interest and engagement, and request more opportunities to work with materials created by other students. However, they feel less positively about actually creating such materials. They cite difficulty in finding an appropriate topic and writing clear background information and instructions. The pattern is somewhat related to language level with lower proficiency students showing a stronger preference for using others' materials rather than creating them. 本論は、学生が作成した教材(SGM)を使用したディスカッションプロジェクトへの学習者の反応について検証する。SGMの使用は、学生のやる気を増し、学習成果を向上させ、学習内容や学習するという経験自体にもより強い結びつきを感じさせるという報告がある。しかし、積極的に授業に参加する環境に慣れていない学生にとっては、SGMの作成は、まったく新しい、とまどう経験でもある。本論では、他の学生が授業で使用するSGM作成プロジェクトに参加した、日本の大学生の反応を検証する。具体的には、ディスカッショントピックを決定し、その結果結論を導き出すまでのシナリオの作成を行った。そのSGMを使用した学生からは、自分と同じ立場の学生が作成した教材の使用に対し前向きな反応があった。興味や積極的な取り組みが示され、他の学生が作成した教材をもっと使用したいという意見もあった。一方、適切なトピックの選択や分かりやすい指示をするのは難しいという理由で、自分自身がそういった教材を作成することについては、あまり積極的な反応ではなかった。その傾向はレベルによるところもあり、レベルが低い学生ほど、教材作成よりもそれを使用する立場のほうが良いという意見だった。
