Exploring Students Online Learning Behavioral Engagement in University: Factors, Academic Performance and Their Relationship.

As online learning platforms become prevalent, online learning has been an important way for college students. Online learning engagement, as an evaluation of online learning quality, is crucial for enhancing learning quality and promoting higher education by investigating college students' engagement and its influencing factors in the online learning environment. This paper aims to identify key factors affecting college students' online learning behavioral engagement. Based on a literature review, the Delphi expert consultation method was used to build an assessment framework covering five dimensions (participation, concentration, interaction, challenge, and self-monitoring) with sixteen specific indicators. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) determined the weights of these factors. Then, data from 63 students using the "Ketangpai" online learning platform were collected and analyzed to explore the correlation and predictive relationships between online learning behavior indicators and academic achievements. The results showed a strong correlation between the frequency of accessing online learning resources and long-term online learning and academic performance, and a prediction model was established. The framework offers theoretical and methodological insights for designing online learning activities and evaluating learning quality. It supports intervening in and assessing college students' online learning processes and improving learning quality. Also, exploring the relationship helps educators formulate personalized online teaching strategies, improving online education effectiveness and students' learning experiences.
