Abstract

In the context of the still severe epidemic, online teaching will still be the first choice for education and teaching. However, there is a big gap between the learning effect of online teaching and the learning effect of traditional offline teaching. At the same time, students' sense of learning experience through online learning has relatively weak self-awareness. Therefore, this study uses the questionnaire survey method to conduct a survey on 166 online students, and uses the data analysis method to conduct reliability and validity test, correlation analysis and regression analysis on the sample data to verify whether the null hypothesis is established. The results show that H1: Conscious social presence has a positive effect on learning, H2: Emotional social presence has a positive effect on learning, and H3: Cognitive social presence has a positive effect on learning. All three hypotheses are valid, the social presence of online learners has a positive impact on their learning effect. At the same time, social presence has a direct impact on the learning effect of online learners, and its regression equation is: Y=0.229*a+0.543*c. In the online online classroom, online students can be improved by turning on the camera, frequent communication and interaction, more clearly formulating teaching tasks and explaining knowledge points, etc.
