Abstract:
In the context of the increasing digitization of education, online teachers' competence and the affective factors of digital competence, psychological resilience, and self-efficacy have become prominent areas of academic inquiry. However, there is a dearth of extant research addressing the interactions between these variables in an online teaching Chinese as a foreign language (TCFL) environment. This study investigated the relationships among the digital competence, psychological resilience, and self-efficacy of online TCFL teachers via quantitative research methods. The questionnaires were administered to 610 online TCFL teachers, and the data were analyzed via structural equation modeling. The results indicate that digital competence and psychological resilience can significantly predict online teachers' self-efficacy, and that the relationship between psychological resilience and self-efficacy can be significantly moderated by digital competence. This finding not only provides novel perspectives and insights for enhancing online teaching effectiveness, particularly in the domain of online foreign language instruction, but also complements and extends self-efficacy theory from the perspective of social cognitive theory.
