Student personality traits impact e-learning satisfaction. Neuroticism negatively affects satisfaction, while agreeableness positively influences it, suggesting tailored online course designs are beneficial.
Area of Science:
- Educational Psychology
- Online Learning Research
- Student Well-being
Background:
- Learner satisfaction is key to effective education.
- Personality traits significantly shape educational experiences.
- Understanding personality-e-learning satisfaction links can improve instructional design.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the correlation between Big Five Personality Inventory traits and student satisfaction in e-learning.
- To identify specific personality dimensions influencing various facets of online course satisfaction.
Main Methods:
- Cross-sectional study with 183 health faculty students in 2022.
- Utilized the Big Five Personality Inventory (BFI) and Online Course Satisfaction Survey.
- Hierarchical regression models analyzed the relationship between personality and satisfaction subscales.
Main Results:
- Neuroticism showed an inverse correlation with satisfaction across instructor, technology, course setting, interaction, and outcome.
- Higher agreeableness was positively associated with technology satisfaction (p < 0.05).
- Regression models explained 6% to 28% of the variance in satisfaction.
Conclusions:
- Meaningful associations exist between neuroticism, agreeableness, and e-learning satisfaction, despite small effect sizes.
- Psychologically informed strategies in e-learning design can enhance learner support and effectiveness.
- Tailoring online education to individual personality differences is recommended.
