The Relationship between Home-Based Learning Satisfaction and Mental State of Primary and Secondary School Students during Epidemic Outbreak: An Analysis of Mediating Effect of Self-Management

Abstract

This study explores the home-based learning satisfaction and mental health status of primary and secondary school students during epidemic outbreak, and analyzes the intermediary role of self-management in learning satisfaction and mental health. Questionnaires among 14,594 primary and middle school students from 11 schools in Shaoguan City were conducted to study their home-based learning and mental health status during epidemic outbreak. Spss and Amos software were used for specific analysis of data and for structural model verification. The results show that: (1) the scores of home-based learning satisfaction, self-management and mental health of primary and middle school students were in the upper-middle level; (2) there were significant pairwise correlations among home-based learning satisfaction, self-management and mental health status of primary and secondary school students; (3) self-management plays a partial mediating role for learning outcomes, teachers’ teaching and mental health, with a mediating rate of 98.8%. Therefore, improving students’ self-management awareness and management skills of primary and secondary school students plays an important role in improving students' learning satisfaction and mental health.
