Abstract

Student engagement

Basic psychological needs

Online learning environment

Instructor support

This chapter reports the results of a qualitative study on students’ perception of the characteristics of the online learning environment and on how those characteristics affect their basic psychological needs and engagement during the emergency transition to online learning due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Semi-structured interviews with 24 students from a higher education institution in Vietnam revealed three main factors, including the instructor, peer groups, and technologies that either undermined or satisfied students’ basic psychological needs and affect students’ engagement in online learning. The findings shed light on the contextual factors that fulfill students’ needs for competence, autonomy, and relatedness, thus the findings provide instructors, course designers, and institutional leaders with useful information for the manipulation of instructional strategies and online learning conditions that promote student engagement in online learning in time of crisis.
