Countermeasures and suggestions
Based on the research results and conclusions, the study believes that
learning during the pandemic period needs to fully consider learners’
individual factors, especially mental health and
depression-anxiety-stress will greatly affect learners’ use of web-based
learning tools. Although web-based learning tool is a convenient
instrument for learners to get access to knowledge and skills, the
isolation between teachers and students was uncertain to make assurance
about this kind of benefits with high dropout rate (Davidson-Shivers,
Rasmussen, & Lowenthal, 2018; Hew & Cheung, 2014; Allen & Seaman,
2013). Paying attention to these problems and guiding the learners to
overcome these mental health problems to quickly getting rid of the
negative emotions of depression-anxiety-stress, is very important for
individual control, which will help learners improve their concentration
and quality of learning in web-based learning. On the other hand, family
life quality is also very important to the self-efficacy of online
learners. During the pandemic, it is necessary to ensure a high quality
of family life, a relaxed family atmosphere with love, trust and faith,
communication, and nurturing could promote learners’ web-based learning.
As a mediator between web-based learning tool and self-efficacy, family
life quality could reduce learners’ negative emotions in
depression-anxiety-stress, and enhancing self-efficacy, and promoting
learners’ use of web-based learning tool. Secondly, the study also
designed a multiple-choice question on the investigation of the reasons
for the use of web-based learning tools. Among them, 70.87% and 20.71%
of learners used web-based learning tools to study mainly due to
regulations and requirements, while 53.72% and 49.51% of learners use
web-based learning tools for autonomous learning and self-improvement
reasons. Therefore, although the reasons why learners use web-based
learning tools are diversified, regulations and requirements have been
predominant effect, and autonomy learning of an individual was left
behind. It can be seen that web-based learning tools have been widely
used during the pandemic. Finally, the use and improvement of web-based
learning tools are also very important for web-based learning during the
pandemic. Learners’ evaluation and opinions on web-based learning tools
must be worth attention. The development and improvement of web-based
learning tools as a technical problem has been further improved.
However, existing research pays little attention to the evaluation of
learners’ use of web-based learning tools. In addition, there are some
limitations in this study. For example, there are not enough
investigation samples.
