Data Analysis
The results of the first Model, as presented in table 1, Show that only
11 out of the 88 questions of the survey questionnaire were significant
predictors of success for online students. This first model sought to
identify predictors of student success based on their self-reported
views on whether they felt successful in their online courses. These 11
survey questions were significant predictors of students self-reported
success, b = .382, t (17.737) = 5.399, p< .001. These questions also explained a significant
proportion of variance in the self-reported success scores,R2 = .472, F (1, 171) = 29.15, p< .001. The questions cover a variety of themes, including
time management (e.g., questions 5 & 10), self-efficacy (e.g.,
questions 1 & 11), and self-motivation (e.g., questions 2, 5, & 7).
