This study aimed to investigate the relationship among online learning self-efficacy, engagement, and students’ satisfaction in online learning. The design of this study was mixed-method research through surveys and open-ended interview with the purposive sampling technique. The quantitative data were analyzed using multiple regression. The respondents were 24 postgraduate students from North Bali, Indonesia. The quantitative data were analyzed using correlation and regression techniques, and an open-ended interview was conducted. The research results showed a positive correlation between online learning self-efficacy, engagement, and students’ satisfaction. The study concludes that students’ satisfaction can be enhanced by increasing students’ online learning self-efficacy and engagement either individually or simultaneously. The implication of this study revealed that strategies in self-efficacy and engagement during learning-related emotions could play a mediating role in academic satisfaction. Additionally, learning-related emotion impacts the metacognitive learning procedures, which thus intervene the impact of satisfaction in online learning.

<p>The teaching and learning process entails several encounters in which the teacher and students exchange a variety of utterances, particularly in language classes. Understanding language involves an understanding of pragmatics. Teaching and learning will be more successful if appropriate speech acts are used. Directive Speech Acts are a type of speech act that is frequently employed in classroom interactions. It is used by the teacher to give instruction, command the students to do something, limit the students’ bad behavior, etc. This study aims at investigating the types of directive speech acts and analyzing the functions of the acts used by English teachers at SMKN 1 Sawan. The theory of directive acts classification adopted in this study is the theory proposed by Ibrahim (1993). Ibrahim’s theory classified directive acts into six major types. They are <em>requestive, question, requirement, prohibitive, permission </em>and<em> advisory</em>. This research also focused on the functions of directive acts based on Amalsaleh, Yamini, and Yarmohammadi's (2004) theory. They are <em>elicitation, instruction, advice, threat, </em>and <em>attention-getter. </em>This research was a descriptive study with two teachers as the subjects of this research. Observation and recording were used as the technique in collecting the data. The validity of the data used is source and theory of triangulation. The results showed that the most frequent type of directive speech acts used by the teachers was <em>question directive</em> with occurance of 185 utterances (46.95%). Teachers that employ the question directive encourage students to be interested in the world around them, to enhance their abilities and attitudes toward science, and to enhance their speech communication and critical thinking.  The other functions of the acts were also identified in various types of the acts.</p>

Self-efficacy may be more challenging to achieve in the context of distance learning when students rely on their teachers as their learning source. This study aims to analyze the importance of students' self-efficacy in their distance learning success. This study adapting library research model into the qualitative design, the present study used experts' opinions and previous studies as data sources to answer how students' self-efficacy affects their success in distance learning. Data sources were selected from conceptual and research articles on related topics, published in 2016-2022 in international reputable journals and national journals accredited by SINTA. The selection used specific keywords and a series of inclusion/exclusion processes. Twenty-six articles were included as relevant data sources to answer the research question. Critical readings led to synthesis during the analysis, which resulted in the conclusion that factors affecting self-efficacy, such as familiarity with distance learning, feedback and rewards, motivation and attitude affect students' distance learning success. It implies that metacognitive maturity, such as self-efficacy, plays a vital role in students’ academic success in distance learning.
