“…Considering that since the pandemic, an academic trend has been online teaching, some researchers refer that the success or failure of online courses depends on the abilities and skills of students and how they adopt proactive attitudes in their online learning (Zou(Jacquim, 2022;Maqableh & Alia, 2021;Zou, 2022). In this way, it is highlighted that a student's self-confidence has become essential for him to feel satisfied, and the motivation for learning and persistence have been supported during the last two years by virtuality.…”

Within the educational context, mathematics is one of the areas that contributes to the development of logical skills and analytical abilities in students. Mastering these skills allows for greater accessibility to understand various fields of study such as engineering, science, technology, among others. Therefore, it is important for educational institutions to intervene proactively, promoting a practical approach in the teaching of mathematics. Although educational institutions have promoted good interaction between teachers and students for better learning, this situation was subject to change due to the arrival of the pandemic; the rapid transition to virtual environments affected the quality of mathematics education due to the lack of good resources. In this context, the research question arises: are students satisfied with the learning modality through virtual environments? To answer this question, a quantitative, cross-sectional research method was applied, and applying a non-probabilistic sampling, 402 university students were surveyed. Through the analysis with structural equations (SEM), it was found that self-efficacy, perceived enjoyment, and ease of use have a positive and significant influence on student satisfaction when learning mathematics in virtual environments; therefore, the importance of giving students the appropriate support to develop a positive attitude, confidence, and development of skills that promote self-efficacy, enjoyment, and motivation towards mathematics is framed, also ensuring the availability of technological resources that optimize the conditions and learning experience in virtual environments.

Introduction: Expressive flexibility, or the ability to both up-and down-regulate emotional expressions in social interactions, is thought as an indicator and a consequence of healthy interpersonal relationships. The present longitudinal study examined bidirectional associations between expressive flexibility and friendship quality in early adolescence. Since prior research found inconsistent results regarding the adaptiveness of expressive flexibility, which indicated the necessity to consider individual variability in the process, we further tested the potential moderating effect of social anxiety in the links from expressive flexibility to friendship quality. Methods: Participants from two junior high schools in eastern China (N = 274; 50.4% female; M age = 13.56) were surveyed at three time points with 6-month intervals. Expressive flexibility, friendship quality, and social anxiety were all assessed via selfreported scales. Results: According to the cross-lagged model results, friendship quality significantly predicted increased expressive flexibility over time. Conversely, the longitudinal association from expressive flexibility to friendship quality was not significant, but the interaction between expressive flexibility and social anxiety significantly predicted later friendship quality. Further analyses via the Johnson-Neyman technique revealed that expressive flexibility only positively predicted friendship quality for adolescents with lower levels of social anxiety. Conclusion: Our results suggest that expressive flexibility is not always socially adaptive, so practical interventions that aim to improve youths' social adjustment via expressive flexibility training might need to consider the role of individual characteristics.

“…Recorded teaching is another commonly used method, where teaching content is created in the form of microcourses, microanimations, and other digital resources, providing students with the flexibility to learn at any time and from anywhere without the constraints of time and space ( 36 , 37 ). However, the virtual learning environment requires more self-discipline and initiative from students ( 38 , 39 ). The lack of classroom atmosphere and real-time teacher guidance may make students’ learning effectiveness somewhat affected ( 40 ).…”

Importance: Covid-19 struck the world suddenly and unexpectedly. Since traditional education requires face to face communication, to avoid further spreading of the virus, a majority part of that education has moved online. Objective: Our study attempts to compare the differences between online medical education with a unique course design and traditional face-to-face education. Design: We conducted a retrospectively analysis of a total of 4,098 medical students between 2019 and 2020, including two groups of students who received online education and classroom education of same subjects, respectively. Participants: Freshmen enrolled in September 2018 received traditional classroom physiology and pharmacology education in the spring semester of 2019. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, freshmen who were enrolled in September 2019 received online physiology and pharmacology education in the spring semester of 2020. Assessments: The final marks of the two groups of students were recorded and compared. Data on students participating in online discussions, learning, homework, and watching instructional videos were also recorded. Results: There was no significant difference in the final academic performance between the two groups (average mark: 55.93 (online education) vs. 56.27 (classroom education), p=0.488). Further analysis showed that student participation rates in online discussions, online learning, and online viewing of instructional videos were closely correlated with final grades in online courses (p<0.01). Conclusions and Relevance: In conclusion, our results suggested that the pedagogical effects of online education during COVID-19 were promising and we provided a well-designed medical online course to inspire further improvements in online education.
