“…Also, similar issues were noticed in the United States, as this country experiences an urgent need to develop mathematical literacy (Jaafar, Toce and Polnariev 2016). In South Africa, it was found that the learning 234 support services assisted in meeting learners' academic, social and emotional needs by addressing barriers to learning, creating conducive learning environments, enhancing learners' self-esteem and improving learners' academic performance in Western Cape schools (Bojuwoye et al 2014). An interesting and highly successful type of learning support programme, is the supplemental instruction.…”

Open distance learning (ODL), by the definition, subscribes to the limited direct engagement of the students with the learning institution. The University of South Africa (UNISA), Western Cape, has placed key emphasis on providing an array of electronic support platforms to assist students with their needs in quantitative literacy skills. Consequently, as a part of this additional learning support, an online environment was designed in which the students, enrolled for various mathematics modules, were able to access an array of educational resources. Findings from similar studies suggest, that the utilisation of employment of additional learning support could show a positive effect on students' academic achievement in distance learning. Therefore, a quasiexperimental research study was conducted to investigate this supposition by comparing the assessment outcomes among various student groups subjected to the additional learning support interventions. It has been found that online intervention might affect the success rate of the students, however, not necessarily in a simple or in the anticipated way.

“…Learning environmental stimuli have always been the key factor affecting the level learning intention among students ( Chang et al, 2008 ). Many studies have shown that good learning environmental stimuli enhance students’ intrinsic learning motivation and help them to obtain the required knowledge and skills, thus achieving the scheduled goals ( Bojuwoye et al, 2014 ). Mashau (2000) holds that schools have the responsibility for creating a favorable learning environment to promote effective learning, and students would benefit from mutual assistance among peers, improved courses, and high-quality teaching strategies in such an environment ( Hewson and Hewson, 1983 ).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic at the beginning of 2020 has changed the conventional learning mode for most students at schools all over the world, and the e-learning at home has become a new trend. Taking Chinese college students as the research subject and drawing on the stimulus–organism–response (S-O-R) model, this paper examines the relationship between the peer referent, perceived closeness, and perceived control and the learning engagement. Using data from 377 college students who have used e-learning, this study shows that perceived closeness, perceived control, and peer referents in e-learning have a positive effect on the self-efficacy and well-being of students, thus improving students’ enthusiasm for learning. Our intent is to assist researchers, instructors, designers, and others in identifying effective methods to conceptualize and measure student engagement in e-learning.
