Thesis Abstract

Abstract
In recent years, online learning has become increasingly popular as a mode of education, providing flexibility and accessibility to learners worldwide. However, despite its advantages, there are numerous factors that can influence student performance in online learning environments. This thesis aims to analyze these factors using a statistical approach to gain a deeper understanding of their impact on student outcomes. The study begins with a comprehensive introduction, providing background information on the rise of online learning and the need to explore factors affecting student performance in this context. The problem statement highlights the gaps in existing research and the importance of investigating these factors. The objectives of the study are clearly outlined to guide the research process towards achieving meaningful results. Limitations of the study and the scope of research are also discussed to provide clarity on the boundaries and constraints of the investigation. Chapter two presents a detailed literature review comprising ten key components that explore existing studies on factors influencing student performance in online learning environments. This review provides a theoretical foundation for the study and highlights gaps in current knowledge that the research aims to address. Chapter three outlines the research methodology, including the research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, and data analysis procedures. The chapter also discusses ethical considerations and the rationale behind the chosen methodology to ensure the reliability and validity of the study findings. Chapter four presents the findings of the statistical analysis, detailing the impact of various factors on student performance in online learning environments. The discussion is structured around the research objectives, providing insights into the relationships between different variables and their significance in predicting student outcomes. Finally, chapter five offers a comprehensive conclusion and summary of the thesis, highlighting the key findings, implications for practice, and recommendations for future research. The study concludes with reflections on the significance of the research in enhancing our understanding of factors influencing student performance in online learning environments and its implications for improving educational practices in the digital age. Through this thesis, we aim to contribute valuable insights to the field of online education and provide evidence-based recommendations for educators, policymakers, and researchers to enhance student learning experiences in virtual learning environments.
