Analysis of Factors Affecting Student Performance in Online Learning Environments: A Case Study

Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The increasing integration of online learning platforms in educational settings has raised concerns about the factors that influence student performance in this environment. This study aims to analyze the various factors affecting student performance in online learning environments through a case study approach. The research focuses on identifying key factors such as student engagement, technology usage, instructor support, and time management that impact student success in online courses. Chapter one provides an introduction to the study, presenting the background, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definition of terms. The literature review in chapter two explores ten key studies related to factors influencing student performance in online learning environments. This chapter synthesizes existing research to provide a comprehensive understanding of the topic. Chapter three outlines the research methodology, including research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, and data analysis procedures. The chapter also discusses ethical considerations and limitations of the research process. In chapter four, the findings of the study are discussed in detail, highlighting the significant factors influencing student performance in online learning environments based on the case study analysis. The conclusion and summary in chapter five provide a comprehensive overview of the research findings, implications, and recommendations for future research and practice. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing insights into the factors that impact student performance in online learning environments, offering valuable information for educators, policymakers, and other stakeholders in the field of education.
