The Interaction Level of High School Students with Distance Learning in a Saudi Context

Abstract

The present study aimed at exploring the interaction level of high school students with distance learning in a Saudi context. The study was conducted in Al-Qunfudah Educational Directorate in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. An online questionnaire was submitted to high school students and the number of respondents reached (1013) male and female students. The results of this study showed that the overall level of interaction of high school students with distance learning was high, including student-content interaction, student-teacher interaction, student-platform interaction and student-student interaction. It was also found that there were statistically significant differences in the level of interaction with distance learning due to gender differences among high school students and those differences were in favor of female students. In light of these results, some recommendations were presented.
