Abstract

Study Background: The study was conducted to understand the factors influencing perceived learning among hospitality students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Theory of Transactional Distance (TTD) provided the theoretical framework for analyzing the impact of various interactions on learning outcomes.

Research Goals and Hypotheses: The primary goal was to evaluate the role of different interactions—content, instructors, peers, and technology—on students' perceived learning. The hypothesis was that these interactions significantly impact perceived learning, with self-efficacy moderating the relationship.

Methodological Approach: A survey was conducted among 461 hospitality students from various institutes in India. Data were analyzed using moderation analysis to understand the conditional effects of self-efficacy on the relationship between interactions and perceived learning.

Results and Discoveries: The findings revealed that all four types of interactions positively impact perceived learning. Interaction with content was the most significant predictor. Self-efficacy moderated the interaction between content and perceived learning, showing a conditional effect.
