Short Description

Student engagement that is energized by motivation and explained by Self-determination Theory (SDT) is a prerequisite for learning, which teachers play an important role in fostering. This study investigated how a proposed teacher digital support distinguished in SDT affects student engagement in online learning; and involved 1,201 high school students in completing pre- and post-questionnaires within 6-week online learning. The digital support significantly fostered student intrinsic motivation and engagement, and emotional support was very important.
