The cultural background of the parents may have a considerable impact on the perception of online learning, in this case, Chinese. The purpose of the current study was to find out the attitude of Chinese parents regarding their children’s online learning; particularly in how they perceive online learning and what benefits of online learning they can find compared to face-to-face learning. The current study involved 59 participants, who responded to questionnaires. The questions focused on the attitudes of participants towards online learning, their experience of online learning, and the overall perception of online learning. The major finding of the current study was that the participants preferred face-to-face learning compared to online learning despite lacking a full understanding of the potential of online learning and how the process of online learning occurs. Their cultural background was revealed to have a considerable impact on the perception of education and priorities they have in the learning process. One of the main priorities of Chinese culture regarding education is the direct communication and interaction between students and their educators to acquire important social experiences and to learn in the way, which they believe to be, successfully. 2020-06-02 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1584978232779761 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1584978232779761 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
