During the COVID-19 pandemic, students experienced significant mental and physical discomfort from taking online classes, which negatively impacted their motivation to learn and their academic performance. Studies have shown that students often have negative feelings about online learning, which raises concerns about their learning abilities and participation in school. To address this issue, this study aimed to identify the factors that affect students' learning motivation and academic performance in an online learning environment through an innovative ergonomic assessment framework.
A total of 316 respondents participated in an online survey conducted via social media platforms, using purposive sampling. The study simultaneously analyzed ergonomic indicators for physical, cognitive, and macro-ergonomics using multiple linear regression. The findings revealed that the design of the workstation, use of learning management systems (LMS), access to technology, teaching methods, temperature levels, and visual learning styles significantly influenced students' learning motivation, which in turn impacted their academic performance.
Therefore, it is crucial for those involved in distance learning to consider these motivating factors. This paper serves as a guide to help plan course programs effectively, ensuring their feasibility and engaging students productively, as online learning becomes increasingly prevalent. Additionally, it offers recommendations and insights to assist schools, educators, and students in enhancing learning motivation and academic performance.
