چکیده

This study aimed to investigate online students’ and instructors’ perceptions of the influential factors, including motivation, e-readiness, and barriers for online satisfaction and to determine the contribution of these factors to satisfaction. The participants of this study were 114 online graduate students of TEFL and five online instructors at Iran University of Science and Technology. Four questionnaires on learning barriers, motivation, e-readiness, and satisfaction along with four open-ended questions were the instruments of this study. The results revealed that most of the students were satisfied with the online graduate program of TEFL. The results also showed that motivation of online students was mostly instrumental, and some were not completely ready for online education. The findings also showed that the students’ motivation had the most contribution to students satisfaction, whereas the least contribution was related to students’ barriers. Some implications about enhancing the satisfaction of online graduate students are provided for online instructors and policy makers.
