Abstract

In the present research, the causal relationship of educational interactions with academic satisfaction mediated by self-regulatory learning has been investigated. The population of the present research included Payam Noor University students in Ahwaz (1392), 500 of whom were selected through multi-stage random sampling method. For data collection, the Sevari Educational Interactions Questionnaire (1391), the Sevari Educational Satisfaction (1391) and the Sevari Self-Regulatory Learning Questionnaire (1391) were used. The results showed that educational interactions (student-student interaction, student–professor interaction and student–content interaction) had a positive causal relationship with educational satisfaction. The relationships of student-student interaction and student–content interaction with educational satisfaction, through self-regulatory learning was significant, but the path form student–professor interactions to educational satisfaction through self-regulatory learning was not significant. Based on the present study, it is suggested that for creating educational satisfaction, it is extremely necessary to reinforce student-student and student–content interactions.
