Abstract
The purposes of the present study were to estimate the latent classes of non-face-to-face lectures satisfaction and the characteristics of variables on these latent profiles. In order to do this, data from the data 658(406 male students and 252female students) of K-University was used. By using latent profile analysis, four distinct latent classes of student's non-face-to-face lectures satisfaction were found. These classes were named 'high-level satisfaction group', 'intermediate-level satisfaction group', 'low-level satisfaction group' and 'mixed-level satisfaction group'. Second, chi-square analysis indicated that gender, school life satisfaction, grade and evaluation method were significant factors. In other words, both male and female students were most frequently distributed in the 'low-level satisfaction group', and the second grade was the most common in the 'intermediate-level satisfaction group' and the other grades were the most in the 'low-level satisfaction group'. In addition, the most suitable evaluation method for online lectures was 'face-to-face evaluation'. Recommendations focus-group interview and longitudinal study for future research were discussed.
