Abstract

Students face numerous challenges in the online courses. The isolation that occurs in this environment impacts students’ ability to seek help. This study sought to determine the relationship between precursor variables and help-seeking in an online dual enrollment course. Relationships between the precursor variables of self-efficacy for learning and performance, goal setting, intrinsic motivation, and task value and help-seeking were statistically significant. Faculty are encouraged to be proactive with students to develop help-seeking skills. Researchers are encouraged to analyze the relationship between student interaction in online and helpseeking.
