Abstract EN

For student engagement and satisfaction, academic motivation is central.

Besides, the use of virtual classroom within learning management systems is on the rise during the COVID-19 pandemic in higher education institutions, generating new questions about how to explore the effects on student academic motivation and their satisfaction in the virtual classroom.

The aim of the present study was therefore to explore the effects of using virtual classroom within learning management systems in promoting academic motivation and satisfaction of across gender groups in professional masters.

Participants were professional masters' second-academic level learners in the department of Educational Technology who were divided into two experimental groups (one group for boys and another for girls).

Both experimental groups studied the "Special Needs Education Techniques" course through virtual classrooms within the Blackboard Learning Management System.

To achieve the study objective, the Academic Motivation Scale and Student Satisfaction Questionnaire were used as study tools.

The results showed that there were no statistically significant differences for the use of virtual classrooms within learning management systems on the development of academic motivation and satisfaction across groups of boys and girls.
