Abstract
After the Covid-19 pandemic, university classrooms were closed for a while, but immediately with the immediate decision of university officials, the will was decided to hold classes virtually and electronically; This demand was somehow imposed on the students without examining whether the students had the necessary support in this way or not. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the readiness of students to learn in the electronic context and the effect of these factors on academic achievement. In the present study, several factors have been studied to explain students' academic achievement in the future, some of which are related to the personality traits of the learner (student), including conscientiousness, self-regulation, academic resilience, and some to their attitudes, including attitudes toward digital technologies. And attitudes towards e-learning systems. After electronicizing the research tool electronically, it was given to the students of the inferential statistics course of the undergraduate course after the end of teaching. In order to analyze the multiple relationships between variables, the structural equation model has been used using the partial least squares and the most important results can be the lack of conscientiousness effect and the direct significance of resilience and self-regulation on academic achievement. Following the results of this research, suggestions have been made for e-learners of universities and officials.
