In this study, qualitative system dynamics modeling was used to construct a causal feedback model for evaluating the effectiveness of junior high online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. In-depth interviews were conducted with 7 teachers and 11 students from Taichung. Data were subjected to directed content analysis and visualized with Vensim PLE. The analysis unveiled five core dimensions: information technology, teachers, students, instructional strategies, and family environment. The present study focused on internal causal mechanisms within each dimension and identified reinforcing and balancing feedback loops. Information technology reflected equipment–network dynamics, teachers reflected self-efficacy– literacy interactions, students reflected autonomy–environment relationships, instructional strategies reflected design–feedback cycles, and family environment reflected resource–supervision structures. Overall, the findings suggest that stable infrastructure, teacher efficacy, student autonomy, interactive strategies, and family support induce virtuous cycles, whereas resource scarcity induces vicious cycles, deepening the digital divide. Policy interventions must extend beyond hardware subsidies to include developing systemic ecosystems that support sustainable digital education. |
