Abstract: Objective To explore the influence and mechanism of pre-training on the teaching effect of online teaching so as to provide a reference for further improvement of the online teaching. Methods According to the relevant research and the opinions of teachers participating in online teaching in Soochow Medical College of Soochow University, pre-training content and the questionnaire of influencing factors of online teaching were independently designed. From March to August 2020, 943 medical undergraduates in Soochow University were trained and investigated. The data were analyzed by descriptive analysis, ANOVA and structural equation model. Results The score of online teaching effect was (3.67±0.83). The scores of influencing factors were self-efficacy (4.01±0.81), outcome expectation (4.99±0.98), self-regulation (3.26±0.86), and environmental support (3.11±0.85),respectively. When students participate in the pre-training of online teaching were T≤2 h, 2<T≤4 h, 4<T≤6 h, 6<T≤8 h, 8<T≤10 h, their online teaching effect were (3.53±0.88), (3.59±0.70), (3.79±0.76), (3.85±0.80) and (3.89±0.91), respectively, and there was statistical difference (P<0.01). The pre-training of online teaching had a positive effect on environmental support (β=0.264, P<0.001). Environmental support had positive effects on teaching effect (β=0.225, P=0.002), self-efficacy, outcome expectation and self-regulation (β=0.691, 0.719, 0.523, respectively; all P<0.001). Self-efficacy, outcome expectation and self-regulation also had a positive impact on the teaching effect (β= 0.092, 0.292, 0.308, respectively; all P<0.05). Conclusions The longer the students participate in the pre-training of online teaching, the higher the evaluation of the online teaching effect. The pre-training of online teaching affects the self-efficacy, outcome expectation and self-regulation of students by affecting the environmental support, and then affects the teaching effect. Schools should pay attention to the pre-training of online teaching, strengthen the support and guidance for students so as to improve online teaching effect.
