A five point Likert scale questionnaire consisted of intimacy (8 items), professionalism (8 items), teaching ability (5 items), and leadership (6 items). Measurement of learning flow was adapted and modified by Kim et al. Academic achievement was adapted and modified by Noe and Schmitt. Cronbach’s α of learning flow was 0.77 and that of academic achievement was 0.78 in the study. Data wee analyzed by t-test, one way ANOVA, Scheffe test, and Pearson’s correlation using SPSS 23.0 program.
Results: The scores of instructor trust, learning flow, and academic achievement were 4.37, 3.46, and 3.23, respectively. Academic achievement had a close positive correlation with instructor trust (r=0.46, p<0.001) and learning flow (r=0.63, p<0.001). Instructor trust had a positive correlation with learning flow (r=0.50, p<0.001). Learning flow took mediating effects on instructor trust and academic achievement.
