This study confirmed the effect of middle school students' learning self-efficacy on online class satisfaction in the COVID-19 situation, and verified the mediating effect of digital literacy in the relationship between learning self-efficacy and online class satisfaction. For this purpose, data from 323 middle school students were used for regression analysis using SPSS 26 and PROCESS macro. As a result of the analysis, first, it was found that learning self-efficacy had a positive effect on digital literacy, and that digital literacy was found to have a positive effect on online class satisfaction. However, learning self-efficacy did not significantly affect online class satisfaction. Second, as a result of verifying the mediating effect of digital literacy between learning self-efficacy and online class satisfaction, it was confirmed that the direct effect was not significant, but the indirect effect was significant. In other words, it was found that digital literacy mediates indirect-only mediation in the relationship between learning self-efficacy and online class satisfaction. Using the results of this study, practical measures were presented to improve the satisfaction of middle school students with online classes in the context of COVID-19.
