Using the limited amount of information on online education during lockdown available, schools had to decide which measures are most relevant to combat a possible learning backlog, without putting too much pressure on the teachers. Now that vaccinations have begun and the lockdown will hopefully soon be over, it would be wise to gain insight from this situation. We have to ensure that in the future, online education will be as effective as possible. I have taken a look into the effect of online biology education on 11 – 17-year-old students’ four variables of motivation: self-regulation, self-efficacy, task value, and learning goal orientation using the SALES-questionnaire by Velayutham et al. (2011). Secondly, I have studied the effect of these four variables on performance during online biology education. It turns out that students, contrary to what might be expected, are still motivated to perform at school during online education. Secondly, this research has shown that self-regulation is correlated with performance during online education. A recommendation for school could be the develo
