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, Scheffé 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.
