PLS-SEM is suitable for complex model structures, capable of effectively handling multiple mediator and moderator variables, with less stringent assumptions about data distribution. This makes it an ideal tool for analyzing the impact of teaching methods, course content, and teacher performance. This study analyzes the basic principles and characteristics of the PLS-SEM model, including measurement and structural models, and its applications in the field of education, such as the analysis of teaching quality and student satisfaction, optimization of course design and development, assessment of learning outcomes and skills enhancement, as well as education resource allocation and management decisions. The research findings indicate that the PLS-SEM model can help educators better understand and improve online construction engineering courses, enhancing teaching effectiveness and student satisfaction.
