Teachers’ teaching strategies are an important factor affecting students’ online learning and learning satisfaction. What is the impact of teachers’ teaching strategies on students’ deep learning in the online learning environment, and what is the role of learning interaction between them? This study took students in primary, secondary, and higher educational institutions in six provinces in central China as the investigation object, stratified cluster sampling. Based on sociocultural theory, the analysis framework and research hypothesis were constructed, and descriptive statistical analysis, multiple regression analysis, structural equation model, and other methods were comprehensively used to analyze the influence of teachers’ teaching strategies on students’ deep learning, as well as the mediating effect of learning interaction between them. The results show that teachers’ teaching strategies have a significant positive impact on students’ deep learning in the online learning environment, and at the same time have an indirect impact on deep learning through learning interaction. The results reveal the influence and internal mechanism of teachers’ teaching strategies on deep learning in the online learning environment, which is helpful for improving online teaching design and promoting students’ deep learning.
