The link between learning and the knowledge-economy is so crucial that the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development
has reconceptualised the term knowledge-economy to call it “learning economy”. Ultimately, one of the main challenges of learning
and development in the 21st century is to evaluate the significant learning attributes of the adult learners. Literature on
Students’ Approaches to Learning (SAL), were used to conceptualise the study. However, researchers have reported the weakness
of the SAL for cross-cultural studies. This study acknowledges the importance of cultural issues in the study of learning
approaches. The adapted version of SPQ, i.e. R-SPQ-2FM (Revised-Study Process Questionnaire-2 Factors Malaysia) which considers
both etic (universal) and emic (culturally specific) characteristics was administered on 532 Malay and 326 Chinese Malaysian
adult learners. Results show that there are significant cross-cultural insights between Malay and Chinese adult learners,
particularly in the Understanding and Memorising Approach, Career/Achieve Motives constructs, the effects of “work experience”
and “time spent on study” have on approaches to learning. Findings above would strengthen “evidence-informed” policy making
for Malaysian authorities or regional policy makers in the Asia Pacific. 相似文献

The present study examined continuity of learning between face-to-face and online environments in a “blended” professional
development program designed for 16 physics teachers. The program had nine face-to-face meetings as well as continuous online
exchanges between them through a website. The program focused on “knowledge integration” (KI) innovative activities in physics
classes using an “evidence-based” approach: The teachers implemented the activities, collected and analyzed data about their
practice and their students’ learning, and reflected on the evidence with their peers. Five reflective tools were used to
promote continuity: Your Comments, Hot Polls, Smashing Sentences, Hot Reports, and Mini Research. Continuity was assessed with regard to the ideas discussed by the teachers and the reasoning patterns that they employed.
Analysis of the online exchanges in relation to teachers’ face-to-face discourse revealed that the teachers discussed the
same ideas (KI, evidence and learner-centered pedagogies), employed the same reasoning patterns (e.g., forming generalizations),
and extended ideas in re-visitation. The online and face-to-face environments played different and complementary roles in
the teachers’ learning. This study shows that appropriate use of an online environment in a blended program can lead to a
continuous course of learning and can transform a “9 once-a-month-meetings” workshop into a “9-month” workshop. 相似文献

Learning management systems traditionally provide structures to guide online learners to achieve their learning goals. Web
2.0 technology empowers learners to create, share, and organize their personal learning environments in open network environments;
and allows learners to engage in social networking and collaborating activities. Advanced networking mechanisms, UGC, flat-structured
architectures, RSS, and social tagging, permit online learners to define their own learning structures. This article reports
an online course built within multiple Web 2.0 technologies designed to empower learners to construct their own personal learning
environments within open network learning environments. Lessons learned, examples, and critical issues are discussed. This
paper concludes that effective instructions should prepare “online” learners to become “network” or “open network” learners. 相似文献

This article reviews recent evaluation studies of online learning communities to provide a systematic understanding of how
such communities are evaluated. Forty-two representative studies were selected and categorized into a newly developed taxonomy
of online learning community evaluations. This taxonomy is divided into four components: evaluation purpose, evaluation approach,
measures for evaluation, and evaluation techniques. The findings suggest that it is inappropriate to conceptualize evaluation
of such communities as a one-size-fits-all, generalizable measure of “good” or “bad.” Instead, we recommend a comprehensive,
on-going, diagnostic approach to measuring clusters of indicators, or syndromes, of a particular OLC and examining the causal relation assumed by the evaluators between what is measured and the success
of OLC as an imputed outcome.

This paper describes a framework for learning where learners undergo experimentations with the phenomena at hand according
to progressive and staged goals. Bowling is used as a case study in this paper. The premise for experimentations is that learners
can experience hidden efficacies, including the formation of “bad habits.” A distinction is made between productivity in learning
and performance in terms of learning outcomes. In other words, productivity in learning may not necessarily manifest in successful
performance, hence the term productive failure. To emphasize the need for self-regulation during problem-solving process,
we discuss the movements within the productive–unproductive and success–failure dimensions through three-staged self-regulatory
processes and draw implications to learning and instruction. 相似文献

Attitudes toward learning (ATL) have been shown to influence students’ learning outcomes. However, there is a lack of knowledge
about the ways in which the interaction between ATL, the learning situation, and the level of students’ prior knowledge influence
affective reactions and conceptual change. In this study, a simulation of acid-base titrations was examined to assess the
impact of instruction format, level of prior knowledge and students’ ATL on university-level students, with respect to flow
experiences (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990) and perceived conceptual change. Results show that the use of guiding instructions was
correlated with a perceived conceptual change and high levels of “Challenge,” “Enjoyment,” and “Concentration,” but low sense
of control during the exercise. Students who used the open instructions scored highly on the “Control flow” component, but
their perceived learning score was lower than that for the students who used the guiding instructions. In neither case did
students’ ATL or their pre-test results contribute strongly to students’ flow experiences or their perceived learning in the
two different learning situations. 相似文献

This study attempts to examine Confucius’ ideas about learning and seeks also to elucidate notions of lifelong learning. The
examination will be focused on Confucius’ ideas concerning learning as revealed in the Analects. Confucius’ notion of learning
offers an alternative perspective to overcome the idea of competition-directed lifelong learning. According to Confucius,
learners should be oriented to learn for the sake of the “self” not “others.” Confucius’ notion of “self-realizing” learning
holds that the self, being a part of interdependent relationships with others in society, attempts to utilize reflective learning
to realize a unity of self and the society. However, if learners are oriented to learn ‘for the sake of others, ’ their learning
efforts are rooted in selfishness-based competition, which threatens the interdependent nature of the human world. Confucius’
perspective of learning makes it clear that learning should be directed toward attaining a unity of self and the world. This
unity is possible when a learner makes the effort of will to sincerely learn for the sake of the self and learns to attain
an insightful understanding about interdependent life. 相似文献

This research addresses issues in the design of online scaffolds for regulation within inquiry learning environments. The
learning environment in this study included a physics simulation, data analysis tools, and a model editor for students to
create runnable models. A regulative support tool called the Process Coordinator (PC) was designed to assist students in planning,
monitoring, and evaluating their investigative efforts within this environment. In an empirical evaluation, 20 dyads received
a “full” version of the PC with regulative assistance; dyads in the control group (n = 15) worked with an “empty” PC which contained minimal structures for regulative support. Results showed that both the frequency
and duration of regulative tool use differed in favor of the PC+ dyads, who also wrote better lab reports. PC− dyads viewed
the content helpfiles more often and produced better domain models. Implications of these differential effects are discussed
and suggestions for future research are advanced. 相似文献

To introduce the special issue on collaborative learning in postsecondary and professional education, the editors describe
their reasons for assembling it. First, most of the existing collaborative learning research focuses on K-12 settings; second,
some forms of collaborative learning are used predominantly or exclusively in postsecondary or professional education; and
finally, increasing numbers of adults are getting some or all of their college education online. The introduction concludes
with the editors explaining their decision not to take a position on the nomenclature question (“collaborative” vs. “cooperative”
vs. “peer” vs. “small group” learning) which pervades the literature. 相似文献

This study explores an approach to autobiographical research based on a notion of “outlaw genre” autobiography referred to
as biomythography. Outlaw genres of autobiography resist the tendency of western autobiography to craft narratives that will
ultimately link the life of an individual to a universalised person—someone to whom all readers can relate. In this study,
photo essays are used to learn about prospective elementary teachers' stories of science and science education. The photo
essays and the theoretical framework of “biomythography” helped us reflect on layers mediating teaching and learning in our
courses. Implications of the study call for us to examine hegemonies extending from our students' personal histories as science
learners, and through mythologies of teacher education. Alternative research frameworks and approaches, such as those represented
in this study, might help science teacher educators explore myths undermining the preparation of future science teachers and
learners. 相似文献

This article describes the adaptation and validation of the Constructivist OnLine Learning Environment Survey (COLLES) for use in the transnational higher education context. As higher education becomes a more global phenomenon, ‘borderless’ education, either online or by distance education, is becoming a reality and there is a need for remote evaluation of course delivery and student learning. Curtin University of Technology is managing supported online delivery of Business Studies Degree and Diploma courses to four partner institutions of the African Virtual University, an initiative based in Nairobi, Kenya. Evaluation of students’ learning has included an online survey about the provision of resources and the quality of the learning environment in the various computer-based classrooms. Embedded in this instrument has been the adapted COLLES, providing a concomitant opportunity to test the properties and usefulness of the learning environment instrument. Problematic issues surrounding adaptation of the instrument have included the consequences of modifying the wording and establishing or confirming the meaning of the latent constructs in partially online courses and for transnational students. The process of establishing the validity and reliability of the scales is discussed. 相似文献

MOOCs are promising opportunities for lifelong learning, but as promising as these learning opportunities seem, many learners do not succeed in pursuing their personal learning goals. Barriers to learning are the main reason for not finishing the intended (parts of the) MOOCs. This study addressed the question whether the factors age, gender, educational level, and online learning experience affect barriers faced while learning in MOOCs. The results show that it is challenging to combine work and family life with lifelong (online) learning activities, especially for learners in their early adulthood and mid-life. However, more experience with online learning positively affects individuals’ ability to cope with these challenges. Also, learners with a lower educational level may experience a lack of knowledge or difficulties with the course content. These findings may serve as input to inform potentially vulnerable learners about these issues and support them in successfully achieving their personal learning goals. 相似文献

This is the report of a qualitative emergent-design study of 2 different Web-enhanced science methods courses for preservice
elementary teachers in which an experiential learning strategy, labeled “using yourself as a learning laboratory,” was implemented.
Emergent grounded theory indicated this strategy, when embedded in a course organized as an inquiry with specified action
foci, contributed to mitigating participants’ resistance to learning and teaching through inquiry. Enroute to embracing inquiry,
learners experienced stages resembling the stages of grief one experiences after a major loss. Data sources included participant
observation, electronic artifacts in WebCT, and interviews. Findings are reported in 3 major sections: “Action Foci Common
to Both Courses,” “Participants’ Growth and Change,” and “Challenges and Tradeoffs.” 相似文献

Research in Mexican schools, drawing upon earlier research in the UK, has led to the development and use of a method for describing, comparing and evaluating the particular approaches and interactional strategies used by teachers and learners. Using this method, qualitative and quantitative comparisons are made to distinguish between teachers who use a conventional, formal, directive approach when teaching 5-year-old children mathematical skills (called the “Official” method) and those who use a more interactive, collaborative, supportive, “scaffolded” approach to teach similar classes of children (called the “High Scope” method). In an earlier study, we found more competent and independent problem-solving among High/Scope pupils than among their peers taught by the Official method. In the present study, discourse analysis and statistical analysis of the relative frequencies of types of teacher-pupil interaction in the classrooms of two “Official” teachers and two “High’ Scope” teachers are used to explain the improved problem-solving of the “High Scope” pupils. The findings support the view that by creating a more collaborative, scaffolded version of classroom education, teachers can more successfully enable children to develop their own problem-solving skills, learning strategies and curriculum-related understanding. The research also contributes to the development and implementation of methods for promoting a more effective style of teacher-learner interaction in the classroom. 相似文献

长期以来,在线课程研究与实践一直被“高辍学率”困扰。传统文献对其原因的消极解读是在线课程定位失准、对在线互动机制理解片面、在线学习评价主体错位的结果。因此,本研究对将“高辍学率”理解为在线课程和课程学习者失败的合理性提出质疑,从学习者投资理论的视角,对在线课程与学习者的关系进行重新诠释。研究发现,在线课程“辍学”是学习者的一种主动选择,同时也是线下教师策略整合及在线课程资源属性的体现。基于“高辍学率”现象中隐藏的积极意涵,研究进一步从教学组织过程、学习评价模式、共同体实践等方面对在线课程学习机制进行了重构。 相似文献

The purpose of this study is to investigate how hybrid learning instruction affects undergraduate students' learning outcome, satisfaction and sense of community. The other aim of the present study is to examine the relationship between students' learning style and learning conditions in mixed online and face-to-face courses. A quasi-experimental design was used and 140 sophomores were recruited in this study. Students' learning outcomes, satisfaction, sense of community and learning styles were measured. Results showed that students in a hybrid course had significantly higher learning scores and satisfaction than did students of the face-to-face courses. The result also indicated that students of hybrid learning classrooms felt a stronger sense of community than did students in a traditional classroom setting. Analysis of learning style indicated that learning style had significant effect on learning outcome in the study group. Accommodator learners had higher e-learning effectiveness than other style learners. Possible reasons of results were discussed. 相似文献

The purpose of this mixed methods sequential explanatory study was to identify factors contributing to students’ persistence
in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Distributed Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership in Higher Education by obtaining
quantitative results from surveying 278 current and former students and then following up with four purposefully selected
typical respondents to explore those results in more depth. In the first, quantitative, phase, five external and internal
to the program factors were found to be predictors to students’ persistence in the program: “program”, “online learning environment”,
“student support services”, “faculty”, and “self-motivation”. In the qualitative follow up multiple case study analysis four
major themes emerged: (1) quality of academic experiences; (2) online learning environment; (3) support and assistance; and
(4) student self-motivation. The quantitative and qualitative findings from the two phases of the study are discussed with
reference to prior research. Implications and recommendations for policy makers are provided. 相似文献

This study investigates the potential of enhancing students' learning of difficult science concepts by exploring the interaction
between teachers' four different instructional approaches and students' four different learning preference styles. Students'
immediate performance and their retention for learning of buoyancy concepts serve to examine the effects, using the concept
of “buoyancy,” which has been classified as a difficult concept because it is at a higher hierarchical level and involves
the understanding of both matter and process. Results indicate that students' post-test scores were significantly affected
by both the types of instruction and students' learning preference styles; while students' retention test scores were significantly
affected by the types of instructions. Moreover, this study does not support that matching teaching style with students' learning
preference would make students' learning more effective. Nevertheless, because procedural learning preference styles (QB-learning
preference) students performed better on the retention test than other learning preference styles students, it indicates the
possibility that procedural learners are more efficient than others for learning such higher hierarchical and difficult concepts,
regardless of the types of instruction students receive. 相似文献

Extrapolating from current developments in the study of learning and imagining how learning might be shaped moving forward,
this article considers 12 trends concerning the future of learning. Learning will become more diverse, more contextual, less
discipline-bound, and less institutionally-bound. It will span professional and institutional sectors, and move beyond national
borders. It will move increasingly online and extend beyond humans to encompass machines and machine/human blends. It will
become more interactive, more distributed, and more biologically connected. Drawing on an understanding of these trends, new
roles for teachers and for educational institutions are developed. The result is that learning is likely to occur through
multiple discovery networks that blend research and teaching to address real world problems in environments supported by robust
software infrastructures. Multiple nested discovery networks will operate on a global scale and be negotiated by individual
learners sometimes guided by teachers.
