大学生在线课程学习准备状态实证研究

Empirical Study of College Students' Preparedness for Online Learning

作为一种新型的在线教育模式,以MOOCs为代表的在线课程为乐于主动学习的90后提供了前所未有的机遇。对于在线课程学习,大学生前期准备情况是影响其学习效果的重要因素。本研究以长安大学地球科学与资源学院2014级本科新生为调查对象,通过问卷的形式对大学生的准备情况进行了调查,并应用Rasch模型对测试题目及测试者能力进行了分析。结果表明:58个能力测试项具有较好的模型拟合度,证实当前在校大学生在计算机应用技能方面有很大提高,但是在自身阅读、书写、表达、讨论、时间管理及与他人合作方面情况不容乐观。因此,在高校的学习支持服务中,需要为学生在时间管理和学习帮助上提供有价值的策略,不断地提高学生的学习能力和学习准备,促使学生快速适应在线教育环境的变化。

As an emerging online learning mode, MOOCS have provided young learners, born in the nineties and eager to learn autonomously and effectively, with unprecedented opportunities. Prior preparedness has become one of the key factors affecting online learning effectiveness. This study surveyed the online learning preparedness of the 2014 freshmen cohort in Chang'an University and analyzed test items and the subjects' skills using Rasch model. The results show that 58 skills test items demonstrate a high model fitting, which proves college students' increased computer literacy, while there are still other areas not that desirable, ie. reading, writing, expressing themselves, engaging in discussion, time management and cooperating with others. Therefore, learning support needs to provide students with helpful supervision about time management and help-seeking strategies, so as to improve their learning abilities and preparedness for learning to suit the changing online learning environment.
