社会网络分析在大学生合作学习中的运用

The Application of Social Network Analysis in College Students' Cooperative Learning

大学生的合作学习能力对于大学生提高学业成绩、适应社会具有十分重要的意义。本研究采用调查法与社会网络分析方法对西华师范大学一个本科班级大学生的合作学习网络进行研究,结果表明:(1)大学生合作学习网络中心度的三个指标(点度中心度、中介中心度、接近中心度)可以从不同方面反映出大学生合作学习能力差异;(2)从整个网络图看来,网络中表现出了小团体特征,而且最重要的小团体中班外的同学占据核心位置,大学生在学习上和班级外同学的合作比较明显;(3)相关性分析表明,某些网络中心度指标与学习动机、人格问卷得分之间存在显著的相关关系,但并不是每个指标都显著。

College students＇ cooperation learning ability is of great significance for them to improve academic performance and adapt to the society. This paper used the methods of survey and social network analysis to study the undergraduate students＇ cooperation learning in a class of China West Normal University. The results showed that： First,the three indicators of centrality（indegree,betweennness centrality and closeness centrality） could reflect the college students＇ cooperation learning ability from different aspects. Second,from the view of whole network,it showed obvious group characteristics. The members of the most important clique were basically composed of the outside class students. College students showed noticeable character in learning cooperation with outside class students. Third,the correlation analysis showed that there were significant relationships among the three indicators of centrality,learning motivation and personality questionnaire score. However,not all the indicators of centrality were correlated with each factor of above questionnaire.
