远程学习者在线学习情绪状态及特征差异

The Study of Distance Learners' Emotion States and Its Distinguishing Characteristics in Online Learning

情绪是主体对客观事物态度的反映,影响着活动的质量和效率。在线学习中师生时空分离的特征,使得情绪研究的价值更为凸显。当前国内外有关成人学习者在线学习情绪的研究,主要集中于情绪管理的方法和策略等方面。深入了解远程学习者的情绪状态及其变化轨迹,对于远程教育机构多角度掌握学习者学习情况,进而有针对性地提供更人性化的学习支持服务具有重要的实践意义。基于在线学习不同阶段学习者的情绪状态、变化轨迹、特征等的调查发现:(1)在线学习不同阶段,学习者均以积极情绪为主;但随着学习进行,学习者情绪状态发生细微变化,表现为积极情绪程度逐渐降低,消极情绪程度逐渐增强,但这种变化未达到显著性水平。(2)不同学习阶段,男性和女性学习者在积极情绪和消极情绪上存在显著差异,而且随着学习进行,男性和女性学习者的情绪状态呈现相反的变化轨迹。(3)不同学历层次学习者的情绪状态存在显著性差异。(4)不同在线学习经历学习者的情绪状态差异不显著。
