A Study On Learner's Learning Behavior In CSCL

In recent years, with the development of the computer network technology in the field of education and growing attention from educators to the topic of collaborative learning, the collaborative learning (CSCL) which is supported by computer has currently become a hot issue studied in the field of educational technology. The study on CSCL technology has been shifting their focuses from the study of technology application to human being's activity. The study intended to explore the learner's learning behaviors in CSCL. The significance of the study goes in two sides. On one hand, the key element, the learning behavior of learner, has close relationship with the design and management of collaborative learning, even has relationship with the design of learning platform. On the other hand, according to the logical analysis of learners in CSCL, there is obvious difference between the behavior of being learning and ought to be learning, which is the question need further exploring to figure out whether it is a theory hypothesis or no rules in the learning practice of learner.Through reviewing the related literature in the field of CSCL, the study analyzes the affecting elements, the categories and the assessment of learning behavior in CSCL. On the theoretical bases of population dynamics, constructivism learning, social culture and behavior science, the structure and hypothesis of this study are formed. The questionnaire is designed on the basis of the relative studies and distributed to the postgraduate students from Capital Normal University so as to investigate the application of e-learning(in the form of CSCL). The data is analyzed by SPSS. By using the Pearson Correlation and regression to analyze whether there is relationship between affecting elements and learning behaviors, and between learning behaviors and learning efficiency. The finding shows that there are correlations among learner's production, consuming and interaction; there is significant correlation among learning interactive behaviors in learning platform; there is significant correlation between teacher's guidance, assistance and the consumption behaviors; in CSCL, there are correlations between the learner's production behavior, consumption behavior, interaction behavior and the degrees of satisfactory towards learning and the learning achievements. According to the study on the internal relationship between affecting elements and learning behavior and the internal relationship between learning behavior and efficiency, the author proposes some suggestion on teaching practice in CSCL as reference and hope to help the teachers, the learners and the designers of platform to improve learning environment, teaching strategies and achieve the learning efficiency.
