A Study Of Influencing Factors Of University Students' Engagement In Online Learning ——An Empirical Analysis From The Perspective Of Distributed Cognitive Theory

In recent years,with the implementation of the national "Internet+" strategy,online education has developed rapidly.At the start of 2020,the COVID-19 epidemic has been devastating and has helped reshape the entire education industry,making online learning the new normal in education.College students are the main audience of online education,so how to optimize the effect of college students' online learning investment?It has been a topic of general concern in the field of education.What are the main factors influencing college students' online learning investment?How do these factors influence college students' online learning engagement?These are questions that need to be explored.This study aims to from the perspective of distributed cognition theory,understand the current situation of college students' online learning,analyze the main influence factors of college students' online learning in and for the college students' online learning in the improve the quality and effect and provide optimization strategy or implementation path,to our country college students' online learning activities carried out to provide a meaningful reference.Firstly,the research status of distributed cognition and learning input at home and abroad is reviewed.The four concepts of distributed cognition,online learning,learning input and online learning input are clarified and defined.The distributed cognitive theory,social cognitive theory and engaged learning theory are selected as the theoretical basis to support this research.Secondly,based on the perspective of distributed cognition theory,based on literature analysis and interviews related to the analysis results,selection of influence college students' online learning into effect of "six factors",and the combination of college students'online input "four elements",build the college students' online learning into the theoretical model and experimental model,and study the path of the hypothesis is put forward.Again,using the method of questionnaire survey to college undergraduates group as the research object,using the survey tool for college students' online study into the status quo and influencing factors of investigation,understand the current situation of college students'online learning,analysis the influence factors of college students' online learning into,and for the construction of the theoretical model and experimental model for empirical research.Finally,according to the research results,this paper proposes strategies or implementation suggestions to improve the quality and effect of college students' online learning input from six aspects,namely learners,teachers,peers,learning media,learning resources and social culture.The results showed that:(1)Age difference had a significant positive effect on cognitive engagement;(2)Gender difference has a significant positive effect on affective engagement;(3)Gender difference and educational background difference have significant positive effects on behavioral engagement;(4)Gender difference,age difference and subject category difference have significant positive influence on social interaction input;(5)Learner factors,learning resources factors and social and cultural factors have significant positive effects on cognitive engagement;(6)Learners,teachers,learning resources and sociocultural factors have significant positive effects on affective engagement;(7)Learners,teachers,peers,and learning resources have significant positive effects on behavioral engagement;(8)Learners,teachers,peers,learning media,and learning resources have significant positive effects on social interaction input.Suggestions for implementation include:(1)Cultivate online learning interest,improve information technology literacy,clarify online learning attitude,and make detailed learning plan;(2)Strengthen the guidance of students to peer evaluation and self-evaluation,and carry out process evaluation and summative evaluation in time;(3)Build an online learning community,and strengthen the interactive behavior of learning,emotional,technical,psychological and reflective among partners;(4)Strengthen the platform construction,improve the service quality,strictly control the "entrance" of course audit,create "gold course",put an end to "water course";(5)Build quality teaching resources,promote the sharing of quality course resources,fully tap students' potential,and meet students'personalized learning needs;(6)Strive to create a good atmosphere for a learning society,vigorously support the development of online education,and guide college students to firmly establish the concept of lifelong learning.
