Research On The Relationship Among Online English Writing Self-Efficacy,Deep Learning And Writing Achievements

Online learning has gradually become a major learning method for university students as the rapid development of network information technology.In the process of online learning,students’ psychological factors have received wide attention.Among them,students’ self-efficacy is closely related to their English achievements.Deep learning embodies a kind of innovation,creativity and sustainable development ability.It become a very valuable skill,and this skill is the key to determining students’ academic achievements in the current educational background.Based on three needs of self-determination theory,this study selects 241 English majors as objects who engaged in Business English Writing Course in Chinese University MOOC platform,and employs questionnaire as research instruments to explore the relationship among English writing self-efficacy,deep learning and writing achievements in online learning.The study answers the following three research questions:(1)What are the overall situations of English writing self-efficacy and deep learning in online learning?(2)What are the correlations among English writing self-efficacy,deep learning and writing achievements in online learning?(3)What is the mediating effect of deep learning between English writing self-efficacy and writing achievements in online learning?This study analyzed the questionnaire data by applying SPSS25.0 and PROCESSv3.4.1,and major findings of the study were as follows:(1)English writing self-efficacy(M=3.69)was higher than middle level.The level of writing skill self-efficacy(M=3.81)was higher than writing tasks self-efficacy(M=3.53).Deep learning of English majors(M=3.81)was also higher than the middle level.Among the five factors of deep learning,learning drive(M=3.84)and emotion and values(M=3.84)were the highest,knowledge construction(M=3.79)and ability acquisition(M=3.79)ranked the second,and learning behavior(M=3.75)was the lowest.(2)Three variables of English writing self-efficacy,deep learning and writing achievements were positive significant correlated.Specifically,there was a positive moderate correlation between writing self-efficacy and writing achievements(Sig<0.01,R=0.395),in which the correlation coefficient of writing skill self-efficacy and writing achievements was the highest(R=0.404),and the correlation coefficient between writing task self-efficacy and writing achievements was the second(R=0.328);There was a positive moderate correlation between deep learning and writing achievements(Sig<0.01,R=0.433),and the highest correlation coefficient was learning behavior and writing achievements(R=0.427)and the lowest correlation coefficient was emotion and values and writing achievements(R=0.372);Writing self-efficacy and deep learning had an extremely significant positive correlation(Sig<0.01,R=0.833),in which writing skill self-efficacy and learning drive owned the highest correlation coefficient(R=0.795)and writing task self-efficacy and knowledge construction was also highest(R=0.682).(3)Deep learning played a completely mediating effect between writing self-efficacy and writing achievements;The five factors of deep learning played a partially mediating effect between writing skills self-efficacy and writing achievements;The five factors of deep learning played a completely mediating effect between writing task self-efficacy and writing achievements.Based on the above findings,the research puts forward relevant suggestions from the aspects of writing self-efficacy and deep learning in order to cultivate students’ confidence,guide them enter into the deep learning state,and improve writing achievements.
