【摘要】：社交网络在商业领域的成功应用极大触发了教育研究者对其在促进和支持个体自主学习上的思考与探索。但已有研究大多数基于相似的研究情境,即社交网络的建立是在一群来自相同学习组织、班级或学校的同伴中发生,并有来自学校或老师的学习要求。如果条件不是这样,社交网络的影响是否还会是相同的积极效果呢?本研究围绕这一问题情境,依据从一个名为"知了网"的学习平台中获取来的真实学习数据,采用学习分析的方法对来自22个省231所学校的590个学生在平台上所开展的平均为期29天的自主学习展开了实证研究。通过方差、聚类、相关等分析方法,分析结果揭示,在一群几乎"陌生"的人群中开展在线自主学习,社交网络对在线自主学习的课程完成同样具有积极的影响,并且双向关注关系的朋友数量在不超过5个时能获得最为显著的学习影响成效;而在此情境下,学术方面的因素(比如,相同的学习目标、学业差异)相比社会方面的因素(比如,共同的身份)对是否建立朋友关系的影响更大。这些研究结论均可为今后在线学习平台中应用社交网络技术并设计学习同伴推荐机制支持自主学习提供有用的建议。
[Abstract]:The successful application of social networks in the field of business has greatly triggered educational researchers' thinking and exploration on how to promote and support individual autonomous learning. However, most studies are based on similar research situations, that is, the establishment of social networks occurs in a group of peers from the same learning organization, class or school, and there are learning requirements from schools or teachers. If this is not the case, will the impact of social networks be the same positive effect? This study is based on the real learning data obtained from a learning platform called "known Web". An empirical study was carried out on 590 students from 231 schools in 22 provinces using the method of learning analysis on the platform for an average of 29 days of autonomous learning. By means of variance, clustering, correlation and other analysis methods, the results show that in a group of almost "unfamiliar" groups of online autonomous learning, social networks also have a positive impact on the completion of online autonomous learning courses. And the number of friends with a two-way focus was the most significant when they were not more than five; in this context, academic factors (for example, the same learning goal), Academic differences have a greater impact on friendships than social factors such as common identity. These conclusions can provide useful suggestions for the future application of social network technology in online learning platform and the design of learning peer recommendation mechanism to support autonomous learning.
