An exploration of longitudinal studies of digital learning

ABSTRACT

Background: The importance of digital technologies for enhancing learning in formal education settings has been widely acknowledged. In the light of this expectation, it is important to investigate the effects of these technologies on students’ learning and development.

Purpose: This study explores longitudinal empirical research on digital learning in the context of primary and secondary education. By focusing on a small selection of the peer-reviewed literature, the aim is to examine the kinds of longitudinal study published on this topic during the period 2012–2017 and, thorough categorisation, to bring together insights about the reported influences of digital technology use on students’ learning.

Design and methods: The databases searched for the purposes of this review were Scopus and Web of Science. Of 1,989 articles, 13 were finally included in the review. Using qualitative content analysis, these were analysed, coded and categorised.

Results: The reviewed studies were found to have approached digital learning in different ways: they varied, for example, in terms of research methods and design and the digital technologies used. The studies addressed different aspects of learning, which we assigned to six categories: affection, attitude, and motivation; subject-specific knowledge and skills; transversal skills; learning experience; elements of the learning environment; and identity. We identified both positive and negative influences of technology on learning.

Conclusions: This review offers a snapshot of the variety of research in this fast-moving area. The studies we explored were found to approach digital learning from several different perspectives, and no straightforward conclusions can be drawn about the influences of digital technology use on students’ learning. We conclude that further longitudinal studies of digital learning are needed, and this study assists by highlighting gaps in the existing literature.

大学生英语词汇学习策略研究

多年来,人们一直强调英语教学中语法知识的重要性而忽视词汇教学,然而词汇是语言学习的基础,也是语言应用的前提。语言学家Wilkins指出“没有语法,人们可以表达的事物寥寥无几;而没有词汇,人们则无法表达任何事物。”川san。也提出了如下的公式,即:基础英语的掌握二(基础     

成人经验学习及其教学策略

拥有丰富的经验是成人的一大特色,基于这些经验的成人学习在当今社会中扮演着重要的角色.成人只有凭借自身的有利经验,在学习过程中不断地回顾、理解、反思以及重构,才能提高学习效果.为此,成人教学要在分享经验、教学内容与经验相联系、消除经验的消极作用、指导建构新的经验、科学评价学习效果等方面做出相应的变革,推动成人经验学习.     

自我导向学习及其与成人教育发展述评

自我导向学习孕育于成人教育,又推动成人教育的发展。自我导向学习对成人教育的发展影响巨大,奠定了成人教育学的学科基础,形成了成人学习的基本模式;澄清了成人学习认识上的误区,促进了成人学习研究的深化;推动了成人学习流派、学说的涌现和实践模式的建构。拓展理论基础、建构基本原理、加强课程领导和开发有效策略是自我导向学习在我国成人教育研究领域的发展趋势。     

初中生理科课程学习动机与学习策略的调查研究

采用问卷调查形式,研究了初中生学习理科课程的学习动机与学习策略的发展情况.经过标准比数据处理,结果发现初中生在理科课程学习中内、外动机是相互促进的,二者对学习策略的影响都很显著.学习理科课程时监控策略运用最多,而精加工策略运用水平不高,这可能与传统的教学方式有关.     

Ambience in social learning: student engagement with new designs for learning spaces

An imperative to develop the social experience of learning has led to the design of informal learning spaces within libraries. Yet little is known about how these spaces are used by students or how students perceive them. Field work in one such space is reported. The general private study practice of undergraduates was captured through audio diaries, while activity in the learning space was directly observed, and students provided reflective perspectives in focus groups and through spot conversations. Results suggest such spaces are popular and yet stimulate limited group work. Yet other, less intense, forms of productive collaboration did occur and a taxonomy of four such types of encounter is offered. Of particular importance to students was access to a ‘social ambience’ for study. The results encourage institutions to design for a mixed economy of student choice over learning spaces and to consider modes of encouraging diversity in their use.     

The development of learning patterns of student teachers: a cross-sectional and longitudinal study

Research on learning pattern development during pre-service teacher education is scarce. In a cross-sectional (study 1) and longitudinal study (study 2) the development of learning patterns of student teachers is analysed. Participants in study 1 were 646 first-year and 350 third-year student teachers enrolled in an initial pre-service teacher education programme. 236 student teachers participated in study 2. Vermunt’s’ Inventory of Learning Styles was used to assess differences in learning patterns. By examining intra-individual changes in learning patterns we expected to find developmental trends within learning patterns. Results show that meaning oriented learning increases over time and undirected learning decreases. Some learning patterns are however more subject to change than others. The development of learning patterns was found to be relative and dependent on the learning pattern which students have already mastered in the first-year of a teacher education programme.     

远程教育的学习策略及其教学

远程学习策略是衡量个体学习能力的重要尺度，是制约学习效果的重要因素。其构成要素包括策略认知、策略执行、元认知监控等，具有目标指向性、操作实用性和应用灵活性特征。远程教育学习策略的教学必须发挥教师的主导作用，在学生的实践活动中实现并且遵循知识与技能学习的规律。

新疆师范大学民考民／民考汉少数民族学生外语学习过程中学习策略应用的调查报告

文章作者对新疆师范大学178名在校少数民族大学生英语学习过程中学习策略的应用情况进行了调查。调查结果表明：1．受试的178名少数民族学生最赞成形式操练观念和功能操练观念;2．形式操练观念和功能操练观念成正相关关系,这说明绝大多数受试者认为传统学习方法和交际学习法都对外语学习的进步有帮助;3．这些少数民族学生在学习外语过程中,更加依赖母语,缺乏自我管理意识,还有相当一部分学生语言学习焦虑感较强,表层动机也显得较低。

Relationships between student cognitions and their effects on study strategies

Using Vermunt's model [Vermunt, J. D. (1998). The regulation of constructive learning processes. British Journal of Educational psychology, 68, 149–171] of self-regulated learning as a conceptual framework, this study aims to contribute to the development of finer grained models of higher education students' learning by (1) investigating causal relationships between three student cognitions which feature prominently in the research literature: self-efficacy, conceptions of learning and attributions for academic success and by (2) researching both the direct and indirect effects of these student cognitions on first year university students' study strategies. To that end a model was developed, respecified, tested, and cross validated using path analyses. Results show that within an educational context learning conceptions are fundamental student cognitions since they directly and/or indirectly influence students' self-efficacy, attributions for academic success, and study strategy.
