Effects of learner–instructor relationship-building strategies in online video instruction

Although research has demonstrated that an increased rapport between instructors and learners can positively relate with increased learning gains, perhaps mediated by the positive attitudes toward the course and self-efficacy beliefs in the coursework, little has been done to test what instructional strategies might increase this rapport in online video-based instruction. This study compared online video-based instruction that made use of relationship-building strategies with online video-based instruction that did not use those strategies. The two instructions were identical in every other way. The results show that the attitudes of the college students were positively affected by the relationship building strategies in a statistically significant way (p = .025) and that learning gains were also positively affected at a very near-significant level (p = .052). The implications of the findings are discussed.     

网络学习社区中学习者的社会行为及其影响的教学论阐释

网络学习社区是与学校教育与课堂教学相区别的另一种教育社会和教学时空,从教学社会学的视角来诠释网络社区中学习者行为的社会性及其对网络教育的影响是非常重要的研究范式。学习者通过最常见的6组基本行为建构着网络学习社区中的知识与情境,这些基本行为既是社区学习者从个体行为演绎成从众活动和学习懈怠等群体行为的基本途径,也是实现学习者之间竞争与合作交互行为、师生之间控制与服从交互行为的基本途径。上述学习者社会行为是网络中教育主体的社会关系与教学活动的主要呈现方式,设计与把握学习者的这些社会行为是网络教育绩效提升的关键,很值得网络教育管理者重视。
