Abstract

This study investigated the problems of low course completion rate, low participation rate, and insufficient interaction in online learning community through literature analysis. Then analyzing social interaction characteristics of online learners through Social Network Analysis (SNA) methods. This study analyzed 97 students who participated in the “Organizational Behavior” online course and 2,423 posts chosen in the discussion forum from the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) online platform to explore the influence of their social interaction network characteristics on learning achievement. As a result, topics which richer and more targeted in the online learning community can stimulate individuals to conduct high-quality social interactions and improve learning achievement. And teachers are encouraged to give full play to their central role in the network to optimize topic and interactive activity design, and have a discussion on the different role and impacts of teachers in social interactive networks.

基于社会网络分析的在线学习者社会互动对学习成绩的影响

本研究通过文献分析，调查网络学习社区中存在的课程完成率低、参与率低、互动不足等问题。然后运用社会网络分析(social Network Analysis, SNA)方法分析在线学习者的社会互动特征。本研究通过分析97名参加过“组织行为学”网络课程的学生，以及从大规模开放网络课程(MOOC)网络平台中选取的2423篇论坛帖子，探讨其社交网络特征对学习成果的影响。因此，在线学习社区中更丰富、更有针对性的话题可以激发个体进行高质量的社交互动，提高学习成果。鼓励教师充分发挥其在网络中的核心作用，优化话题和互动活动设计，探讨教师在社会互动网络中的不同角色和影响。
