Abstract

This research includes the first cycle of an application based on the integration of a MOOC given in the field of “writing” into the formal education curriculum to reinforce classroom teaching and support the learning process to improve English writing skills. It was carried out in the spring semester of the 2021-2022 academic year with 14 students studying in an English preparatory program at a Turkish state university. In this study, qualitative research method was adopted and the action research design was applied. The implementation was carried out within the scope of the Reading/Writing course in the program in question. As data collection tools, a semi-structured interview form, Self-directed Learning Scale, and students’ course completion scores in their chosen MOOCs were utilized. In addition, the articles written by the students at the end of the term within the scope of classroom evaluation were also used to support the research data. The first data obtained in this direction show that the majority of the participants could not go beyond the course selection and registration stage. Although the students mostly did not have problems in accessing technology and showed self-directed learner characteristics, they did not follow or complete these courses due to lack of motivation, technological problems, heavy course loads and health problems.
自主学习和mooc融入高等教育英语课堂
本研究包括基于将“写作”领域的MOOC整合到正规教育课程中的应用程序的第一个周期,以加强课堂教学并支持学习过程,以提高英语写作技能。该研究是在2021-2022学年的春季学期进行的,有14名学生在土耳其一所州立大学的英语预科课程中学习。本研究采用定性研究方法,运用行动研究设计。实施是在有关项目的阅读/写作课程范围内进行的。数据收集工具包括半结构化访谈表、自主学习量表和学生在所选慕课的课程完成分数。此外,在课堂评价的范围内,学生在学期结束时所写的文章也被用来支持研究数据。在这个方向上获得的第一个数据表明,大多数参与者无法超越选课和注册阶段。虽然大多数学生在使用技术方面没有问题,并表现出自主学习者的特征,但由于缺乏动力、技术问题、课程负担过重和健康问题,他们没有跟随或完成这些课程。
