Abstract

Background: While study approaches have been directly associated with students' academic performance, learning environment factors may play a more indirect role. The aim of this study was (i) to assess learning environment factors as predictors of students' average exam grades, and (ii) whether study approaches mediated associations between learning environment factors and exam grades.

Methods: Three annual surveys (2017-2019) yielded data from a total of 263 Norwegian occupational therapy students. Learning environment factors were assessed with the Course Experience Questionnaire, and the Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students were used to assess study approaches. Linear regression analyses and mediation analyses were performed.

Results: Higher levels of 'student autonomy' were directly associated with lower averaged grades whereas higher levels of 'appropriate workload' were associated with higher averaged grades. There were statistically significant total indirect effects of 'clear goals' and 'appropriate workload' on grades; these effects occurred through the study approach variables. However, all learning environment variables showed one or more relationships with academic performance that was mediated by study approach variables.

Conclusion: Learning environment variables appear to be complexly associated with academic performance, both directly and indirectly.

学习方法是学习环境与学习成绩之间联系的中介。
背景:学习方法与学生的学业成绩直接相关,而学习环境因素可能起着更为间接的作用。本研究的目的是:(i) 评估学习环境因素对学生平均考试成绩的预测作用;(ii) 研究学习方法是否能调节学习环境因素与考试成绩之间的关联:三次年度调查(2017-2019年)共获得了263名挪威职业治疗专业学生的数据。学习环境因素通过 "课程体验问卷 "进行评估,"学生学习方法和学习技巧量表 "用于评估学习方法。研究结果进行了线性回归分析和中介分析:结果:"学生自主性 "越高,平均成绩越低,而 "适当的工作量 "越高,平均成绩越高。在统计学上,"明确的目标 "和 "适当的工作量 "对成绩有明显的间接影响;这些影响是通过学习方法变量产生的。然而,所有的学习环境变量都显示出一种或多种与学习成绩的关系,而这种关系又是以学习方法变量为中介的:学习环境变量似乎与学习成绩有着复杂的关系,既有直接关系,也有间接关系。
