Abstract
Introduction: Academic burnout has become a pressing concern in higher education, particularly with the rise of online learning. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Teacher-Student Collaborative Assessment (TSCA) model in mitigating academic burnout among college students with diverse learning styles.
Methods: A quasi-experimental design was applied to two undergraduate classes (n = 85) at Jilin Medical University. The Kolb Learning Style Inventory was used to categorize students into adaptive, assimilative, divergent, and convergent types. Academic burnout was assessed at the start and conclusion of a 3-month TSCA-based course using a validated burnout questionnaire.
Results: The results indicated that students with adaptive and divergent learning styles experienced a statistically significant decrease in burnout levels (P < 0.05), whereas those with assimilative and convergent styles did not (P>0.05).
Discussion: These findings suggest that the TSCA model may be particularly effective for certain learner types in reducing academic burnout and enhancing engagement in online education. This study provides practical insights for personalized teaching interventions and online course design.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Psychology is the largest journal in its field, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across the psychological sciences, from clinical research to cognitive science, from perception to consciousness, from imaging studies to human factors, and from animal cognition to social psychology. Field Chief Editor Axel Cleeremans at the Free University of Brussels is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide. The journal publishes the best research across the entire field of psychology. Today, psychological science is becoming increasingly important at all levels of society, from the treatment of clinical disorders to our basic understanding of how the mind works. It is highly interdisciplinary, borrowing questions from philosophy, methods from neuroscience and insights from clinical practice - all in the goal of furthering our grasp of human nature and society, as well as our ability to develop new intervention methods.
