Abstract

Abstract. Feeling excluded by fellow students may be associated with lower levels of adaptive help-seeking. In a cross-sectional study, we compared self-reported help-seeking strategies (autonomy-oriented, dependency-oriented, help-seeking avoidance) among N = 418 students in 25 seminar and tutorial groups in the undergraduate introductory courses of two subject domains: computer science and education. Analyses showed that, overall, students reported lower autonomy-oriented help-seeking and higher help-seeking avoidance in computer science than in education. In computer science, perceived peer exclusion predicted more help-seeking avoidance among both male and female students and less autonomy-oriented help-seeking among females. In education, however, perceived peer exclusion was a significant predictor of both male and female students’ lower autonomy-oriented help-seeking. Results suggest that, in computer science, help-seeking appears to have an “image problem” signaling competence-related inferiority rather than being a form of effective self-regulated learning. Implications for enhancing adaptive help exchange cultures in computer science are discussed.

感知同伴排斥对大学生求助策略的预测作用

摘要被同学排斥的感觉可能与较低的适应性求助水平有关。在一项横断面研究中，我们比较了在计算机科学和教育两个学科领域的本科入门课程的25个研讨会和辅导小组中N = 418名学生自我报告的寻求帮助策略(自主导向、依赖导向和寻求帮助回避)。分析表明，总体而言，与教育专业相比，计算机科学专业的学生报告了较低的自主导向求助和较高的求助回避。在计算机科学中，感知到的同伴排斥预示着男女学生中更多的寻求帮助的回避，而女性学生中更少的以自主为导向的寻求帮助。然而，在教育方面，感知同伴排斥是男女学生较低自主导向求助的显著预测因子。结果表明，在计算机科学中，寻求帮助似乎有一个“形象问题”，表明与能力相关的自卑，而不是一种有效的自我调节学习形式。讨论了在计算机科学中增强自适应帮助交流文化的意义。
