Abstract

Online tutoring has been found to have a positive impact on student learning in STEM education. The aim of this study was to explore how and to what extent students supported their own and other students' processes of inquiry during online tutoring. More specifically, question and answer sessions (Q&As) were studied, and online tutoring transcripts were analyzed using the Relationship of Inquiry coding scheme adapted from the Community of Inquiry framework. The students interacted voluntarily with each other and with the teachers. The results show that the students supported both their own process of inquiry as well as other students' process of inquiry. Furthermore, the results indicate that students acquired metacognitive development through self- and co-regulation when they expressed teaching presence. Overall, we conclude that Q&As have the potential to support student learning when working on assignments in STEM education.

在线问答环节:学生如何在基于文本的学习环境中支持自己和其他学生的探究过程

在线辅导已经被发现对学生在STEM教育中的学习有积极的影响。本研究的目的是探讨学生如何以及在多大程度上支持他们自己和其他学生在网上辅导的探究过程。更具体地说，研究了问答环节(Q&As)，并使用从探究社区框架改编的探究关系编码方案分析了在线辅导成绩单。学生们自发地相互交流，并与老师互动。结果表明，学生既支持自己的探究过程，也支持其他学生的探究过程。此外，研究结果还表明，学生在表达教学在场时，通过自我调节和共同调节获得元认知发展。总的来说，我们得出的结论是，Q&As有潜力在STEM教育作业中支持学生的学习。
