Abstract

Evidence suggests that learning sentiments are inextricably related to cognitive processing, and the exploration of the relationship remains to be an important research topic. This study collected discourse data from 40 college students in online collaborative learning activities. Epistemic network analysis (ENA) was employed to explore the connection between learning sentiments and cognitive processing and compare the ENA network characteristics of the higher- and lower-engagement groups. The results indicated that there was a joint connection between understand-analyze-neutral, and insightful sentiments had more association with neutral sentiments and understanding. Besides, distinctions existed between higher- and lower-engagement groups with respect to the association between learning sentiments and cognitive processing. The higher-engagement group had stronger associations around positive and confused sentiments, while the lower-engagement group had stronger associations around off-topic discussion. The findings of this research may serve as a reference for designing and implementing collaborative learning activities to increase cognitive levels.

网络分析方法探讨在线协作学习中学习情绪与认知加工的关系

有证据表明，学习情绪与认知加工有着千丝万缕的联系，探索这种关系仍然是一个重要的研究课题。本研究收集了40名大学生在线协作学习活动的话语数据。采用认知网络分析(ENA)探讨了学习情绪与认知加工之间的关系，并比较了高投入组和低投入组的ENA网络特征。结果表明，理解-分析-中立之间存在联合关系，而深刻的情感与中立的情感和理解之间存在更大的关联。此外，在学习情绪与认知加工之间的关联方面，高参与组和低参与组之间存在差异。参与度高的那一组更倾向于积极和困惑的情绪，而参与度低的那一组更倾向于跑题讨论。本研究结果可为设计和实施合作学习活动以提高认知水平提供参考。
