Where some degree of consensus has arisen is that the increasing complexity of the contemporary era is driving interdisciplinarity and addressing complexity demands an epistemological shift from a reductionist examination of isolated parts to the systemic examination of the integrated whole. Such a shift compels an approach to knowledge that is one of engagement thus requiring a cognitive toolkit that includes such things as empathy, open-mindedness, tolerance of ambiguity, and intellectual courage. Acquiring such skills typically requires human interaction, and the inadequacy of current educational tools has become very apparent in the amplified online environment prompted by the global pandemic. This paper outlines the epistemological demands of Interdisciplinary Studies and the challenges of current technology. It then proposes the application of the emerging digital technologies to address these challenges.","PeriodicalId":114543,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2021 5th International Conference on Education and E-Learning","volume":"149 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117283008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, assessing teachers’ self-efficacy regarding technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) assists in unlocking the complexity and tacit nature of TPACK. Relevant studies are relatively rare in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) field compared with studies in other areas. The assessment of 264 EFL teachers at Chinese universities and the exploration of their TPACK revealed significant differences in these teachers’ self-efficacy in terms of their teaching experience and educational background. Additionally, they did not rate highly in the specific constructs of TPACK. It is suggested that in-service EFL teachers broaden their horizons and perceive technological breakthroughs more scientifically and holistically. More opportunities need to be created to support EFL teachers’ application of technology to actualize the integration of information technology and teaching practices. EFL teachers’ demographic characteristics need to be considered to design appropriate teacher training programs. Peer support and teaching communities can also be enhanced to improve teachers’ self-efficacy concerning TPACK.","PeriodicalId":114543,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2021 5th International Conference on Education and E-Learning","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131795424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study probed into the effects of basic psychological needs and engagement factors on persistence intention in completing MOOCs in the psychomotor domain from the students’ perspective. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed to analyze the valid survey data from 214 subjects for direct influences of these factors. The results of the study show among the 12 hypotheses that the basic psychological needs factors directly affect the participation factors, eight were partially supported. This finding means that meeting students’ basic psychological needs can be used as a motivational approach in promoting their participation in learning activities. Secondly, among the four hypotheses that the engagement factors influence students’ persistence intention in completing MOOCs, three were partially supported. This result shows that students who participate in learning activities in behavioural, emotional, and cognitive aspects have the intention to complete the MOOCs they are studying. In general, basic psychological needs and engagement factors positively affect students’ persistence intention in completing MOOCs in the psychomotor domain.

The study lasted approximately 14 weeks. Upon completion, all students completed an anonymous questionnaire about their perception of their learning experience, and five students were chosen at random for a semi-structured interview for detailed analysis. Results showed students generally accepted a mobile-assisted learning approach, but they did not form the habit of regular reading via smartphones. In addition, most students favored language learning applications over other platforms, and video was their preferred learning resource. Furthermore, the advantages and disadvantages of this learning approach were identified. With regard to the learning effect, most students agreed that this approach is was effective in improving increasing their learning interest, promoting their autonomous learning ability, and enhancing their reading proficiency.","PeriodicalId":114543,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2021 5th International Conference on Education and E-Learning","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132378961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

College students are the main users of MOOCs, and the ability of autonomous learning is particularly important in the context of MOOCs. However, many college students still have problems in autonomous emotion, autonomous intelligence and autonomous behavior. Based on the advantages of rich MOOC resources and convenient operation, this article proposes strategies for college students to improve their learning autonomy. It includes the following three aspects. The first is to stimulate internal motivation and increase the consciousness of autonomy; the second is to use cognitive strategies to strengthen autonomous intelligence; the third is to use metacognitive strategies to monitor autonomous behavior.","PeriodicalId":114543,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2021 5th International Conference on Education and E-Learning","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133037866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results revealed the following stages of the deepening of withdrawal phenomenon: partial or occasional withdrawal; silencing, invisibility, confusion; demotivation and apathy; imitation of participation; loss of social connections; exhaustion, helplessness, and complete withdrawal. The withdrawal phenomenon has been triggered by the sudden shift from eye-to-eye to distance learning without prior preparation, as well as by the digital divide of students with learning difficulties due to a lack of digital skills or the slow development of digital skills in the absence of contact support.","PeriodicalId":114543,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2021 5th International Conference on Education and E-Learning","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124047731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, few have examined how the above factors are relate to each other and the nature of online learning for students across cultural regions. This study used the \"categorical-content\" analysis method of qualitative research through in-depth interviews with 37 college students. Based on this, it explored the online learning experiences of college students in Macao and constructed a theoretical model. When the mode of learning changed, students faced new challenges and underwent a process of adaptation and transformation. The main research findings include: (a) Whether students have continuous intention to learn online mainly depends on whether students can make reflection-in-action plan in self-regulated learning. (b) The technical environment brings students intuitive experiences, while the potential environment brings students stress-free learning and external interference; (c) Based on the attention on technology and emotion, students have different views on the effectiveness of interaction. (d) Due to cultural differences, local students pay more attention to the emotional experiences, while Chinese mainland students have rational understandings of learning effectiveness. In the interweaving experiences of emotion and rationality, the effectiveness of learning is improved. The recommendations for future online instructional design with a view of improving students’ learning experiences are discussed in this paper.","PeriodicalId":114543,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2021 5th International Conference on Education and E-Learning","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128471784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
