摘要

关于高等教育有效实践、学生保留、进步和成就的研究表明,学生参与是成功的主要因素。学生和学术界的归属感被视为创造有效参与的关键。这些研究已经确定了在传统高等教育背景下被证明是成功的干预措施;然而,归属和社区的概念在远程学习环境中被认为是有问题的。这位博士研究作者的初步工作表明,许多开放和远程学习(ODL)学生在没有认同自己是学生或与他人进行社交互动的情况下成功地完成了学业,这让人质疑归属感和社区在兼职和远程学习环境中的相关性。2014年,开放大学开发了一个名为学生中心直播(SHL)的平台,以促进学术界的发展。这项研究的重点是参加SHL的在线互动直播活动的价值,这些活动支持课程之外的兼职远程学习学生,并与他们的学习相关。使用人种学方法和基础理论方法,分析了事件的聊天日志,并对六名参与者进行了半结构化访谈。总体发现,尽管课程通常是学生的主要关注点,但在ODL中,学习如何更广泛地应用学术技能和向其他学生学习是很重要的。这一发现与其他热衷于让学生参与虚拟课外空间以支持学习的远程和面对面高等教育提供者有关。

Scaffolding Extracurricular Online Events to Support Distance Learning University Students
Studies about effective practice in Higher Education (HE), student retention, progression and attainment suggest that student engagement is a major factor in success. A sense of belonging to a community of students and academics is seen as key to creating effective engagement. Such studies have identified interventions that have proved successful in traditional HE contexts; however, ideas of belonging and community are considered problematic in distance learning contexts. Preliminary work by the doctoral research author showed that many Open and Distance Learning (ODL) students were successful in their studies without identifying as a student or interacting socially with others, calling into question the extent to which belonging and community are relevant in part-time and distance learning settings. In 2014, The Open University developed a platform, the Student Hub Live (SHL), to facilitate academic community. This research focuses on the value of attending the live online interactive events at the SHL that support part-time distance learning students outside the curriculum, and relating to their studies. Using an ethnographic approach and grounded theory methods, chat logs of events were analysed and the emergent themes informed semi-structured interviews with six participants. The overall findings were that although the curriculum was often a primary focus for students, learning how to apply academic skills more generally and learning from other students is important in ODL. The findings are relevant to other distance and face-to-face HE providers that are keen to engage students in virtual extracurricular spaces to support learning.
