The Developmental Assessment of Emotional Interconnectedness of Participants in an On-line Teaching-Research Community
To evaluate the phased development of its members in the POA Cloud Community,Wen&Bi(2024)constructed a Developmental Assessment system encompassing three primary indicators,namely,Cognitive Interconnectedness(CI),Social Interconnectedness(SI),and Emotional Interconnectedness(EI).Among them,EI is further subdivided into three secondary indicators:emotional experience,emotional interaction,and emotional regulation.However,the theoretical system has not yet been put into practice.This study,therefore,aims to delve into the implementation of this EI framework by refining the secondary indicators into six tertiary ones through theory-and-practice interaction under the dialectical research paradigm.The tertiary indicators and their representations were then utilized to conduct tentative assessments,validating the feasibility of the assessment method,namely,participants' self-assessment with the facilitator's feedback through in-depth dialogue.This study contributes to the theoretical framework for assessing the development of Cloud Community members.
