The Influence Mechanism of Learning Community on Undergraduates'Social-emotional Competency
Social-emotional competency is an important factor to undergraduates'comprehensive development,their adapting to and serving the society.Learning community as one of high-impact practices,takes teacher-student interaction and peer interaction as its main function form to affect college students'competency development by means of the community empowerment so that exploring the mecha-nism of undergraduates'participation in learning community on their social emotional competency can pro-vide an important path for improving the quality of undergraduate talent.Considering students are nested within the school environment,this study took 127 512 undergraduates from 107 universities as research ob-jects,and adopted the multilevel structural equation model to analyze the influence of the perception of learning community and the engagement in learning community(teacher-student interaction and peer inter-action)on social-emotional competency both at the student level and school level simultaneously.Results indicated that the perception of learning community directly predicted social-emotional competency at both the student and school levels,and indirectly predicted social-emotional competency at the student level through the mediating effect of teacher-student interaction and peer interaction.At the school level,teacher-student interaction has a significant mediating effect between the perception of learning community and so-cial-emotional competency while the mediating effect of peer interaction is not significant.By comparison,teacher-student interaction at the school level and peer interaction at the student level are more positive pre-dictors of social-emotional competency.Thereby,Learning community is an important field for college students to exercise and enhance their social-emotional competency.Universities need to strengthen the en-vironmental support of the learning community,enhance teacher-student interaction and peer interaction in the same direction,and establish the social emotional education atmosphere.
