The Impact of Undergraduates'Interdisciplinary Learning Engagement on the Learning Outcomes under the General Cultivation Mode:The Moderating Effect of Interdisciplinary Cognition
The general cultivation mode is an exploration of the localization of general education in Chi-nese first-class universities for cultivating interdisciplinary talents. Based on a questionnaire survey of 863 under-graduates from three C9 universities,it was found that the students'"interdisciplinary learning engagement"(learning initiative,strategic learning,scientific research participation) and"interdisciplinary learning outcomes"(disciplinary vision and knowledge understanding,interdisciplinary learning strategy application,cooperation and communication abilities) are quite good on the whole. The former has a positive effect on the latter,and"inter-disciplinary cognition"plays a moderating role between learning engagement and learning outcomes. Better inter-disciplinary cognition promotes interdisciplinary learning outcomes in two dimensions:learning strategy and scien-tific research project participation. Research shows that freshmen education should strengthen interdisciplinary cognitive content,learning methods,and thinking abilities. In addition,undergraduate scientific research training should also be incorporated into the curriculum system of the general cultivation mode.
