Research on the Attention-Driven Mechanism of Online Learning for Working Students Based on Grounded Theory
The effectiveness of online learning has always been a hot topic in the academic community,and students'attention is one of the fundamental guarantees for delivering instructional content.On-job students have distinct differences in their learning situations compared to general students,which necessitates specific exploration.Based on interviews and classroom videos with teachers and students,this empirical study uses grounded theory to investigate the attention phenomena of on-job students in live streaming,recorded lectures,MOOCs,and micro-courses,and proposes a model for the attention-driven mechanism of online learning for working students.Learning motivation is the primary intrinsic driving force for attention in online learning,while strategies such as interactive teacher-student communication and self-organized peer learning under task mechanisms are key means to enhance student attention.Course arrangement,technical platforms,and instructional teams play a supportive role in online teaching.The key to improving attention in online learning lies in stimulating learning motivation,resolving the sense of distance,and constructing course contexts.It is suggested to employ these attention-driven mechanisms to enhance the effectiveness of online learning for on-job students through multiple strategies.
