Study On Mechanism Of College Environment And Students’Motivation On Regulating Self-Determination Involvement

In China, enrollment scale of higher education has been enlarged increasinglyfrom21century. The process of educational popularization is accelerating step by step,and drew public attention with the quality of education from colleges and universities.How to assess the quality of higher education scientifically, and how to plan thedirection and intensity of college educational resources investment had been thegeneral orientation of the development of educational reform, in order to transformthe institution reform into internal quality promotion in21century. However, there arethree problems in the assessment system of higher education quality in our country:firstly, for assessment object, scholars pay more attention to―the cost performance‖between instructional resources (input) quality and final product quality (students’cultivation quality) rather than service quality of customer orientation (process).Secondly, for assessment subject, colleges pay more attention to assessment ofadministration rather than diversification assessment from stakeholders. Thirdly, forauthority dimension, the leaders of higher education would accept the reform from topto bottom, rather than the changes from bottom to top; external assessment alsoreplaced the dominance of student centered self-assessment. As the reference framefor perfecting the construction of college environment, the development of studentinvolvement theory and self-determination theory (SDT) provide a new thought forexploring students’ learning experiences and learning procedure and analyzing theimpact of motivation on student involvement.In this study, research perspective is how to promote the growth of studentscognition, practice and emotion; research object is the procedure of studentinvolvement; research methods contain student involvement theory andself-determination theory; partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM)and Logistic regression are the research tools for analyzing the data. We research theinternalization procedure of involvement, the impact of motivation on studentbehavior and the regulatory mechanism of college environment from three aspects indetail.Firstly, after summarizing the classical theories about student involvement, weconstruct a new full model measuring student internalization system based on the superiorities and defects of the theoretical model constructed by the predecessors. Onthis basis, the full model was split into four primary chains: involvement-gains,environment-involvement, motivation-involvement and environment-motivation. Weexpected to discriminate the key environment elements impacting student gains andinvolvement through our analyzing. These elements will make students get twiceresults with half effort on training their abilities, which is called―lever effect‖.Secondly, self-determination theory has become an important instrumentmeasuring the psychological changes in the process of analyzing students learninginvolvement. SDT remedied the defects that the focus of most current studies onstudents’ learning experiences was limited in students’ superficial behaviors andperception. It also contributes to excavate deep reasons of deciding students’behaviorselection.Thirdly, after introducing the variable of motivation to analyze the mechanism ofaction of student involvement on their gains, the benign interaction between studentsand colleges formed a circulation loop of spiral escalation. With the escalation ofspiral, the service quality of college and environmental construction would bepromoted together with the improvement of student involvement, and form a kind ofsituation of improving between students and colleges alternately. It will lead togrowing together between students and colleges.
