Research On The Relationship Of Learning Burnout With The Knowledge Value And Self-Regulated Learning Of The Students From Higher Vocational Technical Colleges

Many scholars have paid close attention to the learning burnout of the college students in recent years. Learning burnout refers to the psychological state of burnout caused by the lack of interests and motivation in lessons or by hard stress from lessons and other factors of different individual psych-levels. Learning burnout results in such behaviour as learning evasiveness and retreat.Learning burnout has affected the psychological development of the college students and undermined the quality of higher education. Students from higher vocational technical colleges also have serious problem of learning burnout which can not be ignored. How to prevent or reduce learning burnout is a subject worth studying.Much research has been done into factors causing learning burnout both at home and abroad. However, academic journal index shows that little research has been done on the relationship of learning burnout with knowledge values and self-regulated learning.This thesis will focus on the research into this relationship on the basis of investigation and questionaires conducted on the students from higher vocational technical colleges concerning the issues of knowledge values, self-regulated learning and learning burnout. It will provide theoretical and practical ground for preventing and stopping learning burnout.Data collection has been made on the basis of investigation of 1258 students at colleges and vocational colleges in the form of"Questionnaires on Knowledge Importance""Questionnaires on Self-Regulated Learning"and"Investigation Form of Learning Burnout". Discussions, comparisons and analysis have been conducted upon the data collected from quetionnaire and forms from1207 among the 1258 students. The following conclusions have been drawn:(1). Students from higher vocational technical colleges have great differences in grades and gender as far as knowledge values are concerned. There are not obvious differences in majors. Students from non-vocational colleges have differences in grades, gender as well as in knowledge values.(2) Students from higher vocational technical colleges have differences in grades but not in gender and majors as far as self-regulated learning is concerned.(3) Students from higher vocational technical colleges have differences in grades, gender but not in majors as far as learning burnout is concerned.(4) There is a positive relationship between knowledge values and self-regulated learning of the students from higher vocational technical colleges. The more importance the students pay to knowledge learning, the better self-regulated learning ability the students have. The ability of active learning can be well predicted by students'knowledge values.(5). There is an obvious negative relationship between self- regulated learning ability and learning burnout of the students from higher vocational technical colleges. The better self- regulated learning ability can make lower the the level of the students'learning burnout.This paper boils down to the following revelations(1). Much attention must be paid to the development of the students'knowledge value in the process of classroom teaching at higher vocational technical colleges.(2). Teachers at higher vocational technical colleges must pay attention to the development of the students'learning strategy and promote their active learning ability.(3). Teachers at higher vocational technical colleges should try to promote the quality of classroom teaching, reform the old teaching mode and help to develop the students'self-regulated learning ability so that their learning burnout will be effectively reduced.
