A Research On Learning State And Learning Dynamic Mechanism Of Primary And Secondary School Students

Self-regulation represents the capability of individuals to adapt to the requirements of changing environments. Students need to use their existing knowledge construction to master new knowledge actively in school and daily life, and this is a process with students evolving themselves in the learning activity on their own initiative. Central characteristics of self-regulation learning are dynamic loops and the inclusion of motivational and emotional components. This research tries to investigate the relationship between learning concept, experience, motivation and strategies and their dynamics mechanism from the perspective of these factors.This research interviewed 42 primary and secondary school students from grade 1 to grade 8 in Shanghai. The result shows:Students in grade 1 and 2 have narrow learning concept and positive experience. They mainly follow teachers and parents'requirements when learning, which means low initiative.Students develop their learning concept since grade 3 with higher grade. There are no students with narrow learning concept since grade 4 while it turns out again in grade 8.There are significant difference for positive experience, external motivation and internal motivation between high score students and low score students (students with broad learning concept and narrow learning concept), while there is no significant difference for negative experience between them.Not doing invalid work, master orientation and being good at summing up experience are essential index for efficient self regulation learning strategy.Internal motivation is the most essential factor which influences students learning state. Internal seekers are driven by internal motivation, with broad learning concept, effective strategies and positive experience and thus form a good dynamics loop system. Negative learners have no chance to choose learning content freely. They always have narrow learning concept, inefficient strategies and, negative experience and thus form a bad dynamics loop system.
