A Study On The Factors Affecting Learning Anxiety In Virtual Learning Community

It is the era of knowledge economy now,and knowledge explosion becomes the typical feature of the times.With the rapid development of science and the deepening of the education informationization,the human life style and learning needs are constantly changing. In fact, the vast majority of the knowledge that people have learned is from informal education,and the virtual learning community just provides people with the structure which allows people to study by “informal” interaction.The virtual learning community pays attention to interaction,and has functions of powerful information storage, knowledge updating dynamically in time,enhancing communication and so on.It can provide learners with more lively learning content and learning way, extend students’ development space and attach great importance to the all.round development of students’ multiple intelligences.As a powerful platform to meet the requirements of the era of knowledge economy, the virtual learning community is increasingly attracting the attention of academia and the general public.In contemporary era,science and technology are changing with each passing day, and people’s work and life are in an increasingly fast pace,which brought different kinds of pressure,and various forms of anxiety have become common feelings of people. The anxiety problem has always been the research hotspot in the fields of cognitive psychology, neuroscience and medicine,and anxiety has very important influence on the individual’s physical and mental development.In recent years,with the popularization and application of computer technology and Internet technology, people pay more and more attention to some psychological characteristics of learners which have influences on learning efficiency in network learning environment.Among them,the anxiety problem has been paid much attention,and its main focus is on anxiety in foreign language learning,however,research on learners’ learning anxiety in the specific network learning environment—virtual learning community got very few people involved.Through the preliminary investigation and combined with my own experience,it’s found that learning anxiety phenomenon is widespread in virtual learning community and anxiety would have a severe negative impact on the learning efficiency, based on this problem,the author put forward this topic,with the purpose of providing guidance and reference to make virtual learning community serve teachers and students better.First,on the basis of analyzing, inducing and summaring the research data from domestic and foreign related fields through literature research,the paper proposed the research significance and determined the research methods.Second,we took reference to previous research results andcombined with the interview results to establish the study model preliminarily. Third,by designing the questionnaire to investigate the influence factors of learning anxiety in virtual learning community and analyze the effective questionnaire data. Finally, according to the result of data analysis, the paper concluded the relevant factors of learning anxiety and modified the model appropriately.
