Research On The Impact Of MOOC On Graduate Students' Learning

MOOC is a teaching mode based on network platform, in which teachers post free video of course content on the Internet, and global students can individually choose courses according to their preferences and needs and real-time interaction is implemented. With the development of MOOC, more and more graduate students join the MOOC learning team. Conducting research on MOOC learning of graduates is of great importance to changes on graduate teaching concepts and teaching models,enrichment of curriculum system, improvement of teaching quality and development of information capabilities and innovative thinking.This study, combined with the characteristics of MOOC and graduate study,revises the questionnaire "Research on Learning Performance under MOOC Learning Environment" prepared by Pan Lijia, a postgraduate in School of Management in Zhejiang University, distributes 500 paper questionnaires to graduates in Nanchang University, Wuhan University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Shaanxi Normal University and receives 392 valid questionnaires. On the basis of data analysis and further interviews, it draws the following conclusions:First, "Questionnaire about Impact of MOOC on Graduate Study" shows a multidimensional structure. The five dimensions include diversity, interactivity,autonomy, participation and experience.Secondly, the questionnaire revised by this study has a good reliability and validity, which can be a measuring tool of MOOC learning situation of graduates.Thirdly, the impact of MOOC on graduate study has significant differences in part of the data. The MOOC courses completion rate of graduates in Wuhan University and Xi'an Jiaotong University is significantly higher than that of graduates in Nanchang University and Shaanxi Normal University.Fourthly, MOOC has a positive impact on learning methods, learning channels,self-learning ability, learning exchange and learning enthusiasm of graduates and plays an important role in promoting education equity and graduate education reform.But MOOC relatively lacks incentive mechanism, which will easily make learners' passion and initiative fade; assessment System of MOOC is poor, which tends to result in issues on academic integrity; course system of MOOC is imperfect, which does not allow systematical learning; emphasis is different between colleges and universities, showing a polarization.According to the existing shortages of MOOC, this study presents suggestions from the aspects of graduates themselves and school management. Graduates should establish a correct online learning concepts and enhance the awareness of integrity;schools should update the educational concepts, establish online teaching awareness,strengthen the construction MOOC for graduates, and guide and manage the graduate study.
