Research On Influencing Factors Of Learners' Learning Path In Informal Environment

Popular science venues are an important part of the informal learning environment.They can not only provide popular science exhibitions for learners,but also meet the individual learning needs of learners.The learning process of venues is stochastic and dynamic.Learning path is an important carrier of learning process,and it is closely related to the learning effect of learners.Learners' choice of learning path will be influenced by many factors of their own or external environment.Therefore,it is the focus of this study to clarify the influencing factors of learners' learning path,explore learners' learning process and make learners realize the meaning construction of knowledge.This paper is based on the popular science venues in informal environment.The aim of the study is to identify the influencing factors of learners' learning path.Through literature analysis and analysis of space design,exhibit design and young learners in the exhibition area of Beijing Science Center,this paper puts forward the influencing factors system of learners' learning path in the environment of popular science venues,including gender,age,learner attributes,prior knowledge,visiting experience,interest in learning and initiative in learning;strong group communication in social and cultural factors;Degree:Exhibits setting and exhibition area crowding in physical environment factors.The basic elements of learning path are defined,including path length,learning time and sequence of path nodes.Based on the system of influencing factors of learning path,the research hypothesis is made.Taking young learners in venues as the research object,the relevant data of learning subject,social culture,physical environment,path length,learning time and sequence of path nodes are obtained by questionnaire survey and observation.Through descriptive statistics,saliency test and correlation analysis,we found that learners' age,previous knowledge level,visiting experience,learning interest,learning initiative and crowded venues have an impact on learners' learning path length;learners' age,learners' attributes,previous knowledge level,visiting experience,learning interest,learners Motivation,communication intensity and exhibition area crowding have an impact on learners' learning time;learners' age,learners' attributes,previous knowledge level,visiting experience,learning interest,communication intensity,exhibition area crowding and Exhibition setting will affect learners' choice of route node sequence.In order to further improve the learning effect and learning experience of learners in the venue environment,this study proposes that popular science venues should be designed for learners as pioneer organizers,create a cooperative environment,and enrich exhibits,so as to provide reference for the development of popular science.
