Research On The Degree Of Learning Engagement And Its Influencing Factors In Online Learning Of Higher Vocational Students

With the popularization of educational informatization,online learning has attracted more and more attention.In the case of the outbreak of the COVID-19,teachers and students of higher vocational colleges failed to return to school on time to carry out teaching activities in order to meet the needs of epidemic prevention and control.Therefore,online learning has become the most direct teaching method in this special period.Actually,there are subjective and objective problems such as insufficient teachers' skills and difficulty in obtaining the true learning status of students.These series of problems influence the learning effect of students to varying degrees.So what is the degree of student engagement in online learning? What factors will affect the learning engagement of online learning? In-depth research on this series of issues is of great significance to the continuous promotion of online learning methods.Based on theoretical analysis,actual questionnaire surveys and interviews,this research explores the mechanism of learning engagement and factors in online learning of higher vocational students.On the basis of combing domestic and foreign literature,this research conducted interviews with teachers and students.The research results show that online learning engagement is related to the three dimensions of student behavioral engagement,emotional engagement,and cognitive engagement.The influencing factors are concentrated as follows: Students' internal factors,teaching factors,family factors,and platform factors include four dimensions,among which students' internal factors include self-efficacy,learning motivation,cognitive load,and professional identity.Based on this,this study constructed a theoretical model and initially formed a test questionnaire;after pre-testing the samples,the formal questionnaire was modified and formed,using SPSS20.0 and AMOS26.0 to analyze the collected 501 valid data.The research results show that the overall situation of higher vocational students' learning engagement in online learning is on the middle level,with the highest behavioral engagement and the lowest emotional engagement.The impact of student's gender,grade and learning equipment used on students' learning engagement in online learning is not significant.A series of variables such as the location of the student's household registration,major,academic performance,net age,network conditions,and the release of relevant management systems for online learning have a significant impact on the degree of student engagement in online learning.The students' internal factors such as self-efficacy,cognitive load and family have significant influence on online learning behavior engagement.The students' internal factors such as self-efficacy,learning motivation,cognitive load and teaching factors,family factors have significant effects on online learning emotional engagement Influence.There are significant influences among self-efficacy,cognitive load,professional identity,teaching factors,family factors and cognitive input in online learning.Self-efficacy among students' internal factors is the most important factor affecting vocational students' online learning behavior engagement,emotional engagement,and cognitive engagement.The influence coefficients of this factor on the standardized path of each dimension of online learning engagement are all above0.3(p<0.001).This study believes that internal factors should increase students' self-efficacy,learning motivation,professional identity,and reduce students' cognitive load to improve their online learning engagement.External factors should provide favorable conditions for the improvement of students' learning engagement in online learning from teaching factors and family factors.Thus,it can promote the efficiency of online learning for higher vocational students and promote the development of educational informatization more effectively.
