Learner Behaviour in a MOOC Practice-oriented Course: In Empirical Study Integrating TAM and TPB

Abstract

Few practice-oriented courses are currently integrated into online learning platforms, such as OpenCourseWare, Khan Academy, and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). It is worthwhile to explore how learners respond to information technology and new teaching methods when practice-oriented course are placed online. Therefore, this study probes learner willingness to participate in a practice-oriented course distributed through a MOOC platform, investigating relationships among perceptions, behavioural intentions, and actual behaviour.The current research framework integrates the Technology Acceptance Model and the Theory of Planned Behavior as its core theoretical basis. Empirical data were collected through a cross-section survey. All participants were students of 2D Animation Production, with a total of 272 respondents. The questionnaire data

Exploring Sustainability Environment Educational Design and Learning Effect Evaluation through Migration Theory: An Example of Environment Educational Serious Games

“…This model has been widely used in a variety of science and technology accepted behavior research, and hypotheses in the model have also been repeatedly verified [21][22][23]. Multiple previous studies also pointed out that TAM has certain explanatory power for the integration of computer assistance instruction (CAI) and information communicational technology (ICT) in teaching [24][25][26][27][28][29]. The research results of TAM indicated that users' attitudes towards the usefulness and easiness of technology products have a positive impact on the acceptance attitude and intention of products and proved that perceptual usefulness and easiness have a positive impact on intentions [30][31][32].…”

“…Step 5-goodness-of-fit (GoF) model fitness index [29,65,[68][69][70]. In addition to evaluating the model predictive power, the effect value f 2 of structural models is also an important measure of performance.…”

Analysing Structured Learning Behaviour in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs): An Approach Based on Process Mining and Clustering

“…Their behaviour looks like 'Targeting" (Madonado-Ahauad et al, 2018), but our students often appeared unable to successfully complete the course. Interpreting this behaviour from perspectives such as the behaviour intention theory might shed light on student motives for enrolling and dropping off (Henderikx et al, 2017;Yang & Su, 2017). clusters 2 and 3 appear to be nuances of the disengaging learners (Kizilcec et al, 2013), with cluster 3 showing somewhat more ordered learning behaviour, and better learning results.…”

Effects of Using Task-Driven Classroom Teaching on Students’ Learning Attitudes and Learning Effectiveness in an Information Technology Course

“…According to the John Dewey's education theory [1], the "learning by doing" approach takes the students as the learning task center. Compared with traditional teaching, it is helpful to mobilize students' learning enthusiasm and get them to participate in the process of teaching and learning, therefore it promotes the integration of the curriculum and fits today's STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education thought [13][14][15][16][17][18]. In the task-driven classroom teaching method, we construct suitable learning tasks, measures, requirements, learning environment and conditions, and these guide students to find the best way to solve the problem [7].…”

“…In this paper, we design an experimental questionnaire to understand students' learning attitude towards information technology courses and their knowledge. There are 10 multiple-choice questions in the questionnaire [17]. Each choice is based on students' knowledge of information technology and the development of attitude.…”
