Although Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) attract millions of people to enroll in their courses, the completion rate for most courses is very low. A majority of MOOCs students are not fully engaged in MOOCs, thus leading them to quit in the early stage of the courses. Therefore, it is important to investigate students’ engagement in MOOCs. Drawing on self-determination theory and the theory of relationship quality, this study proposes a model that conceptualizes the MOOCs engagement as consisting of psychological engagement and behavioral engagement and explores the antecedents of students’ engagement in MOOCs. The research model is tested using data collected from 374 students of Chinese University MOOC. The results show that fulfillment of three basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness have significant positive effects on intrinsic motivation, increasing students’ psychological engagement in MOOCs. Relationship quality significantly predicts students’ psychological engagement, and psychological engagement promotes behavioral engagement in MOOCs. Implications for research and practice as well as limitations of this study are discussed finally.  相似文献   

Walking backwards into the future: Indigenous wisdom within design education     

Nan O’Sullivan 《Educational Philosophy and Theory》2019,51(4):424-433

This research parallels Tongan academic Hūfanga ‘Okusitino Māhina’s assertions in the 1994 Contemporary Pacific article Our Sea of Islands, that ‘People are thought to walk forward into the past and walk backward into the future, both taking place in the present, where the past and the future are constantly mediated in the ever-transforming present’ alongside those of Professor Terry Irwin and fellow Transition Designers in which they discuss the use of Indigenous Wisdom to enable designing for the Long Now as defined by Brand in his 1999 book The Clock for the Long Now: Time and Responsibility. In the 2015 Transition Design Monograph Irwin asserts that, ‘Transition Design draws on knowledge and wisdom from the past to conceive solutions in the present with future generations in mind’. This paper draws on the pre-industrial wisdom of indigenous knowledge, specifically that of the Pacific regions, Moana, who have lived and designed sustainably in-place for generations to illustrate the value it holds for the formulation of sustainable and sustaining futures.  相似文献

基于PCA和ANFIS的黄土湿陷系数预测     

安宁 《深圳职业技术学院学报》2011,10(1):28-31

运用人工智能原理,提出一种基于主成分分析法（PCA）与自适应神经模糊推理系统（ANFIS）的黄土湿陷系数预测方法．首先通过主成分分析对黄土的物理指标提取主成分,以消除变量间的相关性和减少模型输入量的目的;再利用神经网络的高自适应性和模糊推理系统的推理能力建立ANFIS模型,提出一种新的黄土湿陷性预测方法．通过实测数据和预测数据的对比分析,平均误差0．29％,最大误差20％,在工程上可以接受的范围,实例说明这种预测方法是可行的．  相似文献   

基于BP神经网络和AR模型的人口预测     

贾楠  胡红萍  白艳萍 《商丘师范学院学报》2011,27(3):6-9

利用MATLAB编程软件,分别建立BP神经网络和AR模型,采用全国出生率,死亡率,老年抚养率等9个指标作为样本,分别对BP网络和AR模型进行训练,预测5年后的人口数量.结果表明这两种方法预测人口均是可行的,效果较好,误差很小,但是AR模型较适合线性预测,而BP网络适合较非线性预测.  相似文献   

陆机作品用韵考     

安牧阳 《南宁师范高等专科学校学报》2011,(4):92-94

陆机现存作品十卷,大部分为韵文,其作品用韵,可以归纳系连出37个韵部,基本与周祖谟先生考证的魏晋宋时期韵部相吻合,但是亦有比较多的韵部混用现象。研究陆机作品用韵情况对于了解魏晋时期音韵,特别是西晋音有着重要的参考价值。  相似文献
