A Study of Learning Behavioral Engagement in Live Teaching

Abstract

Based on the related theories and research results of learning behavioral engagement, this study constructed an evaluation framework of learning behavioral engagement in live teaching, which included 24 indicators in three dimensions: compliance with norms, learning participation and social participation. A small-class live English learning for younger students on the ClassIn was taken as a case study program. Five younger students attended this English learning course of 16 lessons totaling 950 minutes. The preset indicators were preliminarily examined based on the teaching records and the recorded course data. Then, experts in the field of educational technology were invited to develop the learning behavioral engagement dimensions and indicator weightings by using the Analytic Hierarchy Process, and to determine the evaluation indicator system for the evaluation of learning behavioral engagement. Finally, based on this framework, the characteristics of learning behavioral engagement of the case course were analyzed, and the influences of students’ individual factors, teaching and environmental factors on learning behavioral engagement in live teaching were investigated.
