情绪与在线学习

传统上,情感和认知被认为是极端对立的,而且这一观点在学习理论当中有所体现。之所以有这样的认识是因为缺乏对情感的正确理解。事实上,情绪与认知有关,情绪与智力有关,情绪与学习有关。这些观点在网上学习的实践中逐渐呈现出新的活力。本文在调查访谈几十位不同层次的在线学习大学生之后,着重探讨有关在线学习的主要情绪以及这些情绪对网络教与学过程的影响。

Emotion and On-line Learning

Traditionally, emotion and cognition have been viewed as polar opposites and this view has been incorporated into theories of learning. One reason for this may be a lack of clarity in defining emotion. In fact there are some other perspectives on how emotion and cognition, emotion and learning, are related. These considerations emerge with renewed vigor with the move to online learning. The present author has interviewed about twenty students who often study online. These students insist that emotions are critical to their online learning. Evidence from the literature and the interviews show us that emotion is essential to the teaching/ learning process.
