Abstract

The first study year is very decisive in terms of a smooth transition into and engagement with university education. The main goal of this study is to develop a multidimensional model for assessing student engagement and use it with first-year students in a research-intensive university in Finland. Based on theoretical modelling and three-step piloting, an online Nexus self-assessment questionnaire was designed and used to conduct an annual survey of first-year students from 2013 to 2018 in the target university. A total of 1936 first-year students from different disciplinary fields responded. Three different engagement clusters were observed, with each representing a very different student relationship with engagement and learning. Academically engaged students showed a very balanced relationship with academic orientation in terms of their studies and study-related communities, whereas non-academically engaged students revealed tendencies towards certain knowledge-seeking and task-avoidance behaviours. Loosely engaged students seemed to also have a shallower academic orientation and, in addition, a weaker relationship with study-related communities. The three identified engagement clusters were also distributed differently within disciplinary fields. As an implication of the study, the way in which academic teaching and learning communities at the studied institution can benefit from the engagement assessment results and offer more focused support to students is discussed.

学术参与与否?芬兰一所研究型大学一年级学生参与度建模和评估的探索性研究

摘要

就顺利过渡到大学教育和参与大学教育而言,第一学年具有决定性意义。本研究的主要目标是开发一个多维模型来评估学生的参与度,并将其用于芬兰一所研究型大学的一年级学生。在理论建模和三步试点的基础上,设计并使用在线Nexus自我评估问卷对目标大学2013年至2018年的一年级学生进行年度调查。共有1936名来自不同学科领域的一年级学生做出了回应。观察到三个不同的参与集群,每个集群代表了非常不同的学生与参与和学习的关系。学术参与的学生在他们的学习和与学习相关的社区方面表现出与学术取向的非常平衡的关系,而非学术参与的学生则表现出某些寻求知识和逃避任务的行为的倾向。松散参与的学生似乎也有较浅的学术取向,此外,与学习相关社区的关系较弱。三个确定的参与集群在学科领域内的分布也不同。作为研究的一个含义,讨论了所研究机构的学术教学和学习社区可以从参与评估结果中受益并为学生提供更有针对性的支持的方式。而非学术参与的学生则表现出某些寻求知识和逃避任务的行为的倾向。松散参与的学生似乎也有较浅的学术取向,此外,与学习相关社区的关系较弱。三个确定的参与集群在学科领域内的分布也不同。作为研究的一个含义,讨论了所研究机构的学术教学和学习社区可以从参与评估结果中受益并为学生提供更有针对性的支持的方式。而非学术参与的学生则表现出某些寻求知识和逃避任务的行为的倾向。松散参与的学生似乎也有较浅的学术取向,此外,与学习相关社区的关系较弱。三个确定的参与集群在学科领域内的分布也不同。作为研究的一个含义,讨论了所研究机构的学术教学和学习社区可以从参与评估结果中受益并为学生提供更有针对性的支持的方式。三个确定的参与集群在学科领域内的分布也不同。作为研究的一个含义,讨论了所研究机构的学术教学和学习社区可以从参与评估结果中受益并为学生提供更有针对性的支持的方式。三个确定的参与集群在学科领域内的分布也不同。作为研究的一个含义,讨论了所研究机构的学术教学和学习社区可以从参与评估结果中受益并为学生提供更有针对性的支持的方式。
