ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate an authentic contextual learning framework with six constructs to model the relationships among essential factors of authentic contextual learning. In particular, this framework explores the relationships across six constructs, i.e. learning by applying, healthy learning, collaborative learning, creativity, sustainability, and scalability. A total of 99 learners participated in this study. All learners had to fill out a questionnaire; then, the data were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis and partial least square analysis. The result shows that the developed framework has a good predictive power for evaluating the effectiveness of a sustainable and scalable authentic contextual learning (SSACL) design. From the results, it was found that learning by applying not only can unlock learners’ imagination and enhance high cognition development thereby helping creativity but also can sustain learning motivation (sustainability). In addition, learning by applying can make learners intend to do more learning tasks in different contexts, which promotes learners’ interests to do more applications in authentic contexts (scalability). Moreover, learning by applying can also give learners a healthy learning experience by moving their body, walking, and breathe fresh air outside, thereby can help their health as well.

摘要

本研究的目的是开发和验证一个真实的情境学习框架，该框架具有六种结构，以模拟真实情境学习的基本因素之间的关系。特别是，该框架探讨了六种结构之间的关系，即应用学习、健康学习、协作学习、创造力、可持续性和可扩展性。共有 99 名学习者参与了这项研究。所有学习者都必须填写一份调查问卷；然后，使用探索性因素分析和偏最小二乘分析对数据进行分析。结果表明，所开发的框架对于评估可持续且可扩展的真实情境学习（SSACL）设计的有效性具有良好的预测能力。从结果来看，研究发现，应用学习不仅可以释放学习者的想象力，增强高度认知发展，从而有助于创造力，而且可以维持学习动机（可持续性）。此外，应用学习可以使学习者愿意在不同的情境中做更多的学习任务，从而促进学习者在真实情境中做更多应用的兴趣（可扩展性）。此外，学以致用还可以让学习者通过活动身体、散步、呼吸户外新鲜空气来获得健康的学习体验，从而对他们的健康也有帮助。这提高了学习者在真实环境中进行更多应用的兴趣（可扩展性）。此外，学以致用还可以让学习者通过活动身体、散步、呼吸户外新鲜空气来获得健康的学习体验，从而对他们的健康也有帮助。这提高了学习者在真实环境中进行更多应用的兴趣（可扩展性）。此外，学以致用还可以让学习者通过活动身体、散步、呼吸户外新鲜空气来获得健康的学习体验，从而对他们的健康也有帮助。
