ABSTRACT

The study presents outcomes of students at a higher education institution in walking through a learning trail guided by a mobile application for enhancing their understanding of academic integrity. A framework which consisted of topic-specific bilingual keywords was proposed to support students to reflect on the key concepts embedded in the learning trail. A total of 61 students from three cohorts were involved in the evaluation. Students’ pre-trail and post-trail reflection texts were analysed by bilingual text mining. The results indicated that after the learning trail, the students realised more the importance of the five fundamental values of academic integrity. These results were further confirmed by the summary of students’ major topics in pre-trail and post-trail reflection texts, as extracted by the LexRank method. A post-trail questionnaire survey found that students positively perceived the interesting and interactive environment provided in the learning trail. Three future research directions are discussed.

摘要

该研究展示了高等教育机构的学生通过移动应用程序引导的学习路径的结果，以增强他们对学术诚信的理解。提出了一个由特定主题的双语关键词组成的框架，以支持学生反思嵌入在学习路径中的关键概念。共有来自三个队列的61名学生参与了评估。通过双语文本挖掘对学生的前后反思文本进行了分析。结果表明，经过学习之旅，学生们更加意识到学术诚信五项基本价值观的重要性。通过LexRank方法提取的学生在课前和课后反思文本中的主要主题的总结进一步证实了这些结果。跟踪后问卷调查发现，学生对学习路径中提供的有趣和互动环境持积极态度。讨论了三个未来的研究方向。
