Purpose

This study aims to explore the influence of topic familiarity on the four stages of college students' learning search process.

Design/methodology/approach

This study clarified the effects of topic familiarity on students' learning search process by conducting a simulation experiment based on query formulation, information item selection, information sources and learning output.

Findings

The results characterized users' interaction behaviors in increasing topic familiarity through their use of more task descriptions as queries, increased reformulation of queries, construction of more purposeful query formulation, reduced attention to a topic's basic concept content and increased exploration of academic platform contents.

Originality/value

This study proposed three innovative indicators which were proposed to evaluate the effects of topic familiarity on college students' learning search process, and the adopted metrics were useful for observing differences in college students' learning output as their topic familiarity increased. It contributes to the understanding of a user's search process and learning output to support the optimization function of learning-related information search systems and improve their effect on the user's search process for learning.

话题熟悉度对大学生学习搜索过程的影响

目的

本研究旨在探讨话题熟悉度对大学生学习搜索过程四个阶段的影响。

设计/方法/方法

本研究通过基于查询公式、信息项选择、信息来源和学习输出的模拟实验，阐明了主题熟悉度对学生学习搜索过程的影响。

发现

结果表明，用户的交互行为通过使用更多的任务描述作为查询来增加主题熟悉度，增加查询的重新表述，构建更有目的的查询表述，减少对主题基本概念内容的关注以及增加对学术平台内容的探索。

原创性/价值

本研究提出了三个创新指标，用于评估主题熟悉度对大学生学习搜索过程的影响，所采用的指标有助于观察大学生在主题熟悉度增加时学习输出的差异。它有助于理解用户的搜索过程和学习输出，以支持学习相关信息搜索系统的优化功能，提高其对用户学习搜索过程的影响。
