Learner Engagement:A New Perspective for Enhancing Our Understanding of Learner Motivation and Workplace Learning
提出从心理投入视角研究职场学习,认为这能更好理解学习者动机及知识技能获取,并回顾了影响学习者投入的学习方法与情境因素,提出六项未来研究方向。
Organizations invest millions of dollars in workplace learning programs to develop human capital for competitive advantage. The effectiveness of workplace learning programs is directly linked to learner motivation. However, we contend that our current understanding of learner motivation and workplace learning is limited by the tendency to conduct research based on the traditional instructional system design model and the limited adoption of organizational behavior theories to guide such research. We propose that studying workforce learning from a psychological engagement perspective is necessary to gain a better understanding of learner motivation and subsequent knowledge and skill acquisition. We review studies of learning methods and contextual factors that likely influence learner engagement. We propose a research agenda focusing on six directions for future research.
