An Empirical Study of Factors Influencing Undergraduates' Programming Learning Engagement in Blended Learning Environment

Abstract

In some colleges and universities, programming has become one of the compulsory subjects for undergraduates. However, the programming language has strict logic and grammar, which has an impact on learners' engagement, thereby affecting the learning effect. In this study, 100 freshmen who enrolled the programming design courses at a university in Beijing were selected as the research object, and the influencing factors of programming learning engagement were studied from the perspective of self-regulation. The study found that there were significant differences in motivational regulation between different genders, different professional categories, and whether they have studied programming; there was a significant positive correlation between motivational regulation, task value and programming learning engagement. Regression analysis showed that motivational regulation and task value had a good positive predictive effect on learning engagement.
