Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether gender differences exist in relationships between the three presences – teaching, cognitive and social – in the community of inquiry (CoI) model and online students’ learning experiences measured with perceived learning and course satisfaction. Participants were 657 undergraduates taking online courses at a university in South Korea. Results showed significant differences in sub-elements of cognitive and social presence by gender. In addition, regression analyses revealed that sub-elements of the CoI predicted online students’ perceived learning and course satisfaction differently by gender. A discussion explains gender differences in online courses in South Korea in which a prerecorded video was the principal modality of learning. Finally, practical implications to enhance diverse students’ success are proposed from the perspective of the CoI model. Implications for practice or policy: Despite the development of the CoI specifically for a discussion-based online course, it can still be used to predict students’ learning experiences in video-based online learning. Considering gender difference when designing and developing an online course may enhance student learning experiences in online learning. Changing the way the videos are created may contribute to enhancing the three presences in the CoI model, which essentially improve online students’ learning experiences.

性别在网络课程中重要吗?透过探究共同体的镜头来看问题
本研究的目的是调查在探究社区(CoI)模式中的三种存在(教学、认知和社会)与在线学生的学习体验(以感知学习和课程满意度衡量)之间的关系是否存在性别差异。参与者是657名在韩国一所大学学习在线课程的本科生。结果显示,不同性别的认知和社会存在的子元素存在显著差异。此外,回归分析显示,CoI的子元素对在线学生感知学习和课程满意度的预测因性别而异。一场讨论解释了韩国在线课程中的性别差异,在这些课程中,预先录制的视频是主要的学习方式。最后,从CoI模型的角度提出了提高多样化学生成功的实际意义。对实践或政策的影响:尽管CoI专门针对基于讨论的在线课程开发,但它仍然可以用于预测学生在基于视频的在线学习中的学习体验。在设计和开发在线课程时考虑性别差异可能会增强学生在在线学习中的学习体验。改变视频的创建方式可能有助于增强CoI模型中的三种存在,这从根本上改善了在线学生的学习体验。
