Abstract

Creating a positive motivational climate in an online course can engage students in their learning. Instructors may be able to better manage their courses and create a positive motivational climate if they implement online survey tools that allow them to assess the motivational climate of their courses. Teachers and researchers have documented that five student perceptions—empowerment, usefulness, success, interest, and caring—are particularly important for creating a positive motivational climate and are associated with students’ engagement and evaluations of teaching. In this paper, we describe a case study of an instructor who used an online survey tool to assess the motivational climate in his online asynchronous course over time. He then used the feedback to consider improvements that he could make to his course in the future. In addition, we describe how this process of using the online survey tool could be used by instructors to transform education.

测量在线课程中的激励氛围:使用在线调查工具促进数据驱动决策的案例研究

在在线课程中创造积极的激励氛围可以让学生投入到学习中。如果教师使用在线调查工具来评估他们的课程的激励氛围，他们可能能够更好地管理他们的课程并创造一个积极的激励氛围。教师和研究人员已经证明，五种学生感知——授权、有用、成功、兴趣和关心——对于创造积极的激励氛围特别重要，并且与学生的参与和对教学的评估有关。在本文中，我们描述了一位教师的案例研究，他使用在线调查工具来评估他的在线异步课程中随着时间的推移的动机气氛。然后，他利用这些反馈来考虑他将来可以对他的课程做出的改进。此外，我们还描述了教师如何使用在线调查工具来改变教育。
