A Model of Learning Climate Formation Based on Small-World Network

Abstract

Forming excellent learning climate is vital both for a school and for students. Traditional researches tend to analyze the problem in theory so that we can hardly find papers with precise mathematical models. In this paper, we construct a small-world network to represent the personal relation network among school students, and use all the students’ learning attitudes to represent the school’s learning climate. Based on it we build an learning climate formation model with considering students’ consistent degree, the friendly degree among students and the influences of teachers and parents. During the simulation, we analyze the effect of different impact factor on learning climate formation. It proves teachers and parents have a significant impact on the formation of learning climate. They should take appropriate measures to help students form favorable learning habits.
