Influence of a Distributed Learning Environment on Learners’ Performance

Abstract

Online high-quality teaching and learning behaviors can take place anytime and anywhere, which comprehensively breaks through isolation of physical space. Individual learning in distributed learning environment is an activity that is transformed from process of individual self-cognition to social cognition of the group. It attaches great importance to interactive behaviors in learning. By strengthening cooperative learning, learning motivation can be further stimulated and learning performance can be improved. A questionnaire about the influence of distributed learning environment on learners’ learning performance was designed. Influence of four components of distributed learning environment interaction on learners’ learning performance was measured, and the mediating effect of collaborative learning on the interaction between learners’ learning performance and distributed learning environment was analyzed. Results show systematic management support of self-knowledge, support of learners’ expression and support of self-reflection can significantly improve learning performance of learners. Collaborative learning plays a full mediating effect in the interaction between distributed learning environment and learning performance of learners. Grade is significant at 0.01 level for learning performance. Conclusions are of great significance to promote occurrence of effective learning behaviors in interactive process of collaborative learning from the perspective of distributed learning environment.
