Abstract
In educational institutions, to improve student learning outcome and performance, the information and communication technology has enabled us to embark web-based learning approaches. The traditional web-based learning environment in higher education is aimed at fulfilling the users for most of their deserved learning contents as per the course curriculum. But, in modeling the course curriculum and content, the motivational factors have been left out, through which the learner’s cognitive skills development can take place. Therefore, in e-learning courses, this issue needs to be addressed. It can be resolved through subsuming suitable learning objectives and appropriate skills based interactive learning resources, which can enhance thinking skills and cognitive behavior of learner. This paper provides theoretical framework on the pedagogical factors that can influence the quality of students' learning experience and cognitive learning skills in web based learning environment. Furthermore, this study discusses about the role of prior knowledge and learner’s thought process model in cognitive based learning environments.
Highlights
On Web-based Education Technology, most of the existing research studied about how to design better system architecture to deliver learning resources as per the learner context and interest
To the best of our knowledge, no research exists that tackles the motivational factors that influence Cognitive Learning Behavior (CLB) and the inter relation between Student Cognitive Behavior and Curriculum Content in webbased learning environment
We discussed the integration curriculum with factors that influences learning skills, will mobilize the learner’s cognitive behavior and learning outcome significantly
Summary
On Web-based Education Technology, most of the existing research studied about how to design better system architecture to deliver learning resources as per the learner context and interest. The successful implementation of web based learning that support learner’s cognitive skills, need to consider the necessary features such as learners' understandability, performance and behavior. The types of learning resources that are believed to enhance intrinsic motivation need to be integrated into the curriculum contents of the web-based learning environment. For this purpose, the strategies such as case studies, role playing, simulations, and self-evaluation are most useful. This article starts by defining the learning environment and role of learner’s prior knowledge in developing higher level cognitive skills and we proposed the learners’ thought process model in cognitive based learning environments
