Prediction Model of Students' Learning Motivation Based on Combinatorial Optimization Algorithm

The strength of college students' learning enthusiasm directly affects their learning effect. Studying and predicting students' learning enthusiasm has positive significance for improving college students themselves and college education. Existing methods have not involved how to select and extract features related to students' learning enthusiasm, so it is difficult to meet the needs of learning enthusiasm prediction. Therefore, this article takes English learning as an example to conduct a research on the prediction model of students' learning enthusiasm based on combinatorial optimization algorithm. Taking English learning as an example, this article expounds in detail the main manifestations of students' learning enthusiasm, and predicts the intention of students to participate in learning behaviors based on the enumerated behaviors, so as to judge students' learning enthusiasm, and gives the construction method of the prediction model. This study constructs a network model for the evaluation of students' learning autonomy, and finally outputs the grade results of students' learning autonomy evaluation. Based on the obtained predictions of students' participation in learning behavior intentions and the evaluation results of students' learning autonomy, a combined model is established through the weighting of the inverted error method to predict the regression of students' learning enthusiasm. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of the constructed single model and combined model.

Gamified Entrepreneurship Courses Motivate College Students’ Satisfaction: An Integrated Flow Framework

Since the Gamified Entrepreneurship Courses have been applied to college students’ entrepreneurship courses, it has provided interactive and immersive course experiences to help improve the effect of course teaching. From the perspective of college students, Gamified Entrepreneurship Courses are a novel teaching method, and the satisfaction of college students with Gamified Entrepreneurship Courses will determine the future development of this course model. However, current research shows that college students’ satisfaction with Gamified Entrepreneurship Courses has not yet reached the desired level. Therefore, this study aims to study the factors and mechanisms that affect college students’ satisfaction with gamification entrepreneurship courses by constructing an integrated flow framework. A total of 205 college students who participated in the Gamified Entrepreneurship Courses were obtained, and the study used partial least squares (PLS) to analyze the measurement and structural models. The results show that the satisfaction of Gamified Entrepreneurship Courses is affected by presence and the competence needs, autonomy needs, and related needs in Self-determination Theory (SDT), and this effect is generated through the mediating variable of flow. Therefore, we verified that competence, autonomy, relatedness, and presence are key determinants in helping college students enter a state of flow, flow, in turn, reflects the level of satisfaction with the course. Our research provides empirical evidence for entrepreneurship curriculum teachers to improve college students’ satisfaction with the curriculum and continuous learning.

The Mediating Role of Learning Engagement Between Self-Efficacy and Academic Achievement Among Chinese College Students.

The link between academic self-efficacy and academic achievement and its potential mediation by learning engagement was investigated in college students in China. The Chinese versions of the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale, Academic Achievement Scale, and Learning Engagement Scale were administered to 1158 Chinese college students (544 men, 614 women; age [years]: M=19.37, SD=1.16, ranging from 17 to 30 years; college year: 641 freshmen, 302 sophomores, 197 juniors, 18 seniors). The results showed that, among Chinese college students, there were positive correlations between academic self-efficacy and both academic achievement and learning engagement, and between learning engagement and academic achievement. Additionally, a structural equation model demonstrated that learning engagement could mediate the association between academic self-efficacy and achievement. Academic self-efficacy, learning engagement, and academic achievement were found to be significantly and positively associated in Chinese college students, with the association between self-efficacy and achievement observed to be significantly mediated by learning engagement, which mediates the link between self-efficacy and achievement. As the study was cross-sectional, causal inferences were difficult to determine; thus, longitudinal studies should be conducted in the future for further analysis of the causal relationships between these three variables. The present research results reveal the mechanism by which academic self-efficacy of college students impacts their academic achievement, expanding the research perspective of learning engagement, and can help guide the development of interventions to improve college students' academic achievement.

Probe into the Positive Factors of College Students' Subjective Well-being

"Subjective well-being" has increasingly become a hot topic of widespread concern. Researchers often use tools such as foreign scales to measure and study college students' subjective well-being. As there are many factors that affect subjective well-being, this essay has a tendentious and comprehensive summary of these research results. It summarizes the results from the following four aspects: individual abilities, psychological factors, environmental factors and demographic factors. As for the specific influence depth, it is still to be further studied. This paper aims to provide a summary of previous studies on college students’ subjective well-being and give some advice about directions in the future to make contributions to improve college students’ subjective well-being. This paper summarizes the positive factors that affect college students' subjective well-being from four aspects: individual ability factors, emotion, environment, and demography.

Open educational resources: Evaluation of students' intention to use and motivation to create

AbstractThe advent of open educational resources (OER) has increased access to pedagogical resources that promote the quality of education, but the potential of the OER to transform pedagogical practices is yet to be realized, mainly as a result of a lack of concentration on the policies and practices necessary to support the idea of openness within the academic institutions. Several exploratory attentions have been given to educators’ adoption of OER, but little or none exists on university students’ intention to use and motivation to create OER. This study explores university students’ intention to use OER in Study 1 and motivation to create OER in Study 2 using a non‐experimental research design with a survey method and partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS‐SEM) for the two studies. The findings indicated that the relationship between perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, zero price accessibility and availability, and attitude and university students’ intention to use OER is significantly positive for Study 1. This showed that university students’ intention to use OER can be influenced by these factors. The relationship between competence and mastery of content, personal development, reward system and motivation to create OER is significantly positive for Study 2. This implies that university students are not mere users of OER but partners in the OER crusade as creators. Practitioner notesWhat is already known about this topic Significant roles of OER. Faculty members as OER developers. Students as mere users of OER. What this paper adds Factors that influence university students’ intentions to use OER using a blended TAM model. Factors that influence university students’ motivation to create OER using a blended SDT theory. The significant roles of university students as OER developers. Implications for practice and/or policy University students are not mere users of OER but partners in the OER crusade as creators. Extensive information on the factors to focus on by faculty members to improve university students’ intentions to use and motivation to create OER. The need for OER policymakers to concentrate on the factors highlighted in this study to make OER policies that will promote university students’ motivation to create OER.
