Exploring Students' Behaviors in Editing Learning Environment

Abstract

As a pathway for learning, remix has become one of the most important practices within the field of open educational resources. In this study, we investigate the searching and re-editing behavior of students in an online web environment. Participants were asked to search and remix the retrieved web information, which was based on the content of textbook. To explore learning process in the remixing environment, the relationships among function of thinking styles, the search behaviors, the edit behavior, pre-performance, and the final remixing performance are analyzed. Various behavior data are recorded, including web visiting log, interaction log and eye tracking data. The finding provides insight into how to understand the behaviors associated with underlying cognitive and learning performances.
