This paper is an empirical study of the theoretical exploration of mechanisms to promote students' 14 high-order learning in MOOC-based blended learning contexts. This paper identifies two core 15 components of high-order learning: reflective learning and integrative learning, explores the factors 16 influencing reflective learning and integrative learning among college students in MOOC-based 17 blended learning contexts, and conducts a social survey using a questionnaire. The main factors 18 influencing reflective and integrative learning were compiled through data analysis: self-efficacy, 19 course academic support, and faculty-student interaction support. When designing blended teaching 20 based on MOOC support, full consideration should be given to enhancing students' self-efficacy and 21 increasing the level of course academic support and faculty-student interaction support.

FROM GRIT TO LIFE SATISFACTION OF COLLEGE STUDENTS: PSYCHOLOGICAL CAPITAL AS A MEDIATOR

2023-12-22T18:09:03+00:00

This present conceptual paper intends to explore and investigate college students’ life satisfaction in Ji’nan, China. College students’ life satisfaction has emerged as one of the most prominent indices relating to health, and it remains a severe challenge to be measured for educational organizations due to its subjective characteristics. However, it may be tested by its predictors. The prior literature about the relationship between grit, psychological capital, and college students’ life satisfaction has been reviewed, through which the inconsistency between grit and life satisfaction has been revealed. Therefore, this paper tries to explain the relationship between college students’ life satisfaction and grit by the mediating effect of psychological capital, which may be a new conceptual model seldom conducted in previous studies, especially in Ji’nan.

2023-12-22T18:34:45+00:00

This research examined how self-improvement and self-criticism relate to anxiety and participation in sports. The administered questionnaire package was finished by 100 Chinese university students aged 18 to 39. The results showed that participation in athletics had a significant negative relationship (r = -0.31, p 0.01) with anxiety, a significant positive relationship (r = 0.43, p 0.01) with self-enhancement, and a significant negative relationship (r = -0.14, p 0.05) with self-criticism. Furthermore, it was discovered that self-criticism (0.44, p0.01) and self-enhancement (0.21, p0.01) substantially predicted anxiety. The mediation model also confirmed the mediation of self-enhancement and self-criticism between exercise and anxiety in university students.

SELF-EFFICACY AS A MEDIATOR BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE STRUCTURE AND MUSIC STAGE PERFORMANCE OF MUSIC MAJOR STUDENTS: A PROPOSED MODEL

2023-12-22T18:23:25+00:00

As an important part of music education, music stage performance has developed rapidly within the framework of modern university higher education. However, there are still many problems in the research and teaching practice. Music stage performance evaluation and related research did not consider students ' psychology, resulting in poor teaching effects. Most of the research objects of knowledge structure are teachers, ignoring the promotion of students ' knowledge structure to music stage performance. Besides, many existing studies focus on how music improves patients ' self-efficacy but ignore how self-efficacy improves music stage performance. Thus, this study aims to propose a model to explore the stage performance of music major students in universities and the covariates that can improve stage performance.
