Disentangling the Antecedents of Relationship between Deep Approach to Learning and Student Learning Outcomes

摘要

The multiple characteristics of students encourage universities to provide a learning environment that integrates teaching and learning in one and to strengthen students' learning motivation through student-oriented teaching model, so as to enhance students' input in study. In this study, the concept of depth learning is adopted to measure students' input in study, so as to explore the outcomes of specialized teaching mode and students' learning outcomes. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze a sample of 2,342 students from 16 Taiwanese higher education institutions by structural equation modeling. The results showed that specialized teaching modes (explorative and exploitative learning) could increase deep approach to learning; explorative and exploitative learning have positive effects on learning outcomes (cognitive gains and non-cognitive gains); deep approach to learning has significant mediated effect between teaching modes and learning outcomes.
