Profiles of Attitudinal Change among MOOCs Learners: A Latent Profile Analysis

• In Event: RTD - MOOCs: Knowledge Construction and Attitudinal Change

Short Description

This study analyzed MOOC learner profiles in regard to their attitudinal change as learning outcomes. Using the sample with 796 participants from three different MOOCs, we found that MOOC learners fell into three significantly different clusters, Knower (n = 426, 53.5%), Doer (n = 36, 4.6%), and Synthesizer (n = 334, 41.9%). Chi-square analysis and multivariate analysis were used to investigate the relationships between student profiles and overall satisfaction, enrollment purpose, and preferred learning activity.
