ABSTRACT

With the continuous deepening and development of blended learning research, students' learning engagement in blended learning contexts has become an increasingly important research issue, but there is no unified and standardized scale of students' learning engagement. This research attempts to explore the dimensions and indicators of the scale of students' learning engagement in blended learning contexts based on the theory of learning engagement at home and abroad, traditional learning engagement scale and online learning engagement scale, and form the initial scale of students' learning engagement in blended learning contexts; Then, taking students with blended learning experience in S University as the object, the scale was initially tested and formally measured by random sampling. Through factor analysis, reliability and validity analysis, a stable scale of students' learning engagement in blended learning contexts was finally formed. The scale is composed of four first level indicators including behavioral engagement, cognitive engagement, emotional engagement and social interaction engagement, and 11 second level indicators. It has good reliability and validity, and can be used as a measuring tool for students' learning engagement in open blended learning contexts.
