Supplementary data for study: Understanding the Relation Between Study Behaviors and Educational Design (Study 4 and 5)

Important learning happens outside organized lectures and labs, but much of the interaction between these educational design constructs and the study behavior of computing students is unknown. This data is part of a PhD project and relates to Studies 4 and 5. In these studies we follow a group of computing students through their year semester in order to explore these dependencies. Through weekly reports, students tracked their study behaviors. An exploratory cluster analysis was performed, mapping the students' organization, independent study, planning and priorities, time engagement, and use of different study environments. By comparing these aspects of student behavior to design parameters at both the program and course levels we get a holistic understanding of the student-driven learning environment. The results of this analysis confirm that there are close relationships between the educational design and when, where, and how students study.

在组织化的讲座与实验室之外，重要的学习过程亦在悄然发生，然而，这些教育设计构建与计算机专业学生的学习行为之间的互动机制，却鲜为人知。本数据集为博士研究项目的一部分，与第四、第五项研究密切相关。在这两项研究中，我们追踪了一群计算机专业学生在整个学年学期的学习过程，以探究这些依赖关系。学生通过每周的报告记录了他们的学习行为。通过进行探索性的聚类分析，我们映射了学生的组织结构、独立学习、规划与优先级设定、时间投入以及不同学习环境的使用情况。将学生的这些行为特征与课程及项目层面的设计参数进行比较，我们得以对由学生驱动的学习环境获得全面的理解。该分析的结果证实，教育设计与学生何时、何地以及如何学习之间存在紧密的联系。
