A
Chinese high school students have the most positive attitude towards online learning compared with those in the United States, Japan and the Republic of Korea (ROK), according to a report released by China Youth Daily.
The study, conducted by researchers at China Youth and Children Research Center, including their counterparts in the other three countries, covered 3,903 Chinese high school students, 1,521 US high school students, 2,204 Japanese high school students and 1,618 high school students of the ROK.
The report showed that most of the surveyed students in the four countries embrace online learning.
“Online learning is important” is perceived by 87.1 percent of Chinese students, and “onlearning is interesting” is supported by 91.2 percent of Chinese students, both a little higher than that in any of the other three countries.
More than 94 percent of Chinese high school students believe that online learning can expand their scope of knowledge, while 86.8 percent believe that they can learn from firstclass teachers via the Internet, according to the report.
Though online learning can push the boundaries of time and space, the report said the students were easily distracted, adding that students in the four countries expressed similar concern such as poor vision, reliance on the Internet and less effort in problemsolving on their own.
