Abstract

This study attempted to explore the learner preferences about the web-based learning environment, focusing on the forms of instructional structure, interaction and cognitive process. Reported here is the result of a pilot test of a large-scale investigation (n > 500) which is currently in progress. Subjects of the study were 150 college science students. A 4-point Likert-scale questionnaire was developed by the authors for data collection. The preliminary factor and t-test analyses showed that in the web-based learning environment, college science students seemingly preferred more of the individual, structured and concept-based instructional structure than collaborative, inquiry and issue-based design. For cognitive process, students recognized more of the surface than deep information processing. And, they also favored the simple/personal than complex/interpersonal mode of interaction.
