本研究分析了学生网络工作习惯与学习成绩的关系。我们在美国一所小型文理学院的两门课程中使用了课程管理系统（CMS）记录的日志数据。这两门课程都需要完成大量的在线作业。我们衡量了学生在线工作习惯的三个方面：及时性、规律性和强度。我们发现，总体GPA高、课程成绩好的学生更早、更有规律地完成作业。我们还发现，即使在控制总体GPA的情况下，上半学期工作习惯的规律性也能预测课程的成绩。但总体而言，CMS数据的边际预测能力相当有限。尽管如此，成绩好的学生与成绩差的学生表现出截然不同的工作习惯，这一事实支持了旨在提高时间管理技能的干预措施。
This study analyzes the relationship between students’ online work habits and academic performance. We utilize data from logs recorded by a course management system (CMS) in two courses at a small liberal arts college in the U.S. Both courses required the completion of a large number of online assignments. We measure three aspects of students’ online work habits: timeliness, regularity, and intensity. We find that students with a high overall GPA and a high grade in the course work on assignments early and more regularly. We also find that the regularity of work habits during the first half of the term predicts grade in the course, even while controlling for the overall GPA. Overall, however, the marginal predictive power of CMS data is rather limited. Still, the fact that high achieving students show vastly different work habits from low achieving students supports interventions aimed at improving time-management skills.
