Abstract:	摘要： Online Q&A discussion forums have recently become important information resources for students and studies have shown that online discussion forums have a positive influence on learning outcomes. However, it remains unclear how the specific characteristics of these forums contribute to this effect. This paper employed a set of evaluative criteria based on the tenets social cognitive theory to classify Q&A discussion forums according to the features they provide and the quality of the user experience. Experiments were conducted to determine how the characteristics of online Q&A discussion forums influence discussion behavior, the quality of discourse, and learning performance. Statistical results reveal that students using more elaborate online Q&A discussion forums are more likely to actively participate in online discussions, engaging at a higher cognitive level, and enjoying superior learning performance when compared to those using forums that are more rudimentary. 其他題名： Asia-Pacific Edu Res 出版者： Singapore: Springer Singapore 出版日期： 2013-11 出處： The Asia-Pacific education researcher, 2013-11, Vol.22 (4), p.667-675 資源來源： Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) 版權： De La Salle University 2013 識別號： ISSN: 0119-5646 識別號： EISSN: 2243-7908 識別號： DOI: 10.1007/s40299-013-0072-2
