Study of learners' interest in blended learning: Explore from perspective of situated cognition

In blended learning, learners' interest is closely related to whether they can successfully finish their studies. In order to study on learners' interest, we adopt situated cognition theory as the theoretical basis, and carried out data mining for learners' online behaviors, as well as the analysis of brain cognitive experiment data. Then brain mechanism for context learning interest and online operation behaviors were proposed in our study. In addition, the learners' interest model based on neural network was established. Experimental results show that this method can effectively represents interest of learners in blended learning.
