從複雜理論觀點探討MOOCs創新擴散之動態歷程 / Exploring the Dynamic Diffusion Process of MOOCs From a Complexity Theory Perspective

MOOCs實現了高等教育的跨國性、大量性與開放性,成功將世界各地的學習者、教學者與相關機構帶進全球網絡,為全球知識與傳播提供一個全新的平台。這場由世界頂尖大學所引發的MOOCs風暴,短時間內便席捲全球,在高等教育界掀起一陣波瀾。《紐約時報》甚至將MOOCs形容成一場「校園海嘯」,以迅雷不及掩耳的速度,衝擊高等教育的百年現場。

然而,究竟這場MOOCs風暴是如何一路延燒到世界各地?不同階段的影響因素又有何不同?為了釐清這些問題,本研究利用複雜理論「系統性」與「動態性」的觀點,探討MOOCs創新擴散之動態歷程,分析相關因素如何影響各個階段的歷程演變,以及因素之間互動後所產生的回饋關係。

本研究採用歷史研究法,並參考王美雅(2005)的創新擴散之動態模型,做為研究架構之基礎,探討MOOCs各階段擴散歷程之初始狀態、演化與正向回饋效果以及自我組織的現象。

研究結果發現,MOOCs的擴散事實上是一個自我組織的過程。在MOOCs擴散過程中,以「創新者的網路位置」與「理解創新的難易程度」兩項變數的影響尤其顯著。而各項變數之間不僅擁有正向回饋效果,亦存在著負向回饋效果,進而影響MOOCs的擴散與演化。 / MOOCs successfully brought global students, educators, and related organization into a global network, forming a platform for global diffusion of knowledge. Started by top universities around the globe, MOOCs’ forces have swept around the globe in a short amount of time, creating ripples in the higher education web. The New York Times describes MOOCs as a “Campus Tsunami,” sweeping through the sectors of higher education.

How did this “Campus Tsunami” sweep around the globe? What are the factors that affect its dynamic diffusion process? In order to clarify these questions, this study employs the systematic and dynamic point of view of the complex theory to analyze how the factors influence each of MOOCs diffusion stages and what effects the factors create after interaction.

This study employs the historical study method and Mei Ya, Wang’s (2005) dynamic innovation diffusion model as the fundamental structure to explore the initial conditions, evolution and positive reinforcements, and self-organization of each diffusion stage.

The results demonstrate that MOOCs’ diffusion is based on self-organization. Within the seven factors, innovator networks and the difficulties in understanding innovation are the foremost influential factors. During MOOCs diffusion stages, the different factors interact with each other, producing both positive reinforcements and negative reinforcements, thus influencing MOOCs continuous diffusion and development.
