Abstract

Die Studie untersucht die Verhaltensweisen von Online-Lernenden bei der Suche nach Hilfe und konzentriert sich dabei auf die Quellen, die sie priorisieren, und die Faktoren, die ihre Entscheidungen beeinflussen. Durch den Einsatz der Q-Methodik erfasst die Forschung die unterschiedlichen Perspektiven der Studenten und zeigt deutliche Muster in ihren Strategien zur Suche nach Hilfe auf. Der Artikel beleuchtet die einzigartigen Herausforderungen und Chancen von Online-Lernumgebungen und betont die Bedeutung wirksamer Strategien zur Hilfeleistung für den akademischen Erfolg. Der Einsatz der Q-Methodik hebt diese Studie von anderen ab und bietet eine umfassende und subjektive Analyse der Erfahrungen von Online-Lernenden.
