Background

Covid-19, which spread all over the world in 2019, disrupted the normal teaching activities of colleges and universities. All teachers and students have not stopped teaching or learning through online courses. Improving the quality of online education is an important issue that can not be ignored in the development of education, especially in the situation of epidemic. SPOC online course quality has attracted more and more educators' attention. Foreign related research is relatively mature. However, China's evaluation methods are still developing, depending on different platforms. The current evaluation lacks relevant specific curriculum evaluation basis. In order to study the view of learners based on learners' psychological experience, it is necessary to establish an online course quality evaluation model based on SPOC. At the same time, the research on the changes of their emotional behavior is also of great significance.

Research Objects and Methods

Firstly, this paper expounds the concept of learners' psychological experience, analyzes the influencing factors of SPOC online course evaluation from the perspective of learners' psychological experience, and discusses learners' views, including course content quality, course support quality, course evaluation quality, course evaluation standard, course evaluation standard, course interaction quality and course effect quality. A total of 18 secondary indicators are selected. Then unify the evaluation index unit, calculate the index weight of each index, analyze its relative contribution, establish the contribution judgment matrix, test the consistency, and calculate the influence weight from the standard layer to the target layer. Finally, from the perspective of learners' psychological experience, this paper constructs the SPOC network curriculum quality evaluation system by using analytic hierarchy process.

Results

Several teachers were invited to fill in the online course comprehensive evaluation questionnaire according to the importance scale. Therefore, we calculate the maximum eigenvalue of the constructed judgment matrix. The established index system can objectively reflect the quality of SPOC online courses from four aspects: course content quality, course support quality, course interaction quality and course effect quality. It provides a reference for learners to choose courses and teachers to improve online courses. For the quality of course content, consistency is the most important and the most important. For the quality of curriculum support, curriculum materials are the most important index, and the coefficient is small. For the quality of course interaction, clear navigation is the most important. In terms of course effect quality, the weight coefficient of self-study effect evaluation is the largest. At the same time, the study investigated learners' emotional behavior. There is a significant correlation between College Students' emotional regulation self-efficacy and mood state. Among them, the dimension of positive emotional self-efficacy was significantly positively correlated with energy and self-esteem, and negatively correlated with fatigue and depression; Regulating positive emotions, self-efficacy has a significant positive correlation with self-esteem, and a significant negative correlation with anger and energy; The self-efficacy of regulating depression or pain was significantly positively correlated with energy and self-esteem, and negatively correlated with the dimensions of tension, anger, fatigue, depression and panic; The self-efficacy of regulating anger or anger has a significant positive correlation with energy and self-esteem, and a significant negative correlation with the dimensions of tension, anger, fatigue, depression and panic.

Conclusion

Through comparative research, interview research and investigation research methods, it is proved that the proposed learning psychological experience index is effective in SPOC online course evaluation system based on analytic hierarchy process. Through questionnaire survey and calculation, the contribution judgment matrix helps to measure the importance of each index. The established index system can provide guidance for the design and development of SPOC online courses, and even serve as the basis for educational management decision-making. It has high universality and can also be applied to many other evaluation systems. In order to improve the objective accuracy of the evaluation results, the indicators in the system can be optimized according to different courses and majors.
