Abstract

To explore the status quo of learning engagement and learning burnout, the mechanism of learning engagement on learning burnout, and the mechanism of academic Self-efficacy. Methods:A total of 309 college students were randomly selected as research samples. The samples were investigated by using the College Students' learning engagement Scale, learning burnout scale and academic Self-efficacy questionnaire, and the results were analyzed by using SPSS26.0 and macro program Process. (1) there were significant differences in academic engagement between male and female, urban and rural, class position and political status, and there were significant differences in learning burnout between urban and rural and political status. (2) Learning engagement and academic Self-efficacy had negative predictive effects on learning burnout. (3) Academic Self-efficacy plays a partially mediating role in the relationship between learning engagement and learning burnout. This study introduces academic Self-efficacy into the influence of learning input on learning burnout, constructs a mechanism model of the influence of learning input on learning burnout, and carries out empirical tests on this model, which is the improvement and expansion of related research fields.
