Abstract
Evidence suggests that learning sentiments are inextricably related to cognitive processing, and the exploration of the relationship remains to be an important research topic. This study collected discourse data from 40 college students in online collaborative learning activities. Epistemic network analysis (ENA) was employed to explore the connection between learning sentiments and cognitive processing and compare the ENA network charac-teristics of the higher-and lower-engagement groups. The results indicated that there was a joint connection between understand-analyze-neutral, and insightful sentiments had more association with neutral sentiments and understanding. Besides, distinctions existed between higher-and lower-engagement groups with respect to the association between learning sentiments and cognitive processing. The higher-engagement group had stronger associations around positive and confused sentiments, while the lower-engagement group had stronger associations around off-topic discussion. The findings of this research may serve as a reference for designing and implementing collaborative learning activities to increase cognitive levels.
