Within-student variability in learning experiences, and teachers’ perceptions of students’ task-focus

2016

In order to advance models of educational processes (intraindividual, intensive longitudinal), we propose a model in which we specify state and trait constructs, and an intraindividual variability construct. In our ecological momentary assessment study, we investigated how trait-level and intraindividual variability of students’ learning experiences (intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, task difficulty, effort exertion, help-seeking and competence evaluations) converged with teacher-reported student task-focus. 285 primary school students’ (Years 5 and 6) completed the Learning Experience Questionnaire using handheld computers, on average 13.6 learning episodes during one week (SD = 4.6; Ran…

We’ve read books, taken notes and been taught from a blackboard sinceyouth, and has for most of us worked out just fine, but we are all different. We havethose visual learners, those who learn through seeing things, auditory learners, thosewho learn best through hearing and kinesthetic learners, those who learn by doing.Augmented reality can provide many unique affordances that can deliver a learningexperience that can benefit all learning types. Augmented reality can utilize both vi-suals, sound, and interactivi…

¿Influye la Retroalimentación Correctiva en el Uso de la Retroalimentación Elaborada en un Entorno Digital?

2019

Los entornos digitales permiten proporcionar retroalimentación correctiva de verificación de respuestas (KR: correcto/incorrecto) o de respuesta correcta (KCR: la respuesta correcta es X), junto con retroalimentación elaborada (EF: explicaciones). Es frecuente asumir que los estudiantes procesan la EF, aunque investigaciones recientes demuestran que eso no siempre es así, debido probablemente a la retroalimentación correctiva proporcionada junto con la EF. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la decisión voluntaria de acceder a EF en función de la retroalimentación KR y KCR recibida inmediatamente tras responder preguntas de un texto de ciencias. Estudiantes de secundaria recibieron retr…
