Students involve themselves in learning activities multidimensionally, including behaviorally, cognitively, emotionally, and agentically. This multidimensional involvement predicts important outcomes, but it is also possible that each type of engagement might have its own specialized purpose or function. To investigate this possibility, we…

Learners' attempts to regulate their own motivation for studying in the face of tedious or difficult tasks is an important aspect of self-regulated learning. Therefore, motivation regulation has received increasing attention over the past few years, resulting in numerous publications using different definitions of the construct, samples,…

The aim of this study is to investigate how the emotional orientations in peer assessment affect student performance. Given that the emotional data in peer comments exist in the form of unstructured text, this study applied the text sentiment analysis method to the mining and analysis of peer-review texts. For this purpose, emotional orientations…
