Khong, Hou Keat; Kabilan, Muhammad Kamarul – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2022
The notion of "Micro-Learning" (ML) has been repeatedly accented as a successful learning approach in different learning phenomena. Despite these optimistic emphases, several studies lack a theoretical grounding in adoption of ML, thus missing a shared perspective of the education community. The scarce theoretical justification for…

Riley, Gina – Cogent Education, 2016
This article explores the theories of Self-Determination, Cognitive Evaluation, and Intrinsic Motivation as it applies to home education. According to Self-Determination Theory, intrinsic motivation is innate. However, the maintenance and enhancement of intrinsic motivation depends upon the social and environmental conditions surrounding the…

Lee, Eunbae; Hannafin, Michael J. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2016
Student-centered learning (SCL) identifies students as the owners of their learning. While SCL is increasingly discussed in K-12 and higher education, researchers and practitioners lack current and comprehensive framework to design, develop, and implement SCL. We examine the implications of theory and research-based evidence to inform those who…

Plass, Jan L.; Homer, Bruce D.; Kinzer, Charles K. – Educational Psychologist, 2015
In this article we argue that to study or apply games as learning environments, multiple perspectives have to be taken into account. We first define game-based learning and gamification, and then discuss theoretical models that describe learning with games, arguing that playfulness is orthogonal to learning theory. We then review design elements…

Liew, Tze Wei; Tan, Su-Mae – Educational Technology & Society, 2016
The Cognitive-Affective Theory of Learning with Media framework posits that the multimedia learning process is mediated by the learner's mood. Recent studies have shown that positive mood has a facilitating effect on multimedia learning. Though literature has shown that negative mood encourages an individual to engage in a more systematic,…

Li, Na; Hung, Kang-hao; Chang, Chun-hao – Online Submission, 2010
Technology-supported education has become increasingly important and popular. Although it has long been claimed that a technology-enhanced learning environment is often more motivating than its traditional counterpart, not too many inspiring empirical studies have been carried out. In this article, the traditional approach in the motivation…

Fritz, Barbara Smolej; Peklaj, Cirila – International Journal of Music Education, 2011
The aim of our study was determine how students regulate their learning in music theory (MT). The research is based on the socio-cognitive theory of learning. The aim of our study was twofold: first, to design the instruments for measuring (meta)cognitive and affective-motivational processes in learning MT, and, second, to examine the relationship…

Nderu-Boddington, Eulalee – Online Submission, 2008
This paper examines how Piaget, Werner, and Gardner differ regarding the roles of cognition, intelligence, and learning in the developmental process. Piaget believes in the predominance of genetic factors. Werner stresses the influence of biological factors, while Gardner proposes that the environment plays a greater influence in how intelligence…

Moreno, Roxana – Educational Research and Evaluation, 2009
Student teachers learned about teaching principles with the help of an instructional program that included classroom animation exemplars, where expert teachers demonstrate how to apply teaching principles to a classroom scenario. Some students learned by solely observing the classroom animations, whereas others were presented with the expert's…

CAMPBELL, VINCENT N. – 1963
THIS THEORETICAL PAPER COMBINES FAMILIAR PSYCHOLOGICAL VARIABLES IN A NEW SYSTEM DESIGNED MAINLY FOR PARSIMONY. PRINCIPAL CONSTRUCTS ARE REPRESENTATION, (R) A UNIT OF COGNITIVE ACTIVITY, AND M-VALUE, (M) A MOTIVATIONAL OR HEDONIC DIMENSION, OR THE PLEASANTNESS OF THE ACTIVITY OF AN R. A PROBABILITY-DECISION MODEL RELATES R'S AND THEIR AVERAGE…
