Anja Strobel; Alexander Strobel; Franzis Preckel; Ricarda Steinmayr – AERA Open, 2024
While intelligence and motivational variables are well-established predictors of academic achievement, Need for Cognition (NFC), the stable intrinsic motivation to engage in and enjoy challenging intellectual activity, has not yet been considered comprehensively in this field, especially not longitudinally. By applying latent change score…

Kam, Adele H. T.; Umar, Irfan N. – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Gamification has been reported to increase learning motivation and produce positive learning behaviors or outcomes. As gamification research continues to mature, more studies are investigating factors that may contribute to the varying effectiveness of gamification, as well as factors that may moderate its effects. This study investigated whether…

Markku Niemivirta; Anna Tapola; Heta Tuominen; Jaana Viljaranta – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Background: Although research clearly demonstrates the importance of motivation in mathematics learning, relatively little is known about the developmental dynamics between different facets of mathematics motivation and performance, especially in the early years of schooling. Aims: In a longitudinal setting, we examined (1) how children's ability…

Biaz Dea Nabilla – IAFOR Journal of Education, 2023
Motivation is a foremost aspect in language learning and has been extensively studied in the field of SLA due to its important contribution to pedagogical implications. However, SLA scholars/researchers have overwhelmingly preoccupied specifically with Asian students such as Japanese and/or Chinese (Gong et al, 2020; Kikuchi, 2019). This ignores…

Hui Sun; Kazuya Saito; Jean-Marc Dewaele – Language Learning, 2024
This study longitudinally examined the effects of cognitive and sociopsychological individual differences (aptitude, motivation, personality) and the quantity and quality of second language (L2) experience on L2 speech gains in naturalistic settings. We elicited L2 spontaneous speech from 50 Chinese learners of English at the beginning and the end…

Isabelli-García, Christina; Bown, Jennifer; Plews, John L.; Dewey, Dan P. – Language Teaching, 2018
The aim of this review is to synthesize empirical studies on undergraduate language learners' experience abroad during a time period of a year or less. To help provide a framework to this synthesis, we begin our review by tracing the recent evolution of empirical mixed-method research on the learner, identifying problems and characteristics that…

Wang, Tianyi; Liu, Yongcan – Language Learning Journal, 2020
The motivation to learn a third language (L3) has received increasing attention in research, especially with regard to how it evolves dynamically during the learning process. Underpinned by the L2 Motivational Self System [Dörnyei, Z. 2005. "The Psychology of the Language Learner: Individual Differences in Second Language Acquisition."…

MacIntyre, Peter – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2020
The dynamics underlying willingness to communicate in a second or third language (L2 for short), operating in real time, are affected by a number of intra- and interpersonal processes. L2 communication is a remarkably fluid process, especially considering the wide range of skill levels observed among L2 learners and speakers. Learners often find…

Chambers, Gary N. – Innovation in Language Learning and Teaching, 2019
Points of transition in life are accepted as times which impact greatly on aspects of the individual's psyche, including motivation to learn. In spite of this, pupils' views are rarely heard in discussions of transition from primary to secondary school in general and in relation to modern languages in particular. This exploratory study…

Lin, Yi-Ti – Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 2019
This research investigates the variables influencing willingness to communicate (WTC) in English as a foreign language (EFL) context in Taiwan. A hypothesized EFL WTC model with six layers focusing on factors related to individual differences was proposed and the EFL WTC model was reinterpreted as a serial mediation model. Ten latent variables,…

Thompson, Amy S.; Vásquez, Camilla – Modern Language Journal, 2015
This study analyzes the language learning narratives of 3 NNS foreign language teachers. It uses as a theoretical framework the L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS) (Dörnyei, 2009) but adds the dimension of psychological reactance (Brehm, 1966). Our findings indicate that the L2MSS underestimates the relationship between "I" and…

Nolen, Susan Bobbitt; Horn, Ilana Seidel; Ward, Christopher J. – Educational Psychologist, 2015
This article describes a situative approach to studying motivation to learn in social contexts. We begin by contrasting this perspective to more prevalent psychological approaches to the study of motivation, describing epistemological and methodological differences that have constrained conversation between theoretical groups. We elaborate on…

Karlen, Yves – Journal of Educational Research, 2016
Metacognitive strategy knowledge, motivation, and learning strategies play an important role in self-regulated learning (SRL). However, little is known about different profiles of self-regulated learners in schools that prepare students for the university entrance certificate. The aim of this study was to examine intraindividual differences in the…

Tulis, Maria; Steuer, Gabriele; Dresel, Markus – Frontline Learning Research, 2016
Errors bear the potential to improve knowledge acquisition, provided that learners are able to deal with them in an adaptive and reflexive manner. However, learners experience a host of different--often impeding or maladaptive--emotional and motivational states in the face of academic errors. Research has made few attempts to develop a theory that…

Baadte, Christiane; Schnotz, Wolfgang – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2014
This study tested the assumption that the effectiveness of feedback with regard to performance, motivation, and affect is moderated by the learners' self-concept. A total of 72 sixth-graders completed a web-based interactive learning program. Half of the sample received feedback and the other half received no feedback. Differential feedback…
