In the current study, using self-determination theory as a theoretical framework, we used multiple real-time assessments to investigate the dichotomous relationship between autonomy need satisfaction and frustration, and how these constituents underpin student functioning among higher education students during a learning activity. In total, 124…

The study examines the motivating factors driving mobile information systems use (MISU) for mobile learning. The primary objectives include comparing attitudes of students and faculty towards the influence of perceived usefulness (PU), perceived playfulness (PP), and perceived enjoyment (PE) on MISU. Additionally, the influence of personal…

Learning Management Systems (LMS) are crucial in modern educational technology, enhancing education through personalized support, efficient resource management, and data-driven decision-making. LMS holds a pivotal position in contemporary higher education. This research explores undergraduate students' continued learning intentions, grounded in…

This study aimed to explore the relationships between Finnish early childhood pre-service teachers' (N = 274; aged 20-49; 92% female) self-reported physical activity (PA) and perceptions of their own enjoyment of schooltime physical education (PE), self-evaluation of the content of their current PE studies, perceived importance of PE, and…

GenAI has revolutionized higher education across the globe. One group that is particularly impacted is international students. We examined the factors influencing international students' intentions to use GenAI. We recruited participants studying in the U.S. through an online survey. Our results suggest that attitudes toward GenAI use, PEU, PU,…

While there are several scales that measure students' mathematical attitudes, few are focused on measuring students' attitudes towards geometry. Some of the scales present in literature measure different dimensions of students' attitudes towards geometry, such as their enjoyment of the subject, motivation to learn it, and perception of the…

In asynchronous online video-based learning, learners experience various affective states, which may make them disengaged and negatively influence learning outcomes. This study aimed to examine the effect of the utility value (UV) intervention to help learners emotionally and behaviorally engage in online learning. The UV intervention includes…

Affect has been identified as one of the important inputs in illuminating the mechanism of cognitive activities in mathematical problem solving (MPS). This study aimed to assess upper primary students' MPS-related affect with a focus on its differences across gender and grade-level among upper primary students. To do so, a simple Likert type scale…

To present the significant findings of the paper of Alova (2019), this study shows that Value of Mathematics, which is one of the factors of the attitudes toward Mathematics as taken from the Attitudes Toward Mathematics Inventory (ATMI), an instrument developed by Tapia and Marsh (2004), is one salient factor in the students' attitude and…

There are two difficulties associated with many previous evaluations of students' attitudes toward technology. First, most questionnaires focus on social and family environments, neglecting the schooling environment. Second, although some studies have considered the schooling environment, there has been no systematic review of these studies. To…

Purpose: This study utilized the control-value theory of achievement emotions to investigate relationships between retroactive physical education (PE) beliefs and emotions with adulthood physical activity (PA) attitudes and behaviors. Method: An exploratory structural equation model was employed to evaluate participants' (N = 381) PE emotions,…

The purpose of this explanatory mixed methods study was to understand how 9th grade honors and general education language arts students made course enrollment decisions through the lens of the Expectancy-Value (E-V) theory. A survey was administered to 9th grade students (N = 118) attending a public high school with the overall mean score…

When mathematics educators work towards making mathematics more relevant, they often think about including more real-world applications into mathematics lessons. But what happens when a lesson is devoid of real-world contexts? In what ways can students find it relevant? This study explores how high school students perceived relevance when they…

Aim/Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to identify the factors affecting the continuance use intention of gamified m-learning applications by Higher Education Institution (HEI) learners in Malaysia. Background: Mobile learning (m-learning) has been a popular choice among learners in HEIs due to its convenient 'on-the-go' concept. On the…

The purpose was to examine the relationship between cognitive appraisals of control and value, learning-related achievement emotions, and academic achievement among Iranian EFL university students. Participants included 440 senior EFL students of different ages (22-35) from 15 universities in Iran. They completed the Motivated Strategies for…
