Interactive and adaptive scaffolds implemented in electronic mathematics textbooks bear high potential for supporting students individually in learning mathematics. In this paper, we argue that emotional and behavioral engagement may account for the effectiveness of such digital curriculum resources. Following the general model for determinants and course of motivated action, we investigated the relationship between students’ domain-specific motivational and emotional orientations (person)—while working with an electronic textbook on fractions (situation), their emotional and behavioral engagement while learning (action), and their achievement after tuition (outcome). We conducted a case-study with N = 27 students from one sixth-grade classroom, asking about the relationship between students’ motivational and emotional orientations and their emotional and behavioral engagement, and whether emotional and behavioral engagement are unique predictors of students’ cognitive learning outcomes while working with an e-textbook. For that, we designed a four-week-intervention on fractions using an e-textbook on iPads. Utilizing self-reports and process data referring to students’ interactions with the e-textbook we aimed to describe if and how students make use of the offered learning opportunities. Despite being taught in the same classroom, results indicated large variance in students’ motivational and emotional orientations before the intervention, as well as in their emotional and behavioral engagement during the intervention. We found substantial correlations between motivational and emotional orientations (i.e., anxiety, self-concept, and enjoyment) and emotional engagement (i.e., intrinsic motivation, competence and autonomy support, situational interest, and perceived demand)—with positive orientations being associated with positive emotional engagement, as expected. Although the correlations between orientations and behavioral engagement (i.e., task, exercise, and hint count, problem solving time, and feedback time) also showed the expected directions, effect sizes were smaller than for emotional engagement. Generalized linear mixed models revealed that emotional engagement predicted cognitive learning outcomes uniquely, while for behavioral engagement the interaction with prior knowledge was a significant predictor. Taken together, they accounted for a variance change of 44% in addition to prior knowledge. We conclude that when designing digital learning environments, promoting engagement—in particular in students who share less-promizing prerequisites—should be considered a key feature.

This condition can be seen in the cognitive learning outcomes of students who are still in the sufficient category. The purpose of this study was to anlyze the effect of scientific article review strategies on metacognition awareness and student learning outcomes and the relationship between the two variables. The sample was students taking the Endocrinology course with a one-shot case study research design. The results of the study showed an increase in student cognitive learning outcomes, 25.9% very good category, 51.9% good category and 22.2% sufficient category. Metacognition awareness was 79.8% with the good category where the highest score was on conditional knowledge. The result of the Annova multivariant statistical test is that learning using scientific article reviews has an effect on metacognition awareness and cognitive learning outcomes of students. The results of the correlation test showed that there was a positive relationship between metacognition awareness and cognitive learning outcomes with a correlation value of 0.886. The results of the study as a whole are there is an increase in student cognitive learning outcomes and metacognition awareness, there is a significant effect of learning using scientific article reviews on metacognition awareness and cognitive learning outcomes and there is a positive correlation between the two variables. Metacognition emphasizes monitoring and self-responsibility of students, so that students can organize themselves to plan, monitor and evaluate their learning goals so that they can improve their cognitive learning outcomes.Keyword: �Cognitive learning outcomes, Metacognition awareness, Scientific article reviews

In this chapter, the authors review how iPads were used in a middle grade math classroom of a technology magnet school. The school has received two mobile iPad carts in addition to the three they have. Ms. Martin, a science teacher at this middle school, has received one of the mobile iPad carts due to her interest in technology integration. Ms. Martin is considered to be an early adopter of technology at her school, and she has been using iPads for more than a year in her sixth grade classroom. Ms. Bennett, who recently received 25 iPads, paid a visit to Ms. Martin’s classroom to learn how to integrate iPads in her science classroom. This case study describes Ms. Bennett’s visit to Ms. Martin’s classroom on the day when the students were studying how to solve inequalities by using addition and subtraction. Ms. Bennett’s goal for the visit was to identify the different ways Ms. Martin was using iPads with her students, and monitor the comfort level of her students with the iPads. She documents what she learns from the visit, and discusses it with Ms. Martin; she also meets with Mr. Pallapu, the technology facilitator at school. Ms. Martin shares some tips and techniques that she can use in her classroom, and also some benefits and challenges of using the iPad. Mr. Pallapu provides her with a list of recommended apps and instructional strategies for using iPads in the classroom.

Guided by the Model of Domain Learning (MDL), the study was designed to explore the extent of interrelations among prior knowledge, learning strategies, interests, physical engagement, and learning outcomes in a sixth-grade (N = 91) volleyball unit. Pearson product-moment correlations and a path analysis were conducted for the research purpose. The results showed that students’ prior knowledge, learning strategies, and interests were interrelated. Physical engagement and learning outcomes were directly influenced by the interactions among prior knowledge, interests, and learning strategies. The findings in the study support that learning in physical education is domain-specific and a progressive process that encompasses both cognitive and affective components.

Studies suggest that serious games are useful tools for disaster preparedness training, but few have examined if instructional factors differentially affect the learning outcomes. This study investigated the effects of players' gaming frequency, prior knowledge, and in-game guidance received on their declarative and procedural knowledge in a disaster preparedness serious game. Findings showed that gaming frequency was not a significant predictor for learning outcomes. By contrast, players' prior knowledge, the types of in-game guidance received, and the interaction between the two were all significant predictors for the acquisition of declarative knowledge and development of procedural knowledge. The interaction term revealed a moderator effect, indicating that the relationship between a player's prior knowledge and learning outcomes was affected by the type of in-game (full or partial) guidance received.

Background Across computer-based and traditional classroom settings, recent studies have identified motivational orientation, prior knowledge, self-regulation, and cognitive load as possible factors that affect help-seeking behaviors and their impact on learning. However, the question of whether there is an optimal point for determining when a student needs help has not been fully explored. Purpose of Study Using data from two modules of the Genetics Cognitive Tutor, the present study investigates this question by examining whether the relationship of help avoidance (failing to seek help when it is needed) and student learning is dependent on the student's level of prior knowledge. We also investigate how the relationship between help avoidance and student learning is mediated by the amount of prior practice, or the number of attempts at a problem step. Research Design We obtained existing data from the use of the Genetics Cognitive Tutor. We conducted a series of correlational analyses to better understand the relationship between help avoidance and student learning. We correlated students’ proportions of help avoidance at different levels of knowledge with measures of robust learning. We also analyzed the relationship between students’ proportions of help avoidance and measures of robust learning, taking the amount of practice or the number of attempts at a problem step into account. Results Our findings suggest that, except at very high or very low knowledge, help avoidance is generally stably (negatively) related to robust learning outcomes. Our results also indicate that help avoidance is more strongly associated with learning outcomes early in the practice sequence, suggesting that students should be encouraged to seek help on problem-solving skills on the first problem, rather than waiting until later problems. Similarly, our results reveal that help avoidance is more negatively associated with learning outcomes on early attempts at a problem step than on later attempts, indicating that students should be encouraged to seek help on the first attempt if help is needed. Conclusions These findings represent a step toward understanding when students should seek help, with the potential of improving the design of metacognitive support within adaptive learning systems.

Digital reading environments are redefining the relationship between reader, text, activity, and sociocultural context. This chapter explores the nature of engagement, collaboration, and reader/writer response, as sixth-grade students from Ireland and the United States read and responded to electronic books within the context of an online global literature circle. In response to the readings, students composed digital thinkmarks, which served as springboards for subsequent written asynchronous message board discussions. Findings from this qualitative case study suggest that peer collaboration in an online literature discussion forum enabled the construction of social identity, community building, and a sociocultural situated response and engendered immersion in, involvement with, and interpretation of texts.
