Subclaims¶

q3 i2 Enjoyment at T1 predicted engagement at T6 (β = .26), but boredom at T1 did not predict later engagement (p = .45), and emotions at T1 were unrelated to later raw performance (ps > .22). → Chevalère 2023

Evidence¶

Chevalère 2023¶

Chevalère, J., Yun, H. S., Henke, A., Pinkwart, N., Hafner, V., & Lazarides, R. (2023). A sequence of learning processes in an intelligent tutoring system from topic-related appraisals to learning gains. Learning and Instruction, 87, 101799. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.learninstruc.2023.101799

q3 · i2 · associational · r2

Forward path model on first-session data (T1 to T6, N = 140), assuming temporal precedence of emotions; it fit well (CFI = .992) and reproduced the sequence interest → enjoyment T1 → engagement T6 → final performance → learning gains.

"Students’ initial enjoyment (T1) predicted their later engagement after sixty minutes (T6), β = .26, SE = .09, t = 2.92, p = .003 [.08; .42], but t he initial boredom (T1) did not predict later engagement (T6), p = .45"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Achievement Emotions — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
• Interest — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
