Subclaims¶

q3 i2 Task engagement at T1 significantly predicted enjoyment at T6 (β = .29), supporting reciprocal enjoyment-engagement relations. → 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

Reverse path model inverting temporal precedence (learning-related measures at T1 predicting emotions at T6, N = 140); enjoyment at T6 then predicted final performance (β = .26, p < .001), while boredom at T6 did not (p = .53).

"Students’ initial task engagement (T1) significantly predicted their later enjoyment after sixty minutes (T6), β = .29, SE = .09, t = 3.28, p = .001 [.12; .46]."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

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

Related Claims¶

• In the Forward temporal model, initial enjoyment predicted later engagement, while initial boredom did not and emotions were unrelated to later raw performance — related
• Within persons, better-than-usual math grades positively predict subsequent enjoyment and pride, and enjoyment and pride positively predict subsequent grades — related
