Enhancing competence and autonomy in computer-based instruction using a skill-challenge balancing strategy
The present study aims to show if a skill-challenge balancing (SCB) instruction strategy can assist learners to motivation-ally engage in computer-based learning. Csikszentmihalyi's flow theory (self-control, curiosity, focus of attention, and intrinsic interest) was applied to an account of th...

| description | The present study aims to show if a skill-challenge balancing (SCB) instruction strategy can assist learners to motivation-ally engage in computer-based learning. Csikszentmihalyi's flow theory (self-control, curiosity, focus of attention, and intrinsic interest) was applied to an account of the optimal learning experience in SCB-based learning activities. Two empirical studies were carried out, where a group of learners were taught “Computer Networks” as part of a statutory curriculum at a tertiary institution. The empirical results suggested that a degree of self-control to compensate for the fully automatic SCB instruction strategy (i.e., competence and autonomy) would be of a greater value for learning motivation enhancement in adaptive computer-based learning systems. |
