Regulating self, others’ and group motivation in online collaboration

Bakhtiar, Aishah 10 December 2019 (has links)
Collaboration is a sought-after competency in the 21st-century knowledge economy in which the value of collective ideas and innovations are emphasized. Educational institutions have a role to play in preparing graduates to work well in collaborative teams. However, collaborating with peers is often received with mixed feelings. Students raise concerns about group members’ motivation and engagement, in anticipation of unsatisfactory social and learning outcomes. Facing motivation challenges in collaboration is a common occurrence, but limited research examines how students working in groups manage motivation challenges in that context. The purpose of this multi-paper dissertation was to examine undergraduate students’ regulatory responses to motivation challenges during online collaborations. Three empirical studies comprising this dissertation examined: the interrelated process involved in groups’ regulation of the socio-emotional aspect of collaboration (Bakhtiar, Webster, & Hadwin), the tactics and strategies students enacted in response to salient motivation challenges (Bakhtiar, Hadwin, & Järvenoja, 2019), and the dynamic interplay between individual- and group-level regulation during motivationally challenging situations (Bakhtiar & Hadwin, 2019). The first study was a comparative case analysis between two groups with contrasting socio-emotional climates. Groups’ self-report and observational data (collected before, during, and after a 90-minute collaboration) were examined in relation to the COPES-model of regulation to identify the similarities and differences between groups’ prevailing conditions, operations, products, evaluations, and standards in regulation. In Study 2, group members’ perceptions of motivation challenges that emerged during planning, early, and towards the end of a semester-long collaborative project were explored. Students’ open descriptions of strategies adopted in response to their salient motivation challenges were qualitatively coded. Study 3 was another comparative case analysis between two groups, who experienced high levels of motivation challenges during collaboration but achieved contrasting group perceptions of team learning productivity. The groups’ use of self-, co-, and socially shared-regulation of motivation in three collaborative sessions were examined and contextualized using group members’ self-reports and log data. Findings across the three studies were discussed in terms of their contributions to the COPES scripts of regulating motivation in collaboration, to develop a catalogue of individual and social strategies for regulating motivation, and to identify adaptive forms of motivation regulation in collaboration. Overall, groups that experienced a more positive outcome regarding motivation regulation had group members who (a) were more prepared going into the task, (b) engaged in proactive forms of regulation, (c) more metacognitively attuned to individuals’ and groups’ diverse needs and challenges, (d) used diverse types of strategies, and (e) regulated each other in a positive and encouraging way. Future directions are discussed in terms of examining the metacognitive information students base on when regulating motivation individually, for others, and as a team, as well as designing tools and instructions to support motivation in collaboration. / Graduate

Biais d'auto-évaluation de compétence en français et en mathématiques chez les élèves de primaire : évolution et implications pour l'adaptation et la réussite scolaire des élèves? / Language art and mathematics self-evaluation biases : evolution and impact on school performance and adaptation

Jamain, Ludivine 08 February 2019 (has links)
La vision illusoire de soi positive (surestimation de soi) semble inhérente à la cognition humaine et fluctue dans son intensité en fonction de l’âge et du degré d’abstraction du concept évalué. Dans cette thèse, nous nous intéressons aux illusions positives, mais aussi négatives, des perceptions que les enfants âgés de 8 à 11 ans ont vis-à-vis de leur compétence scolaire. Ces illusions sont mesurées à partir de l’écart entre les performances scolaires effectives des élèves d’une part et la perception qu’ils ont de leur compétence scolaire d’autre part. Le biais d’auto-évaluation de compétence scolaire, locution utilisée pour faire référence à cet écart positif ou négatif, a été étudié jusqu’alors en considérant les habiletés générales des élèves à l’école (voir Bouffard, Pansu & Boissicat, 2013). Dans cette thèse, le biais est abordé au niveau de matières spécifiques : le français et les mathématiques. L’objectif général est d’appréhender les liens entre les auto-évaluations biaisées de compétence, l’adaptation et la réussite scolaire des élèves dans ces deux disciplines. A un niveau individuel, un suivi longitudinal d’élèves de primaire (N = 677) sur trois années a permis dans une première étude de définir quatre trajectoires développementales du biais d’auto-évaluation : trois trajectoires assez stables, une positive, une modérée, une négative, ainsi qu’une quatrième évoluant d’un biais très négatif à un biais relativement modéré. Après avoir examiné les liens entre ces trajectoires et un ensemble de mesures liées à l’adaptation scolaire de l’élève, nous avons appréhendé dans une seconde étude l’autorégulation et la performance scolaire des élèves en fonction de leur auto-évaluation biaisée. La mise en lumière des liens entre le biais d’auto-évaluation, l’adaptation et le fonctionnement des élèves a permis de rendre compte du caractère plus ou moins délétère du biais selon qu’il soit positif ou négatif. A un niveau interindividuel, une troisième étude a porté sur le lien entre le biais d’auto-évaluation de compétence des élèves et le jugement de leur enseignant. Enfin, une dernière étude a examiné la capacité des enseignants à repérer les auto-évaluations biaisées chez leurs élèves. Si les enseignants jugent mieux les élèves surestimant leur compétence, les résultats de la dernière étude laissent à penser que ce processus est inconscient. / The illusive positive view of the self (overestimation of the self) seems inherent to human cognition. This illusion fluctuates in its intensity according to the age and degree of abstraction of the concept evaluated. In this thesis, we are interested in the positive or negative illusions of self-perceptions among elementary school student aged from 8 to 11. We put the focus in this thesis on the difference between a student's academic skills, measured by standardized tests, and the student’s self-evaluation of his competence. The self-evaluation bias of school competency refer to this gap studied so far by considering the general abilities of the students (see Bouffard, Pansu & Boissicat, 2013). In this thesis, the bias is approached in specific domains: in French and in mathematics. The overall goal is to understand the links between biased self-assessments of competency, student adjustments and academic achievements in these two disciplines. At an individual level, a three-year longitudinal follow-up study of third elementary grade to fifth grade students (N = 677) allowed to define four developmental trajectories of the self-evaluation bias: three fairly stable trajectories, one positive, one neutral, one negative, and the last trajectory evolving from a very negative bias to a positive one. We examined then the links between these trajectories and scholastic adjustment measures. Considering these results, in a second study we examined the self-regulation and academic performance of students according to their biased self-evaluation. The highlight of links between self-evaluation bias and students’ adjustment were relevant to account for detrimental or beneficial nature of the bias, according to its valence. At an inter-individual level, we were interested in a third study on the link between student self-assessment bias and the judgment of their teacher. At last, in a final study, we assessed the ability of teachers to identify self-biased evaluation in their students. In the case of teachers appraising students who overestimate their competence, the results of the last study conducted on this students two years later suggest that this process is unconscious.

Atrelado a isto, há a necessidade de engajar os aprendizes em atividades de reflexão durante sua formação em conceitos fundamentais da Computação. Sob a ótica da aprendizagem autorregulada, a reflexão, especificamente a autorreflexão, desempenha um papel primordial no processo de aprendizagem, permitindo que os estudantes avaliem o próprio conhecimento na tentativa de identificar as causas dos seus próprios erros e acertos acadêmicos. Os aprendizes podem realizar essas atividades de reflexão e avaliação da aprendizagem individualmente e em colaboração com seus pares. Neste cenário, um modelo colaborativo, intitulado penC, foi concebido para introduzir práticas de autorregulação no contexto do ensino e da aprendizagem do pensamento computacional no ensino médio. O penC foi construído a partir de um estudo exploratório e avaliado por professores, especialistas em áreas contempladas no modelo. Tal avaliação evidenciou fatores que possivelmente contribuem para a autorregulação e a aprendizagem do pensamento computacional, bem como aqueles que requerem melhorias. Ainda, trouxe implicações para o design de uma ferramenta que implementa o penC. A partir de tais resultados, o modelo foi refinado, implementado e avaliado, por meio de um quasi-experimento, durante um curso de desenvolvimento de jogos digitais que introduziu conceitos de lógica de programação em iniciantes na área. Os resultados obtidos com o estudo experimental evidenciam a contribuição da proposta na formação dos estudantes, tendo impacto positivo sobre a autorregulação e a aprendizagem do pensamento computacional repercutindo, ainda, na jogabilidade de games produzidos durante a formação dos participantes em conceitos introdutórios de programação. Adicionalmente, o professor avaliou positivamente a experiência com o uso do modelo proposto e relatou a percepção de resultados positivos sobre a formação de seus estudantes. / There is an increasing need to create learning environments that enable the promotion of computational thinking in basic education, once this ability can promote the skill of solving problems, besides supporting and relating to other sciences. Linked to this, there is the need to engage learners in reflection activities during their education on fundamental concepts of computer science. From the perspective of self-regulated learning, reflection - especially self-reflection - plays an essential role in the learning process, allowing students to assess their own knowledge as an attempt to identify the causes of their own mistakes and academic achievements. Learners can perform such activities of reflection and evaluation of learning individually and in collaboration with their peers. In this scenario, a collaborative model called penC is designed to introduce self-regulation practices in the context of teaching and learning of computational thinking in high school. The penC was built from an exploratory study and evaluated by teachers, experts in areas included in the model. Such evaluation highlighted factors that possibly contribute to the self-regulation and learning of computational thinking as well as those in need of improvement. It also brought consequences for the design of a tool that implements the penC. From these results, the model was refined, implemented and evaluated, through a quasi-experiment, during a course of development of digital games that introduced concepts of programming logic to beginners of this area. The results obtained with the experimental study demonstrate the contribution of the proposal on the education of students, generating positive impact on self-regulation and learning of computational thinking and also repercussions in playability of games produced during the education on introductory concepts of programming. Moreover, the teacher evaluated the experience with the use of the proposed model as positive and reported the perception of positive results on the education process of the students.

In this study, it was assumed that the procedures used by teachers and the selection of literature books are essential elements for the development of the reader. Based on that, this master degree research, entitled "The Continued Formation of Teachers and Literature: strategies of reading and selection of literature book", had as a research problem the following question: the exploration of strategies of reading and selection of literature books, in a teaching training, can assist the participating teachers in their work with reading? The general objective was to verify if there were changes in the teachers' practice of exploration of reading modes, strategies of reading and selection of literature books. The specific objectives were to implement a reading course for teachers, to introduce self-regulation of reading, to discuss the selection of literary works for use in the classroom and to analyze the extent to which the participants applied the knowledge built in the course. The methodology adopted in this qualitative research with principles of action-strategic research, was constituted initially of national and international bibliographical survey. A reading course for teachers was offered to 12 teachers and 4 coordinators of the municipal network of a municipality in the state of S?o Paulo. During the 4 meetings, in a total of 9 hours, independent reading, double reading, close reading and other reading strategies were presented, based on the self-regulation and the studies of Social Cognitive Theory. The instruments used were: field diary, questionnaire, narrative and semi-structured interview. The participants of the research applied the content of the formative course, in the classroom. There was an exchange of experiences about reading and use of literary books in the classroom, which made it possible to think and rethink practices, to hear about the experience of other teachers and to narrate successes and challenges that are part of reading teaching. The data were analyzed by the content analysis and the implications of these analyzes showed that there were changes in the reading practices used by the participants in the classroom, there was an increase in reading comprehension with teaching practices that prioritized the student's role and there were also changes in the participants' conception of children?s literature and their selection. International research shows that self-regulation of reading, using reading strategies under the light of Social Cognitive Theory, is a promising path for the promotion of competent and critical readers. However, studies on self-regulation of reading practically do not exist in our country. / A literatura infantil tem sido objeto de muitas pesquisas na forma??o do leitor e tem gerado interesse em diversas ?reas. Nesse estudo, partiu-se do pressuposto de que os procedimentos utilizados pelos docentes e a sele??o de obras s?o elementos essenciais para a forma??o do leitor. Diante desse contexto, essa pesquisa de mestrado denominada A Forma??o Continuada de Professores e a Literatura: estrat?gias de leitura e sele??o de obra prop?s por problema de pesquisa a seguinte quest?o: a explora??o de estrat?gias de leitura e sele??o de obras, em um curso de forma??o continuada, pode auxiliar os professores participantes em seu trabalho com leitura? O objetivo geral foi verificar se houve mudan?as na pr?tica dos professores sobre a explora??o de modos de leitura, estrat?gias de leitura e sele??o de obras no trabalho com leitura. Os objetivos espec?ficos foram implementar um modelo de forma??o continuada em leitura, apresentar a autorregula??o da leitura, discutir a sele??o das obras liter?rias para uso em sala de aula e analisar em que medida as participantes aplicaram o conhecimento constru?do na forma??o. A metodologia adotada nessa pesquisa qualitativa com princ?pios da pesquisa a??o-estrat?gica constituiu-se, inicialmente, de levantamento bibliogr?fico nacional e internacional. Ministrou-se um curso de forma??o continuada para 12 professoras e 4 coordenadoras da rede municipal de um munic?pio do estado de S?o Paulo. Durante os 4 encontros, no total de 9 horas, apresentaram-se a leitura independente, leitura em dupla, close reading e outras estrat?gias de leitura, a partir dos pressupostos te?ricos da autorregula??o, pautados nos estudos da Teoria Social Cognitiva. Os instrumentos utilizados foram: di?rio de campo, question?rio, narrativa e entrevista semiestruturada. As participantes da pesquisa aplicaram o conte?do dos encontros formativos, em sala de aula. Houve troca de experi?ncias sobre leitura e uso de obras liter?rias durante os encontros, que possibilitaram o pensar e repensar pr?ticas, ouvir sobre a experi?ncia de outros professores e narrar sucessos e desafios que fazem parte da doc?ncia e da leitura. Os dados foram analisados a partir da an?lise de conte?do, e as infer?ncias decorrentes dessas an?lises mostraram que houve mudan?as quanto ?s pr?ticas de leitura usadas pelas participantes em sala de aula, houve aumento da compreens?o leitora com pr?ticas docentes que priorizam o protagonismo do aluno e houve, tamb?m, mudan?as na concep??o das participantes sobre as obras liter?rias e sua sele??o. Pesquisas internacionais demonstram que a autorregula??o da leitura, por meio do uso de estrat?gias de leitura sob a luz da teoria sociocognitiva, ? um caminho promissor para a promo??o de leitores competentes e cr?ticos. Todavia, estudos sobre a autorregula??o da leitura praticamente inexistem em nosso pa?s.

The use of quality formative assessment to improve student learning in West Ethiopian universities

Fisseha Mikre Weldmeskel 11 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to examine the ways by which student learning improvement and the self-regulation of learning are possible through the use of quality formative assessment in the teaching of a university course. In recent years, researchers in educational assessment are showing an increased interest to the improvement of learning resulting from the use of formative assessment. Formative assessment is generally recognised as an improvement oriented assessment. It is believed to result in instructional effectiveness. Quality formative assessment includes formative feedback, self-assessment and peer assessment. Previous studies show the contribution of each of these quality formative assessments to learning improvement. However, less attention has been given to studying the combined effect of quality formative assessments on learning improvement. On the other hand, the predominant use of summative assessment remains a challenge to the improvement in instruction. Thus, the question was to determine the extent to which the use of quality formative assessment improves learning. The literature review in this study show an over reliance upon summative assessment in the context of higher education classrooms. There is also recognition in that formative assessment improves learning and enhances self-regulation. This study followed a mixed-methods research design of the type partially mixed sequential and applied a quasi-experimental intervention, where the educators used quality formative assessment on lessons with the students in the intervention group. The quasiexperimentation was implemented with 378 (214 male and 164 female) first year students of three universities enrolled for “General Psychology” course and six educators who were teaching the course. The students in this study were taken from intact classes, because this is possible in quasi experimental research. Data for the quantitative part of the study were generated using a structured questionnaire and achievement tests. Interviews with the educators, focus group discussions with the students, and classroom observations were used to generate data for the qualitative phase of study. The pretestposttest scores as well as the students’ perceptions on self-regulating learning were compared between the intervention (N =191) and the comparison (N = 187) groups. The quantitative analysis used different inferential statistics, which proved the presence of statistically significant variations between the intervention and comparison groups for the outcome measures (posttest achievement and perception about self-regulating learning). Although the qualitative study showed the presence of positive perceptions towards quality formative assessment, the practice was found to be inconsistent. Perhaps, this may be because of the predominantly summative assessment tradition and the reluctance to use quality formative assessment. Finally, recommendations were made to promote the use of quality formative assessment aiming at the improvement and the self-regulation on learning. / Curriculum and Instructional Studies / D. Ed.

Autorregulación académica y Optimismo en estudiantes universitarios de beca 18 - modalidad ordinaria / Academic self-regulation and optimism in scholarship 18 university students - ordinary modality

Jimenez Solano , Winker, Martos Vigo, Guisela Lizbeth 26 November 2021 (has links)
El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo relacionar la autorregulación académica y optimismo en estudiantes del Programa Beca 18 - modalidad ordinaria. Participaron 209 universitarios de 18 a 25 años (M = 21.70, DE =1.79), el 50.2 % son mujeres, 90.4% de provincia y el resto de Lima. Se aplicaron el Cuestionario de Autorregulación del Aprendizaje adaptado en Perú por Matos (2009) y la Escala de Optimismo Atributivo validado por Caycho, Ventura – León y Castilla – Cabello (2017). Los resultados muestran que la dimensión autonomía se correlaciona positiva y significativamente con optimismo, con una magnitud baja (rs = .309; p < .001). Por el contrario, se encontró que no existe una relación significativa entre control y optimismo, con un tamaño de asociación muy bajo (rs = -.033; p = .632). En cuanto al análisis comparativo según el sexo, no se encontraron diferencias significativas en ninguna de las dimensiones y, con relación al lugar de procedencia, se encontró que existen diferencias significativas en control y optimismo, siendo los de provincia quienes tienen grandes diferencias en el puntaje de control y los de Lima presentan moderada diferencia en optimismo. Se concluye que los becarios con un alto grado de aprendizaje autónomo presentan mayores niveles de optimismo. / The present study aimed to relate academic self-regulation and optimism in students of the Beca 18 Program - ordinary modality. 209 university students between the ages of 18 and 25 participated (M = 21.70, SD = 1.79), 50.2% are women, 90.4% from the province and the rest from Lima. The Self-Regulation of Learning Questionnaire adapted in Peru by Matos (2009) and the Attributive Optimism Scale validated by Caycho, Ventura - León and Castilla - Cabello (2017) were applied. The results show that the autonomy dimension is positively and significantly correlated with optimism, with a low magnitude (rs = .309; p <.001). On the contrary, it was found that there is no significant relationship between control and optimism, with a very low association size (rs = -.033; p = .632). Regarding the comparative analysis according to sex, no significant differences were found in any of the dimensions and, in relation to the place of origin, it was found that there are significant differences in control and optimism, being those of the province who have great differences in the score of control and those of Lima present moderate difference in optimism. It is concluded that scholarship recipients with a high degree of autonomous learning present higher levels of optimism. / Tesis
