<p>This dissertation consists
of three journal articles about using open digital badges to improve learning
performance and facilitate students’ goal setting processes. In the first
study, we investigated the impact of instructional ODBs on pre-service
teachers’ perceived technology capabilities and their actual learning
performance in a large undergraduate technology integration course. A positive
relation between using ODBs and academic learning performance was found in the study. The second study
conceptually argued that the use of ODBs can positively impact learning because
it helps optimize the effects of goal-setting on learning which then indirectly
impacts learning performance. In the third study, we explored college students’
experiences of using ODBs as an innovative approach to facilitate their goal-setting processes in a large undergraduate technology integration
course. We found that ODBs could support college students’ goal-setting
processes by helping students connect different types of goals, improving goal
commitment, controlling task complexity and providing prompt personalized
feedback. </p>
