碩士 / 國立交通大學 / 教育研究所 / 103 / The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of attention monitoring with EEG biofeedback on college students' attention and self-efficacy for learning. This study employed the quasi-experimental design, collecting both the qualitative and quantitative data. The instruments included the EEG sensor to collect learners’ attention levels, the focused attention scale, the selective attention scale, the self-efficacy scale from the MSLQ, the feedback acceptance scale, the anti-phishing achievement test, and an open-ended questionnaire. The participants were 80 college students. We adopted the stage-random grouping to divide the participants into a control group and an experimental group, with 40 participants in each group. The attention monitoring system was developed to monitor anti-phishing learners' attention levels for both the control and the experimental group, and to provide EEG biofeedback for the experimental group when low attention was detected.
The results showed that the use of EEG biofeedback could significantly increase the students’ overall attention, and when learners’ conscious attention was higher, the duration of their attention below the baseline would be shorter. No significant differences were found in learners’ self-efficacy and achievement between the two groups. However, for the learners in the control group, their self-efficacy for learning was significantly improved. This study found that the types (e.g., auditory or visual, positive or negative) of the EEG biofeedback and the selection of the course topics may influence learner’s attention, self-efficacy, and learning achievement. This study suggests that when conducting similar studies, it is important to consider the types of the EEG biofeedback and the selection of the course topics, and integrate the encouragement into the negative feedback in order to increase learning outcome of the attention monitoring with EEG biofeedback.
