1. The Technology The web-based technology The web-based technology –facilitates the creation of learner- centered active learning environments that promote higher order thinking Web-based learning systems Web-based learning systems –must engage the learners –support cognitive processing leading to knowledge construction In this study, a web-based system was used to facilitate problem solving. In this study, a web-based system was used to facilitate problem solving.

2. Perspectives Active learning relies on learners ’ self- regulatory skills. Active learning relies on learners ’ self- regulatory skills. Active learning can be facilitated Active learning can be facilitated –if factors of self-regulation can be considered in the instructional design phase and implemented in the learning process. Self-regulation consists of 3 sub-processes: self-monitoring, self-evaluation, and Self-regulation consists of 3 sub-processes: self-monitoring, self-evaluation, and self-reaction. self-reaction.

Self-monitoring is a critical element of self- reflective practice, and self-reflective practice allows learners to monitor, evaluate, and adjust their performance during learning. Self-monitoring is a critical element of self- reflective practice, and self-reflective practice allows learners to monitor, evaluate, and adjust their performance during learning. Teachers must provide students with training in self-monitoring and opportunities for its use. Teachers must provide students with training in self-monitoring and opportunities for its use. Learning environment should be designed to provide information about progress. This is especially helpful when progress otherwise is difficult to ascertain.

5. Purposes of this Study Examining the effect of motivated learning support on web-based problem-solving Examining the effect of motivated learning support on web-based problem-solving Exploring learners ’ interactions during problem-solving (Comprehension, Planning, Execution, & Evaluation). Exploring learners ’ interactions during problem-solving (Comprehension, Planning, Execution, & Evaluation).

6. Research Design Motivated learning implemented Motivated learning implemented –Attributional feedback + High- Problem-solving support –Performance feedback + Low- Problem-solving support Independent variables: Independent variables: –Type of support (Attributional Vs. Performance) –Prior knowledge (High vs. Low in programming) Dependent variables: Dependent variables: –Progressive performance –Time on tasks –Project performance

8. Summary and Conclusions Group Performance Group Performance –Attributional support enhanced progressive performance during problem- solving process –Performance support enhanced the final project performance 1. In accordance with previous studies 2. Whether engaged the learner in the learning tasks lessened the attributional group ’ s final project performance ?
18
Cont. 1 Progressive Performance - by Individual Progressive Performance - by Individual –Attributional support engaged the learner in the problem-solving process and resulted in higher progressive performance & time on tasks –High prior knowledge also enhanced progressive performance, but not time on tasks Progressive Performance - by Stage Progressive Performance - by Stage –Attributional Support Only enhanced Comprehension & Planning –Prior Knowledge: Enhanced Comprehension, Execution, & Evaluation. Q2: Yes 3. Whether enhancing Execution and Evaluation will result in better final project performance?
19
Cont. 2 On-line self-monitoring behaviors On-line self-monitoring behaviors –Attributional support enhanced problem comprehension –Prior knowledge no significant effect 4. Better CMC tools for documenting self- monitoring behaviors is suggested.

Cont. 3 On-line self-reaction behaviors On-line self-reaction behaviors –Attributional support enhanced problem comprehension, planning, execution, and evaluation. –Prior knowledge enhanced problem comprehension, planning, execution, and evaluation. 5. Attributional support and high prior knowledge enhanced on-line self-reaction behavior. 6. Attributional support and high prior knowledge seem to contribute to better progressive performance.
