It Takes Two: Momentary Co-occurrence of Affective States during Computerized Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigated the incidence of momentary co-occurrence of affective states in a computerized learning environment. Novice students (N = 99) used a learning environment designed to teach the basics of computer programming. Only 46 of these students reported a sufficient number of cooccurring affective states for statistical modeling. Two co-occurring pairs of affective states occurred at rates higher than chance: Confusion/Uncertainty + Frustration and Curiosity + Flow/Engagement. We found that the co-occurrence of Curiosity + Flow/Engagement was related to success and fewer errors when testing code as well as the use of available hints and overall performance.

Several interventions aiming to enhance physical activity in everyday life showed mixed effects. Affective constructs are thought to potentially support health behavior change. However, little is known about within-subject associations between momentary affect and subsequent physical activity in everyday life. This study analyzed the extent to which three dimensions of affective states (valence...

Although, many have theorized about the link between cognition and affect and its potential importance in complex tasks such as problem solving and deep learning, this link has seldom been explicitly investigated during tutoring. Consequently, this paper investigates the relationship between learners’ cognitive and affective states during 50 tutoring sessions with expert human tutors. Associati...
