To promote motivation and interaction among learners for relationship education in online learning, we designed a digital gamified learning activity for relationship education combined with conceptual and reflective scaffolding. We measured the learning achievement of learners' knowledge, motivation, anxiety and flow during the activity. This…

Using a major field test (MFT) is a common method of program assessment. For accurate assessment to take place, however, students must be sufficiently motivated to perform. This paper studies a change in major requirements that associated a major field test to a grade in a political science capstone course. After controlling for possible…

With the continuous development of technological and educational innovation, learners nowadays can obtain a variety of supports from agents such as teachers, peers, education technologies, and recently, generative artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT. In particular, there has been a surge of academic interest in human-AI collaboration and…
