This study found that spending 240-299 seconds on slide pages positively impacts annotation and learning performance in ubiquitous learning. Self-efficacy and test anxiety influence reading behaviors differently for high and low performers.
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Learning Sciences
- Human-Computer Interaction
Background:
- Ubiquitous learning environments offer flexible access to educational resources.
- Understanding the interplay between self-regulated learning (SRL), behavior, and performance is crucial in these environments.
- Learner engagement with digital materials, such as reading and annotating slides, requires investigation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the relationship between self-regulated learning awareness, learning behaviors, and learning performance.
- To analyze how specific learning activities (e.g., reading duration, annotation) correlate with performance outcomes.
- To identify key SRL factors influencing learning behaviors across different performance levels.
Main Methods:
- Collected psychometric data on self-regulated learning and log data on learner interactions (e.g., slide access, annotation).
- Analyzed device access activity within the learning management system.
- Applied path analysis and correlation analysis to data segmented by high and low performers.
Main Results:
- Reading slide pages for 240-299 seconds positively affected annotation and learning performance directly.
- Self-efficacy was indirectly enhanced by other SRL factors.
- Self-efficacy and test anxiety significantly influenced the number of read slide pages differently for high and low performers.
Conclusions:
- Optimizing reading duration within specific ranges can enhance learning outcomes in ubiquitous settings.
- Self-regulated learning awareness and specific behaviors are critical mediators of performance.
- Individual differences in self-efficacy and test anxiety play a significant role in adaptive learning behaviors.

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...
