Purposive Learning01:22

Purposive Learning

269
E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

Secondary Motives: Power Motivation and Achievement Motivation

338
Power motivation and achievement motivation are two essential social motives identified by psychologist David McClelland. These motives influence behavior in various personal and professional contexts, shaping how individuals interact with others and pursue their goals.
Power motivation is characterized by the desire to influence, control, or have an impact on others. It is shaped by an individual's experiences, social environment, and cultural context. People with high power motivation are...

Social Foundations of Self I: Play and Game

77
The development of self in children is deeply rooted in social interactions, mainly through stages of play and structured games. These stages, outlined by sociologist George Herbert Mead, illustrate how children progressively learn to understand and adopt social roles, forming a cohesive sense of self.The Play Stage: Imitation and Simple Role-TakingIn the early years of childhood, the play stage is characterized by imitative behavior, where children engage in role-playing based on familiar...

Social Facilitation01:04

Social Facilitation

34.6K
Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Design Example: Designing Water Slide01:18

Design Example: Designing Water Slide

420
When designing a water slide, controlling the speed of water flow is crucial for rider safety while maintaining an exciting experience. As water flows down the slide, gravity causes it to accelerate, with its speed at the bottom depending on the height from which it starts. The higher the slide, the more potential energy the water has at the top, which is converted into kinetic energy as it descends, increasing its speed.
Bernoulli's principle determines the water's velocity along the slide....

Observational Learning01:12

Observational Learning

573
Albert Bandura's observational learning, also known as imitation or modeling, occurs when a person observes and imitates another's behavior. It is a quicker process than operant conditioning. A well-known example is the Bobo doll study, where children who saw an adult acting aggressively towards the doll were more likely to act aggressively when left alone, compared to those who observed a nonaggressive adult. Many psychologists view observational learning as a form of latent learning...

Area of Science:

  • Educational Technology
  • Gamification Design
  • Learning Sciences

Background:

  • Gamification in education boosts motivation, problem-solving, decision-making, and social skills.
  • Leaderboards, a gamification mechanic, aid learners in goal setting and motivation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Develop leaderboard design principles for efficient goal setting.
  • Enhance learning motivation in gamified environments.
  • Promote effective learning through optimized leaderboard application.

Main Methods:

  • Analyzed existing research on educational leaderboards and their social impact.
  • Collected and analyzed data from leaderboards in educational and sports settings.

Main Results:

  • Identified 4 leaderboard design objectives from prior studies.
  • Formulated 3 key leaderboard design principles.
  • Recommended integrating macro and micro leaderboards, incorporating all achievement metrics into micro leaderboards, and considering leaderboards for non-learning contexts.

Conclusions:

  • Addresses challenges in leaderboard design for educational gamification.
  • Suggests incorporating the derived design principles for effective classroom gamification.
