Summary
This study introduces a conceptual modeling approach to understand and enhance student motivation in Learning Analytics. The Hafezni system effectively helps educators perceive and address student motivation, improving success prediction.
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Computer Science
- Psychology
Background:
- Student motivation is crucial for academic success and achieving educational goals.
- Learning Analytics (LA) provides tools to understand student behavior, but effectively addressing motivation remains a challenge.
- Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) offers potential for automating interventions in educational contexts.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a conceptual modeling approach for defining and analyzing student motivation dimensions within LA.
- To create a mechanism for stimulating student engagement and addressing motivation issues.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach and system (Hafezni) in a real-world educational setting.
Main Methods:
- Proposed a Conceptual Modeling Approach to explicitly define student motivation dimensions.
- Developed a guideline for educational stakeholders to monitor changes in student motivation.
- Implemented a stimulation mechanism to address identified motivation issues.
- Utilized the Hafezni system for a global usage scenario with Master's students.
Main Results:
- The approach enabled educational actors to accurately perceive student motivational states.
- The Hafezni mobile app was found useful by both learners and educational stakeholders.
- Student motivation was shown to be a significant factor in predicting academic success/failure, with classification accuracy increasing from 69.23% to 96.13%.
Conclusions:
- The conceptual modeling approach effectively captures and addresses student motivation within Learning Analytics.
- The Hafezni system provides a practical and useful tool for educators to support student engagement.
- Accurate perception of student motivation significantly improves the prediction of academic outcomes.

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...

01:20Motivational Cycle
769
The motivational cycle is a key concept that explains how individuals are motivated to meet their needs. At its core, the cycle revolves around four distinct stages: need, drive, goal-directed behavior, and goal achievement. These stages respond to imbalances in the body or mind, prompting actions that restore balance.
The cycle begins with a need. This need can arise from various conditions, such as hunger, thirst, or temperature changes. For instance, when an individual feels cold, their body...

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.

01:27Drive-Reduction Theory: Push Theory of Motivation
577
Clark Hull's drive-reduction theory, introduced in the 1940s and 1950s and often termed the "push theory" of motivation, provides a framework for understanding how biological and learned drives influence behavior. Hull suggested that motivation originates from the need to alleviate physiological tension caused by unmet biological necessities. The theory proposes that when a basic need, such as hunger or sleep, goes unfulfilled, it creates an internal imbalance. This imbalance, or...

01:27Secondary Motives: Power Motivation and Achievement Motivation
247
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...

01:26Metacognition
288
Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...
