Paper Abstract:
|
This study aimed at investigating the effects of attitude and involvement motivation on learning outcomes and cognitive
load during mathematics performance under two instructional strategies using PG_Lab - learner-centered and
teacher-centered. PG_Lab was a computer-based graphics tool which could draw pictures of quadratic function in
computer. In this experiment, students were measured by mathematics learning attitude and involvement motivation
questionnaire during instruction, and self-reported cognitive load questionnaire after task performance. Results revealed
attitude, involvement motivation and instruction did affect some dimensions of cognitive load. These findings provided
good insights that cognitive load imposed by external factors such as instructional strategies could not be considered
independently from a learners factors such as learning ability, attitude and motivation. Students learning attitude and
motivation were needed to be concerned with in purpose of gaining better instructional effect |
