This journey involves employing various strategies to engage with and analyze innovative concepts. Adaptive hybrid learning systems adjust course materials dynamically based on individual students' skills and learning progress, drawing from diverse learning theories and instructional interventions. Empowering students to drive positive social change is a central focus, with social entrepreneurs tackling global challenges such as poverty, unemployment, gender inequality, inadequate education, healthcare, and governance. While some students may find traditional classroom settings inconvenient and prefer the flexibility of hybrid learning, others weigh the risks and benefits of classroom instruction differently. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is utilized for empirical analysis, utilizing early-stage social entrepreneurship education as a performance measure and cultural probabilities as variables. The significance of college students' contributions through social enterprises is increasingly recognized, prompting the development of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models to forecast and assess career growth trends. The DEA-CNN framework aims to enhance adaptive hybrid learning systems by evaluating social entrepreneurs' knowledge, skills, and competencies. Social entrepreneurship not only addresses environmental concerns but also enriches cultural diversity. Many college students prioritize practical action over mere ideation, particularly in entrepreneurship.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47305,"journal":{"name":"Learning and Motivation","volume":"87 ","pages":"Article 102023"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141869479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through in-depth analysis, points out that the factors affecting healthy lifestyle are composed of three parts: the factors that influence behavior, motivation for the behavior and environment support, these factors can be divided into controllable factors and uncontrollable factors, the controllable factors can be interfered with and changed through scientific persuasive process. Then, based on the three elements of Fogg Behavioral Model, the persuasive process and the persuasive strategies in the design were deeply studied, the persuasive process and the behavior change process were combined, the correlation between the two was found, and the persuasive strategies should be adopted in the four stages of motivation, preparation, action, and maintenance were proposed. Finally, build a persuasive model of a healthy lifestyle.

Results of a structural equation modeling analysis indicated that all facets of FLTA were negatively correlated with CF. Furthermore, the first component of emotion regulation, i.e., cognitive reappraisal, had a strong negative association with all facets of FLTA except time management challenges. The other component of emotion regulation, expressive suppression, exhibited significant positive correlations with all components of FLTA, except difficulties with time management. Next, we investigated how two components of emotion regulation strategies could potentially mediate the association between CF and L2 teaching anxiety. Results indicated that cognitive reappraisal mediates the relationship between CF and four sub-components of FLTA, viz., fear of negative evaluation, lack of student interest, teaching inexperience, and self-perception of language proficiency. Additionally, expressive suppression mediated the relationship between CF and the four components of FLTA.

Experiment 2 replicated this finding. The stronger saccharin aversion learning in male rats was also observed in Experiment 3 with wheel running as the US, assessed by the saccharin-vs.-water choice test conducted after six saccharin-running pairing days. Experiments 2 and 3 also showed that the magnitude of induced nausea, reflected in the kaolin clay ingestion, is equivalent between the sexes. Experiment 4 excluded the possibility that the observed sex difference in saccharin aversion is due to the sex difference in inherent saccharin preference.

Here, a total of 328 s-year Chinese students majoring in mathematics completed the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) survey before and after the intervention involving an array of research-related assignments. Learners in the autonomy-supportive group showed a lower level of amotivation and higher intrinsic motivation compared to the pretest; the differences were 2.62 and 11.95 points. Their level of extrinsic motivation remained unchanged. The controlling intervention had the opposite effect, causing the mean extrinsic motivation score to increase by 10.25 points. The hybrid approach showed significant improvement in all three scales: amotivation (−3.82 points), extrinsic motivation (+4.35 points), and intrinsic motivation (+7.13 points). The autonomy-supportive teaching style corresponds to lower scores in mathematical modeling (72.30), linear algebra (74.62), and numerical analysis (77.65). High standard deviations indicate that research activity scores are spread out over a wide range. The controlling instructional approach yielded higher scores (83.95, 81.68, and 81.88 points, respectively) with the smallest standard deviations. Learners in the hybrid group scored the highest (86.98, 82.30, and 82.90 points, respectively), with moderate standard deviations indicating a well-balanced performance. The findings indicate that a hybrid approach, which combines autonomy support with instructor control, is the most effective in enhancing both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation among students, as well as improving their academic performance. The implications for higher education policy include the necessity of developing and implementing hybrid learning models that cater to the individual needs of students while providing the requisite level of support and oversight.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47305,"journal":{"name":"Learning and Motivation","volume":"87 ","pages":"Article 102016"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141328452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
