Emotional responses to feedback in adaptive learning technologies for early mathematics education
Background
Adaptive Learning Technologies (ALTs) have become increasingly prevalent in early mathematics education. These systems assess learners’ performance in real-time to adapt instructional support and give immediate feedback. This feedback can evoke various emotional responses. The precise impact of feedback on emotions and consequentially learning is not yet well understood and may differ between and within learners.
Aims
This study aimed to gain a detailed understanding of young learners’ emotional responses to immediate feedback provided by ALTs, with the purpose to present unexplained data that can be used to refine theory and propose initial design recommendations for emotion-adaptive support.
Sample
Participants were 113 Dutch fifth graders (ages 10–12; 52 % boys) working with a widely used ALT for mathematics.
Methods
Learners solved math problems and received immediate feedback on each answer. Their emotional responses were assessed using a multimodal approach combining physiological, experiential, and behavioural measurements.
Results
Physiological data indicated that feedback is associated with emotional responses, while experiential and behavioural results were inconclusive on the valence and nature of these responses. These results indicate that physiological, experiential, and behavioural measures of emotion are complementary. Together these data streams revealed four latent profiles reflecting young learners’ different emotional responses to feedback.
Conclusions
Multimodal data streams offer valuable insights for capturing emotional responses to feedback, refining both empirical understanding and theory. These novel findings highlight young learners’ varied emotional responses to feedback in ALTs, address theoretical gaps, and underscore the potential of emotion-adaptive support.
期刊介绍:
As an international, multi-disciplinary, peer-refereed journal, Learning and Instruction provides a platform for the publication of the most advanced scientific research in the areas of learning, development, instruction and teaching. The journal welcomes original empirical investigations. The papers may represent a variety of theoretical perspectives and different methodological approaches. They may refer to any age level, from infants to adults and to a diversity of learning and instructional settings, from laboratory experiments to field studies. The major criteria in the review and the selection process concern the significance of the contribution to the area of learning and instruction, and the rigor of the study.
