The impact of trace data and motivational self-reports in a game-based learning environment

COMPUTERS & EDUCATION, 157.

By: S. Syal n & J. Nietfeld n

Contributors: J. Nietfeld n

author keywords: Games; Elementary education; Evaluation methodologies; Motivation
TL;DR: Comparison of fifth-grade children's motivational self-reports with trace measures in their ability to predict both performance and content learning in Crystal Island - Uncharted Discovery, a science-based GBLE revealed that self-reported achievement goals and interest failed to significantly predict off-task behavior and accounted for only 3% and 5% of the variance in predicting the two measures of in-game engagement.
