The design of educational agents increasingly attracts researchers' attention recently. One of major reasons is that educational agents could enhance student learning in various aspects. Although research in this area has mushroomed, such research mainly emphasizes on students in higher education. It is still unclear how educational agents influence young student learning. In addition, competition is a significant element, but fewer studies take competition into account while designing educational agents. Although some studies have indicated that educational agents in competitive environments has positive effects on students' perception and attribution, its impacts on students' motivation and performance are unclear. Thus, the study develops an integrative agent that combines educational and competitive elements for young students, and further examines its influences, in terms of motivation and learning performance. The results revealed that such competitive educational agents could enhance students' motivation and learning performance. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Supporting students' basic psychological needs and satisfaction in a blended learning environment through learning analytics

Elise Ameloot, Tijs Rotsaert, Thomas Ameloot, Bart Rienties, Tammy Schellens

Summary: This study investigates the impact of using learning analytics to support students' autonomy and competence needs in a blended learning environment. The findings show that teachers' adaptation based on learning analytics positively influences students' satisfaction with the adapted learning environment. However, students' basic psychological needs vary depending on the face-to-face workshop subject. The study emphasizes the importance of thoughtful blended learning course design and provides recommendations for effective learning analytics utilization in university settings.

Enhancing elementary school students' computational thinking and programming learning with graphic organizers

Tzu-Chi Yang, Zhi-Shen Lin

Summary: Computational thinking is essential in the current era and learning programming is the most effective way to develop it. Introducing computational thinking and programming at an early age is recommended. Graphic organizers serve as a bridge between students' existing knowledge and new learning, enhancing their learning process. The study found that using graphic organizers improved elementary school students' computational thinking, programming skills, and learning experiences.

A novel quantitative assessment of engagement in virtual reality: Task-unrelated thought is reduced compared to 2D videos.

Vishal Kiran Kuvar, Jeremy N. Bailenson, Caitlin Mills

Summary: Recent research suggests that students' minds often wander off-task during learning, regardless of the learning modality. This study explores the potential of virtual reality (VR) to reduce task-unrelated thoughts (TUT) and finds that learning with VR leads to lower TUT and better performance.

Adopt or abandon: Facilitators and barriers of in-service teachers' integration of game learning analytics in K-12 classrooms?

Yiming Liu, Jeremy Tzi Dong Ng, Xiao Hu, Zhengyang Ma, Xiaoyan Lai

Summary: This study examines teachers' usage intention and behavior towards the Game Learning Analytics (GLA) system in K-12 classrooms. The study found that personal, environmental, and technological factors influenced teachers' intention and behavior, and that technostress moderated the intention-behavior relationship. The study also identified the heterogeneity of GLA usage among teachers with different individual characteristics.

Supporting the monitoring of the digital capacity of schools through optimal shortening of the SELFIE tool

Romina Cachia, Artur Pokropek, Nikoleta Giannoutsou

Summary: This article introduces a shortened version of the European Commission's SELFIE tool for measuring the digital capacity of schools. Two shorter measurement instruments, called midi-SELFIE and mini-SELFIE, are proposed based on the original tool. The validity and uses of these shortened versions are explored through various cases and compared to the complete instrument. The results suggest that the shortened versions of SELFIE are reliable alternatives for specific purposes.
