A Collaborative Learning Design for Promoting and Analyzing Adaptive Motivation and Emotion Regulation in the Science Classroom

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to introduce our current research design to study socially shared regulation processes in a science classroom where a collaborative learning design is implemented. The design is based on a self-regulated learning framework that provides opportunities and support for self-initiated regulation among individual learners and collaborative groups. It utilizes modern technology to structure and support regulated learning in the groups. The paper focuses on elaborating the research design, particularly from the perspective of motivation and emotion, by presenting the dual relationship between designing learning scenario that supports learners' motivation and emotion regulation with technology and researching the multifaceted role of motivation and emotion as they occur in collaborative learning. To do this, the paper first describes the entire collaborative learning design while paying attention to how technology can be utilized to support the awareness of motivation, emotion, and their regulation. Then, the focus shifts to considering the methodological principles and implementation of multimodal data gathered in relation to authentic collaborative learning tasks. A case example from a secondary school science classroom demonstrates possibilities for multimodal data use in analyzing motivation, emotion, and their regulation in collaborative learning. It also illustrates the dual role of the implemented technological 6Q support tool by showing how data collected from the students' use of the tool can be utilized in scientific analysis. The paper concludes by providing a short discussion about the current advancements of emerging technology in motivation and emotion research in the learning sciences highlighting the significance of sharing the theoretical premises of the research design as well as practical experiences from implementation of these designs for future research.

“…Other studies indicate the importance of a decision support system for technology to assist in a better environmental scanning process (Villalobos et al 2019). Further studies in education support technology's role in shaping adaptive personalities in learning (Järvenoja et al 2020), thus providing cues for future research.…”

Exploring groups’ affective states during collaborative learning: what triggers activating affect on a group level?

“…With more profound understanding of indications of different data channels, the potential of multichannel process data lies in its possibility to be used when designing advanced technologies that can provide learners targeted and timely support when needed (Järvenoja et al, 2020).…”

Guidance in computer-supported collaborative inquiry learning: Capturing aspects of affect and teacher support in science classrooms

“…Learning in technology-enhanced collaborative inquiry requires instructional support in order to obtain all its benefits, as collaborating students bring different skills and abilities to their work, and there can be problems in group formation, group dynamics, and the learning process itself (Kreijns et al, 2013). At best, given the common goal, successful regulation of the group's processes (Järvenoja et al, 2020;Volet et al, 2013) enhances students' ability to gain subject knowledge, develop group skills, and further group cohesion, and, consequently, impacts students' satisfaction with collaborative learning (Dewiyanti et al, 2007).…”
