Modelling the impact of study behaviours on academic performance to inform the design of a persuasive system

Understanding Students’ Motivation and Learning Strategies to Redesign Massive Open Online Courses based on Persuasive System Development

“…Both theories describe the process of behaviour to occur. However, these theories are not explaining behaviour change [11]. This is because of a persuasive system is developed to influence users" behaviour.…”

“…The scales are also designed to be modular so as to allow a researcher to develop a model structure to fit the needs of a particular study [33]. This ability to customize the MSLQ makes it an appropriate choice for use in the present study as our research is of an exploratory in nature and therefore requires greater freedom in interpreting the data collected [11]. Table I shows the MSLQ components.…”

“…Furthermore, learners lacking in learning strategies will not get much from open-ended learning [10] and it still uncertain on how MOOCs might affect students" motivations and participation, and how these later will impact their academic performance. By implementing persuasive technology, it might help solve these issues [11]. "Captology" (Computer as Persuasive Technology) or "persuasive technology" refers to a technology designed to influence users" behaviour without coercion [12].…”

“…"Captology" (Computer as Persuasive Technology) or "persuasive technology" refers to a technology designed to influence users" behaviour without coercion [12]. This technology can be implemented in an e-learning system as assistance to improve students" behaviour [11] and elicit positive emotions in students using the persuasive principles according to the suitability to improve students" trust towards the system [13]. According to the persuasive system design (PSD) model, the development of persuasive systems involve three different phases: 1) understanding key issues behind the persuasive system, 2) analyzing the persuasion context, 3) designing the system qualities [14].…”

A systematic literature review on persuasive technology at the workplace

“… 1 PT is broadly defined as technology that aims to change user behaviors or underlying attitudes. 1 , 6 , 7 , 8 This concept has recently been challenged, because PT raises questions around the borderlines between encouragement, persuasion, and, in particular, coercion. 9 Advocates of the classical definition (which in general excludes coercion) suggested the term behavior change support systems.…”
