Metacognition & Motivation (I) • What factors explain these individual differences with respect to SRL? • Prior domain knowledge • Higher PDK = More monitoring, higher-ordered strategies • Lower PDK = More strategies, smaller subset (strategies, take notes; Moos & Azevedo, 2008) • Motivation • Theoretical assumption of “setting the stage” Daniel C. Moos, PhD Department of Education Gustavus Adolphus College AERA 2013
Metacognition & Motivation (II) While theoretically assumed, the relationship between various motivation constructs and metacognition will be better understood with empirical research that uses process data and examines valences (positive and negative feedback loops)
Overview of Study: Research Questions • (1) To what extent does self-efficacy, intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, task value, and/or control beliefs predict various metacognitive processes during hypermedia learning? • (2) To what extent is prior domain knowledge related to self-efficacy, intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, task value, and control beliefs?

Overview of Study: Participants & Measures • Participants (N = 85) • 4 freshmen (5%), 15 sophomores (18%), 27 juniors (31%), and 36 seniors (42%); missing three • 63 females (74%) and 22 male (26%); missing one • Measures • PDK & Learning outcomes: Mental Model essay administered as pretest and posttest (Azevedo et al., 2005; Chi, 1994, 2000, 2005) • Motivation:Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ; Pintrich et al., 1991) • Self-Regulated Learning: Think-aloud protocol(Ericsson, 2006; Ericsson & Simon, 1993) Daniel C. Moos, PhD Department of Education Gustavus Adolphus College AERA 2011
Overview of Study: Participants & Measures, continued Think-aloud data (42.5 hours of audio recoding) Understanding Content Goals - - + + “What am I suppose to be learning about?” “This makes total sense…” “I think this site will help me…” “That video did not help at all…” “I don’t get this…”

Overview of Study: Results Self-efficacy Extrinsic motivation Self-efficacy
Overview of Study: Discussion • “Metacognitive Cost” • Why monitor understanding unless confident about capability to accomplish specific task? (i.e. high self-efficacy) • Theoretical implications: Motivation “sets the stage” for self-regulated learning • Design implications: Scaffolding metacognitive processes should be accompanied by motivational scaffolding (in particular, self-efficacy). The “skill” vs. “will” consideration. • Methodological implications: Movement towards online cognitive and metacognitive measures; should include online motivation measures • Is extrinsic motivation really that bad? • Is the relationship between motivation and metacognitive processes affected by learning environment (e.g., nonlinear learning environments such as hypermedia; Moos, 2010)?
