Exploring the Relationship Between Factors That Contribute to Interactive Engagement and Academic Performance

Abstract

In an educational context, technology can prompt interactive engagement only when it is used in conjunction with interactive engagement methods. This study, therefore, examines the relationships between factors that contribute to higher levels of interactive engagement and performance, such as interactive engagement methods, technology, intrinsic motivation and deep learning. Five hundred and twenty-six (526) higher education students participated in this study. With structural equation modelling, the authors test the conceptual model and identify satisfactory model fit. The results indicate that interactive engagement methods, technology and intrinsic motivation have significant relationships with interactive engagement; deep learning mediates the relationships of the other variables with performance.

Evaluation of Multimedia Assisted Applications Designed According to 7e Learning Model on Student Opinions

“…Research has shown that science teaching can be learned from formal sources and at the same time it can enhance the learning quality of learners through teachers who plan their lessons using informal sources such as written, visual media, television programs, animations, simulations, video-films. Therefore, audiovisual tools and equipment are effective in science teaching (Diogo, António and Nilza, 2011;Tlhoaele, Hofman, Winnips and Beetsma, 2015).…”
