ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of student satisfaction on students’ engagement and motivation in a mobile-based flipped classroom. A total of 222 university students taking the Computing I course designed as a mobile-based flipped classroom were recruited. Data were collected through three self-report instruments: the Satisfaction Scale, Students’ Engagement Scale and Motivation Scale. Path analyses with structural equation modelling further verified that students’ satisfaction was related to their engagement and motivation while performing academic tasks in the mobile-based flipped classroom. Results suggest that students’ satisfaction and its sub-dimensions ‘communication and usability’, ‘teaching process’, ‘instructional content’, as well as ‘interaction and evaluation’, are significant predictors of students’ engagement and motivation in the mobile-based flipped classroom. Based on the findings, recommendations are proposed for instructors, instructional designers and researchers in terms of increasing students’ engagement and motivation in a mobile-based flipped classroom.

摘要

本研究的目的是检验学生满意度对移动翻转课堂中学生参与度和动机的影响。共有 222 名大学生参加了设计为基于移动的翻转课堂的计算 I 课程。通过三种自我报告工具收集数据：满意度量表、学生参与量表和动机量表。结构方程模型的路径分析进一步验证了学生的满意度与他们在基于移动的翻转课堂中执行学术任务时的参与度和动机有关。结果表明，学生的满意度及其子维度“交流与可用性”、“教学过程”、“教学内容”以及“互动与评价”、是基于移动的翻转课堂中学生参与度和积极性的重要预测指标。根据调查结果，就提高学生在基于移动的翻转课堂中的参与度和积极性方面向教师、教学设计师和研究人员提出了建议。
