Student Reports of Affective Variables While Completing Electronic Homework (Maple T.A.)

Abstract

Mathematics educators, both K-12 and post-secondary, are incorporating technology as an assessment tool, and it is important to understand the effects that this technology has on student motivation and learning. This research project sought to determine how Calculus I students rated their flow variables (e.g. challege and skill) while completing electronic assessments, specifically Maple TA problems.
