Motivationally Adaptive Computer-Assisted Instruction

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a prototype of motivationally-adaptive computer-assisted instruction (CAI). The foundation for motivational theory and design was provided by ARCS model. A computer-based tutorial was programmed to diagnose learner motivational states at various points in the lesson, and to present motivational tactics that were appropriate for the given motivational results. The study illustrates that the ARCS model can be useful and effective in support of designing for these dynamic aspects of motivation.

Development Of A Website To Check Instructional Design Based On The ARCS Model

This article describes the development of a prototype website that had capabilities for collecting data from instructional designers that was then analyzed in regard to motivation. The website would suggest areas that were strong or weak in motivation and then suggest strategies for improvement. The prototype was formatively evaluated with positive results.

Evaluation Of A Computer-Based Instructional Tutorial Using The ARCS Model

This pilot study demonstrates the feasibility of utilizing instructional theories, specifically on learning motivation, to evaluate a computer-based tutorial for the purpose of proposing effective instructional interventions. Keller’s ARCS Model of Motivational Design provides the conceptual framework to address motivational issues while developing instruction.
