A Web-Based Program to Motivate Underachievers Learning Number Sense

초록

Existing computer-based learning programs rarely meet the needs of underachievers, mainly by not considering the role that motivation plays for this group. The aim of the paper was to show the web-based learning program for learning lower elementary level number sense concepts. It incorporates motivational design strategies derived from Keller's ARCS (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction) model. This program is expected to overcome the existing programs for underachievers learning number sense in the reason that motivational focus for the learners are reflected in the functions and features of the program.
