there is a balance between the skill and challenge
that the game provides. If the game is too challenging, it leads to anxiety; if the game is too easy, it leads to boredom. ]]> 2019-11-13 07:13:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lohsj/29znh6k9uh4/wish/410409048 chiaxs https://padlet.com/lohsj/29znh6k9uh4/wish/410409140 Definition:  “online participation is a process of learning by taking part
and maintaining relations with others. It is a complex process comprising doing,
communicating, thinking, feeling and belonging, which occurs both online and offline” (Hrastinski, 2009).
1. Social presence could affect learners’ motivation since it can enhance degree of
realness in the online environment. Social presence is defined as the “degree of salience” of the other
person in the interaction and the consequent salience of the interpersonal
relationship --> aka how prominent you are in the interactions online would affect your motivation levels
2. By doing collaboration, learners can contribute to deeper learning, shared understanding, critical thinking and long-term retention of the learned material.
3. The online participation class showed relatively higher extrinsic and intrinsic motivation than low and control class.
4. High motivation did not significantly increase the
grade. However, higher motivation did significantly increase the learners’ PSD (perceived
skill development).
5. Learners with high motivation would mean that they had a spirit, encouragement,
and more efforts to learn more than the less motivated learners. This motivation
comes from subjective feeling of the learners, either extrinsic or intrinsic.
Consequently, when they feel that they learn something, they would have better
subjective reflection in their PSD.
6. One important finding was related to intrinsic motivation (flow). High online
participation group experienced significantly higher flow than other groups.
However, high online participation did not significantly increase learners’
extrinsic motivation (ARCS). Flow as intrinsic motivation has several advantages
over extrinsic such as learners more likely to select challenging task, gain more
knowledge, promote greater creativity, better conceptual learning, and greater

1) The academic self-concept of the non-winning students is not diminished but instead enhanced because there is sufficient emphasis on the effort put in and the benefits of participation.
2)  has a clear framework that encourages practice and facilitates the growth mindset: providing benchmarks to base improvements upon and places value on the challenge of improving.
3) it develops agency, where students are required to analyze situations, think on their feet, analyze results of their processes, make improvements and/or come up with alternative course of actions.
4) real world value can be placed on learning tasks to increase the beneficial peer comparisons amongst students about academic skills.
5) enhance social emotional learning such that collaboration and its benefits can be a natural part of its processes.]]> 2019-11-13 07:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lohsj/29znh6k9uh4/wish/410410377 https://padlet.com/lohsj/29znh6k9uh4/wish/410410553 What if the class profile has issues with ability and not learning culture?

Comparisons arise when the loser internalizes a belief their performances makes them less valuable as a person. This mindset can lead to a damaged self-esteem among adolescents.

Child's strengths and weaknesses; Children also learn that doing well in competition feels good; encourages kids to face up to challenges even more often to enjoy these positive feelings

2) Parents can identify and guide their growing children’s personalities
By providing a supportive environment; step in and counsel them toward the right mentality toward facing challenges if a child is afraid, upset, unsportsmanlike or unmotivated

3) Children learn a lot about relationships
competition produces losers and winners, the communication and social skills that competition endows children are boundless. Competition leads to learning cooperation
Children take these lessons about being a good loser or winner home with them, which replace sibling rivalry with love and empathy

4) Children learn values that are best learned through competition
Friendly competition in school has been proven to nurture inquisitiveness in children. They learn what drives them and how to look within to find a solution, rather than blame others. This occurs especially in team sports and group work, which schools worldwide frequently apply to teach effective communication and cooperation.
Learn resilience and persistence - life skills

5) Children learn to cope with stress
friendly playing fields that occur during a child’s education are invaluable in preparing them for the harsh realities that they will have to confront in their teenage years and beyond]]> 2019-11-13 07:26:04 UTC https://padlet.com/lohsj/29znh6k9uh4/wish/410411891 https://padlet.com/lohsj/29znh6k9uh4/wish/410412235 There will be students who are not interested in collaboration.
