Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium extends research on emotions in technology-rich learning environments by bringing together a multi-disciplinary group of top educational technology, educational psychology, and emotion researchers. The four papers employ diverse methodological and analytical approaches to investigate emotions in various technology-based learning environments. The papers highlight implications for measurement, investigate longitudinal and contextual fluctuations of emotions, provide evidence of the predictive utility of emotions, and extend the control-value theory within technology-based learning environments. The primary purpose of this session is to use an assortment of empirical results, a comprehensive review of the literature, and a stimulating discussion to encourage researchers to reflect and expand current work on emotions in technology-rich educational contexts.
