The Effect of Self-Efficacy and Scaffolding on Students' Programming Learning in Robotics Learning Context

摘要

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of scaffolding and self-efficacy on students' programming learning performance in robotics learning environment. There were 89 junior high school students participated in the study. The results indicated that there is significant interaction between scaffolding mechanism and learning motivation on students' learning performance. The introduction of design journal did not have a significant effect on the learning performance of students with high self-efficacy, however, design journal had pronounced benefits for students with moderate self-efficacy. According to the findings, we proposed some directions for future studies.
