Practice Package Design in Computerassisted Learning: Intrinsic Interest and Delayed Retention
Paper Title: Practice Package Design in Computerassisted Learning: Intrinsic Interest and Delayed Retention Authors: Vasileios Daloukas1, Anthi Karatrantou1, George Koutromanos2 and Christos Panagiotakopoulos1, 1University of Patras, Greece, 2National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece ABSTRACT Digital practice packages combine feedback, reattempts, and performance cues, yet little is known about how post-activity interest relates to later retention. Guided by self-determination theory, we compared a digital quiz package with a paper worksheet using the same 36-item pool in 30 fifth-grade classrooms from 24 primary schools (N = 437). Within classrooms, two algorithmically balanced groups were formed and randomly assigned to conditions. Students completed a pretest, practice activity, intrinsic-interest measure, and delayed posttest 7–10 days later. In the available-outcome analysis (N = 397), students assigned to the digital package showed higher delayed ret...
