Abstract

Using a quasi-experimental research design, this study examined the effects of technology-mediated instructional strategies on motivation, performance, and self-directed learning. The subjects in this study were undergraduate students enrolled in a tuition-free, public military school in the Northeast United States. 784 students, representing approximately 20% of the population at the academy, were randomly divided into control and experimental groups for each of 17 instructors in the study. Interventions were developed using Keller's Attention-Relevance-Confidence-Satisfaction (ARCS) model of motivational design and were delivered via PDA, web, and other technologies. Quantitative and qualitative data was collected on self-directed learning, motivation, and performance. Findings revealed that there were significant differences between performance of students who accessed the technology-mediated instructional strategies and those who did not access the strategies.
