Understanding difficulties and resulting confusion in learning: An integrative review
Difficulties are often an unavoidable but important part of the learning process. This seems
particularly so for complex conceptual learning. Challenges in the learning process are …

Towards a theory of when and how problem solving followed by instruction supports learning
Recently, there has been a growing interest in learning approaches that combine two
phases: an initial problem-solving phase followed by an instruction phase (PS-I). Two often …

The role of epistemic emotions in personal epistemology and self-regulated learning
KR Muis, M Chevrier, CA Singh - Educational Psychologist, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
The purpose of this article is to delineate the role of epistemic emotions in personal
epistemology and self-regulated learning (SRL). We first review important tenets of personal …

Confusion can be beneficial for learning
We tested key predictions of a theoretical model positing that confusion, which accompanies
a state of cognitive disequilibrium that is triggered by contradictions, conflicts, anomalies …

Dynamics of affective states during complex learning
S D'Mello, A Graesser - Learning and Instruction, 2012 - Elsevier
We propose a model to explain the dynamics of affective states that emerge during deep
learning activities. The model predicts that learners in a state of engagement/flow will …

Better to be frustrated than bored: The incidence, persistence, and impact of learners' cognitive–affective states during interactions with three different computer-based …
We study the incidence (rate of occurrence), persistence (rate of reoccurrence immediately
after occurrence), and impact (effect on behavior) of students' cognitive–affective states …
