Abstract
This paper describes how motivational processes affect students from the point of view of acquiring knowledge and skills, transfering them and using them in distance learning systems. Research in the social-cognitive framework illustrates the flexibility of the system and adequate adjustment of motivational patterns. A model of motivational processes, based on research, is presented as a function of learning objectives. The didactic-methodical approach to teaching was changed and adapted parallelly with monitoring the impact of the motivational factor on cognitive task performance and on students' responses, i.e. with the motivational factor influence on the success or failure of the cognitive outcome and the learning process quality. This work investigated the influence of specific knowledge areas and the interests of students on understanding professional or scientific lectures. The implications in practice and interventions done through the design of software of distance learning systems were aimed at correcting the educational process. Two forms of prior knowledge (expert knowledge and general thematic knowledge) were checked at the start as entrance tests and a preparatory course. After problem solving, a feedback analysis was carried out to determine the effects of prior professional knowledge, general thematic knowledge and interests on understanding and solving problems. The analysis of the results showed that for solving professional and technical tasks, prior knowledge of the domain, general thematic knowledge and interests were significant predictors of understanding and success.
Highlights
The educational process is a very complex and complicated process that involves the operation and interaction of many factors, the most significant ones being certainly course lecturers and participants, followed by other factors which in many ways can and should contribute to quality education
Poor skills, and inadequate environment of the educational process cause a drop in motivation
Without individualized corrective actions in the educational process, regaining motivation will not by itself lead to success; applying individualized corrective actions in the learning process without regaining motivation will have no effect
Summary
The educational process is a very complex and complicated process that involves the operation and interaction of many factors, the most significant ones being certainly course lecturers and participants, followed by other factors which in many ways can and should contribute to quality education. It is expected to see their further development and implementation as well as modern technological solutions for wider availability of education, specialization, teaching, training, etc In these circumstances and this environment, methodological approaches to knowledge transfer must be adapted to the fact that there is no direct interaction, and that "on-line" lectures and consultations are replaced by specialized automated systems for learning, for example, Tutoring Systems (TS). Choosing an appropriate methodological and didactic approach to learning in a combination with determined individual differences in learning, detection of emotional intelligence and emotional states, learners can raise their performances in learning, which should lead to increased motivation and improved efficiency of the educational process (Grimley, Riding, 2009, pp.). The analysis and discussion, in addition to providing examples of practical application of the results and solving methods, have a very important role in creating favorable conditions for the development of intrinsic motivation
