Abstract
This article is devoted to the research of learning motivation of students studying at Plario - an adaptive learning platform developed by ENBISYS company in cooperation with Tomsk State University. The adaptability of Plario is due to the presence of an individual path of mastering skills, which is updated when students complete tasks proposed by the platform. The system of student motivation in Plario is built ambiguously. At the same time, reference to learning motivation of students is necessary for organizing effective educational process. Thus, the aim of this research is to diagnose the learning motivation of students, their attitude to the adaptive learning platform to improve the student motivation system in Plario.
The target audience is the 1st year students, who study mathematics on this platform. The research was carried out in the format of an online survey using the questionnaires “Academic motivation scales” (Gordeeva T. O.), “Need for goal achieving” (Orlov Yu. M.) and the specially designed questionnaire to study the attitude towards learning on Plario. The obtained data on learning motivation were comprehensively studied taking into account the portrait of the research audience. Based on the results obtained, recommendations for development of Plario were drawn up.
