Abstract

This study proposed and evaluated a Learner Profile System (LPS), which is a web-based solution to generate multiple types of learner profiles. The contents of the profiles include the basic information about the learners, such as, demographics, preference profile, interest profile, learning styles (LS), and motivational goal orientation (MGO). The pilot study of the instrument, a specifically designed Student Survey (SS) for the LPS, was conducted on the middle school students (N = 60) to measure the construct validity and reliability. The internal consistency reliability of the MGO across two motivational aspects was 0.6530, and the exploratory factor analysis revealed four components. Afterwards, an experimental study was done on the middle school students (N = 307), in order to examine the impact of LPS on learners’ achievement. To supplement the above data, semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore teachers’ perception and their perspective regarding the feasibility and use of the LPS. The analysis of the results showed that the group which learned using the LPS demonstrated significant improvement in their assessment scores in comparison to the controlled group. This study supported the hypothesis of a positive impact on learners’ achievement through the use of personalized learning profiles.
