With technological advancements, Automated Writing Evaluation (AWE) has garnered increasing interest in L2 writing research, significantly enhancing our understanding of AWE tools’ practices and efficacy in L2 writing instruction. However, the relationships between feedback types (teacher vs. AWE) and different dimensions of engagement (cognitive and affective) remain largely underexplored. This study investigates the impact of feedback types on learners’ cognitive and affective engagement, as well as their L2 writing development. Seventy-two EFL learners participated as part of their regular English curriculum. Over twelve weeks, students received feedback on their essays from either a teacher or AWE programs. Progress in writing abilities was tracked through measurement tests, and engagement questionnaires were administered. Results indicated that both feedback types improved L2 writing abilities. However, teacher feedback proved more effective in promoting students’ cognitive and affective engagement compared to AWE feedback.

STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) 분야의 교육은 이 론적 지식뿐만 아니라 실용적 기술과 혁신적 사고를 필요로 하는 현장 환경에 대비하여 학습자들을 준비시켜야 한다. 이를 위한 방법 중 하나 로 교육을 통해 습득한 지식과 기술을 다른 맥락으로 적용하는 학습전이 가 강조된다. 이에 본 연구는 능동적 학습 참여, 고차원적 사고, 실무 능 력을 배양할 수 있는 플립러닝 교수법을 활용하여 다차원 학습자 수업참 여가 학습전이에 미치는 인과관계에서 지식공유태도와 학습자 효능감의 효과에 대한 메커니즘을 살펴보고자 하였다. K대학 응용화학과 학생을 대상으로 한 연구결과는 첫째, 정서적, 행동적 참여는 학습전이에 정(+) 의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 행동적 수업참여와 학습전이 간의 관계에서 지식공유태도가 부분매개를 하는 것으로 나타났다. 마지 막으로 학습자 효능감은 인지와 정서적 수업참여와 학습전이 간의 관계 에 대해 조절효과를 보였다. 이러한 연구결과를 통해 학습자 수업참여는 지식공유태도를 통해 학습전이가 되는 것으로 알 수 있으며, 학습자 효 능감이 학습자 수업참여와 학습전이 간의 관계를 조절한다는 것을 알 수 있다.

“Learner engagement” in higher educ ation is a challenging goal, even more so as we consider designing for, and supp orting, lifelong learners online. Learning organizations, from traditional to cybersystems, are tempted to look for universal plans and strategies that promise specific and guaranteed outcomes for students. While there are some universal strategies worth considering that support online learner engagement, we must also familiarize our selves with diverse sociocultural contexts of lifelong learning and about the effect of “engagement” as an explicit conceptual framework for developing online learning environments. As we work to further devel op online learner engagement, we must also consider the impact of interactions between and among instructional designers, subject matter experts, instructors, learners, the broader community, and the learning institution. These interactions in culturally -based, dynamic communities of learning and practice shift instructional design away from the purely predictable towards engaged learning. In this discussion paper, originally pre sented as a conference paper for the e-Lea rning Asia Conference 2009, we contrast institutional and sociocultural (global) responses to lifelong learning in the online environment, share Canadian approaches to engaged learning and instructional design, and reflect upon key questions about the development of engaged learning opport unities for online learners.
