Applying affective assessment to detect the ICT infused mathematics intervention effect

The purpose of this study is to investigate the predictive power of a computerized mathematics learning approach scale (CMLAS) change measure. The change of CMLAS is applied as an indicator for ICT infused mathematics intervention effect. A computerized dynamic assessment model which combines mathematics computerized adaptive testing (MCAT) and a two-phase ICT infused intervention is implemented in this study. The first intervention phase uses a spatial game to modify student´s mathematics learning approach. The second intervention phase focuses on fostering the slow learner´s automaticity of numerical operation. The results suggest that the assessment of goal orientation change is a good predictor for ICT infused mathematics intervention effect.
