Abstract:
The use of digital tools for learning has the potential to positively affect student motivation. While exploring the extent of use of digital tools for learning by STEM students at the University of Rijeka, it was observed that the current level of use is not at the expected level. Obtained research results have shown that surveyed STEM students are currently not encouraged nor intrinsically motivated enough to explore the possibilities of using freely available digital tools for learning. With the aim of influencing student motivation, we propose building an evaluation system in STEM education based on the principles of Educational Recommender System.
