Research based on the design of Co-CrehAs: Co-creation of educational material adapted to high-ability students to improve their motivation

Abstract

This study defines a process for co-creating educational materials (Co-CrehAs) which aims to improve the motivation of high-ability students, where not only do the students themselves participate, but so too their teachers and family. from the process defined here, a software platform, (also called Co-CrehAs), has been developed. This platform includes AdapthAs; the adaptation model that considers the numerous variables for these students. To develop Co- CrehAs, a case study implementing five experiences was carried out using design-based Research (dbR) methodology. The results of the MSLQ-44 test (Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire) showed that the self-efficacy, selfregulation, use of cognitive strategies and intrinsic value aspects of motivation improved throughout the experiences. It was observed that Co-CrehAs and the use of AdapthAs helped high ability students focus on co-creating and group work since "assessment anxiety" diminished as the students went through the experiences. The results obtained allow us to see that co-creating educational materials that are adapted to the needs of high ability students helps them improve their overall motivation in the learning process.
