Gao, Ming; Zhang, Jingjing; Lu, Yu; Kahn, Ken; Winters, Niall – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: As a non-cognitive trait, grit plays an important role in human learning. Although students higher in grit are more likely to perform well on tests, how they learn in the process has been underexamined. Objectives: This study attempted to explore how students with different levels of grit behave and learn in an exploratory learning…
