Abstract

The development of technology has affected learning processes. Assessment systems used for improving or increasing learning have been reshaped with the development of technology and needs. Along with the developing evaluation systems, evaluation systems shaped around different purposes have taken their place in the studies. An instructional design is made to improve learning and increase student performance. Then students are included in a learning process. Students may encounter many difficulties in the learning processes they are involved in. They may apply for help to cope with these difficulties. Three types of help-seeking behaviour are mentioned in the literature. These are; a. executive b. instrumental and c. avoidance of help seeking. While instrumental help-seeking is limited to help the learner solve the problem, executive help-seeking focuses on solving the problem directly. In this study, the relationship between help-seeking behaviours and students' psycho-educational characteristics was examined. An e-assessment system with multiple-choice questions compatible with the 5th grade mathematics course outcomes in the curriculum was designed for the students. In the system, gamified help-seeking options were presented at the point where students had difficulty. There are four different help seeking options: 50% Chance, Ask the Audience, You Answer (executive help seeking) and Hint (instrumental help seeking). The relationship between students' help-seeking options and their prior knowledge levels, goal orientations and motivation components was analysed. In line with the findings of the study, while there was a significant relationship between prior knowledge levels and help seeking, the relationship between students' motivation towards mathematics course and goal orientations in mathematics course learning and types of help seeking formed a pattern different from the literature. The resulting pattern is explained by evaluating it together with the students' opinions.
