A System for Facilitating Higher Order Thinking Skills among Low-Achieving Students

this study was conducted to investigate the potential of integrating the concept of flow into the design of online learning environments as an attempt to reduce anxiety and promote self-regulation among students. An online adaptive learning system that named MetaRegulation System based on flow theory was developed. The design of MetaRegulation was established by balancing between the challenge of the task and an individual's skills for different levels of complexity.

The MetaRegulation system promoted students’ learning of mathematics by reducing their anxiety and increasing their self-regulation.
