Abstract
Despite its popularity in the classroom, hypermedia learning is challenging, as empirical research has shown. The inherent design of the hypermedia structure requires students to engage in a variety of metacognitive monitoring processes, which provides feedback that facilitates the process of adaptation during learning. The Self-Regulated Learning Theory (SRL) has provided a theoretical lens to examine these processes during hypermedia learning. While a myriad of theoretical approaches to SRL exist, the Information Processing model has been widely used in the context of hypermedia learning. This article outlines the contributions of this theory to field of hypermedia learning, while also highlighting the need for additional empirical research that systematically considers theoretically-grounded constructs of motivation within SRL. The premise of this chapter is that motivation offers a potential explanation of individual differences in how students respond to negative feedback loops during hypermedia learning. Methodological and theoretical challenges are examined, including the identification of specific motivation constructs (e.g., outcome expectations, incentives, efficacy expectations, attributions, and utility) that align with existing SRL theoretical frameworks.
