within a variety of forms of the IBL setting, but some were implemented within both Internet-based and traditional<br />

F2F learning conditions. It was proposed that different extents of students’ ASE may have been derived from the<br />

differences in these learning environments. The studies involving ASE&IBL issues are summarized in Table 3.<br />

As stated, a number of studies (i.e. Sins et al., 2008; Waldman, 2003; Yukselturk & Bulut, 2007) have explored how<br />

ASE, coupled with other motivational constructs, plays a role in students’ successful IBL. That is, they have sought<br />

to find out how ASE may be associated with students’ IBL processes or IBL outcomes.<br />

Sins et al. (2008) tested 60 11 th -grade students’ conceptual model of the relationship between students’ achievement<br />

goal orientation and their ASE with respect to a modeling task in an Internet-based setting, where learners could<br />

collaborate online by means of a synchronous chat on inquiry assignments for science courses. The study found that<br />

learners’ mastery-approach goal orientation and their ASE were both positively related to their achievement in the<br />

modeling task and their use of deep cognitive processes.<br />

Similarly, in an attempt to find out what might influence students’ IBL of programming, Yukselturk and Bulut<br />

(2007) analyzed and examined the relationship among 80 online learners’ selected variables (i.e. gender, age,<br />
