Figure 3: The division of the groups<br />

In this section, we present two comparisons. Firstly, we analyze the data between three groups, namely Viewing C,<br />

Viewing T and Changing T because based on the original randomization and the video analysis these groups are<br />

distinct. However, when only the video analysis and groups’ behavior is taken into consideration, we have only two<br />

groups, namely Viewing A and Changing T. Therefore, in order to provide a complete account of the results, we<br />

provide the analysis of both of these groupings. The validity, justifications and methodological implications of these<br />

groupings are further discussed in section Error! Reference source not found..<br />

Previous Knowledge and Motivation<br />

The format of Table 3 is similar to the Table 1. None of the differences were statistically significant neither<br />

Viewing C vs. Viewing T vs. Viewing T nor Viewing A vs. Changing T. This was different compared to the original<br />

experimental design where there was a significant difference in favor of the treatment group in previous<br />

programming course grades.<br />

Pre-test Prog. Course Grade CS Math<br />

Viewing C 9.27 (6.87) 2.61 (1.77) 10.72 (16.77) 9.13 (9.33)<br />

Viewing T 8.06 (4.49) 3.47 (1.46) 12.56 (21.04) 7.69 (6.63)<br />

Viewing A 8.86 (6.14) 2.90 (1.71) 11.33 (18.10) 8.64 (8.46)<br />

Changing T 9.29 (5.72) 3.14 (1.80) 10.43 (9.35) 9.67 (7.21)<br />

Table 4 shows the results from the same motivational questionnaire that was also reported in the Table 2 for the<br />

experimental groups (See Section 0 for the description of the questions). None of the differences were statistically<br />

significant.<br />

Changing T 5.19 (1.33) 5.19 (1.36) 5.86 (1.11) 5.67 (1.43)<br />

Time Allocation between Engagement levels<br />

Table 5 presents the distribution of the average times spent on each EET level. This was measured by watching the<br />

videos and marking times when the EET level changed from one to another, and then summing up the times on each<br />

EET level.<br />
