Concluding

After the long process, of this Action Research project, I have come up with the following conclusion,

Online video-making tasks increased fourth graders motivation for the following autonomous learning behaviors: Choosing different aspects of the learning process, cooperating with the learning process of peers, self-assessing the progress of learning, defining clear learning goals, and organizing the student’s own learning process. Along the side of the online video-making tasks the following motivational strategies were used: allowing learners real choices about their learning process, handing over functions to the learners for cooperative work, and the teacher adopting the role of a facilitator.
