Proposal for the Volition Subcategories of the ARCS-V Model

Abstract

In this paper, the authors propose and discuss the significance of subcategories for Volition in the ARCS-V model. This model is an expansion of the ARCS model developed by John M. Keller. Three subcategories for the element of Attention, Relevance, Confidence and Satisfaction that provide hints for instructors and learners were identified in the ARCS model, but subcategories for Volition of the ARCS-V model have not been identified. Through volition-related research reviews, the authors identified keywords to classify subcategories for Volition for the ARCS-V model. The authors discuss whether the proposed subcategories can make the ARCS-V model more persuasive in the volitional phase of learning. The implications of the proposed subcategories are also discussed.
