The impact of emotional value in digital teaching resources on learning motivation-an empirical analysis based on a questionnaire survey.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The rapid expansion of digital teaching resources under initiatives such as Smart Education and Internet + Education has provided higher vocational education with unprecedented access to diverse platforms and instructional tools. However, increased accessibility has not produced proportional gains in learning motivation, creating a paradox of "more resources, weaker motivation." Understanding the motivational mechanisms behind this imbalance has become a pressing challenge. Objective: This study explores how emotionally empowering value embedded in digital teaching resources affects students' learning motivation and identifies the emotional dimensions and pathways through which empowerment exerts its effects. Methods: A structured questionnaire was administered to 1,303 medical students in five-year higher vocational programs. The survey comprised demographics and usage patterns, a 26-item Emotionally Empowering Value Scale (six dimensions), and a 13-item Learning Motivation Scale grounded in the Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction model (ARCS). Data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0 and Python via descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, and multiple regression. Results: Students exhibited relatively high learning motivation, with significant variations by gender, grade, and resource-use frequency. All six emotionally empowering value dimensions were positively associated with the three motivation subdimensions (all Conclusion: Embedding emotional value within digital teaching resources is essential for sustaining students' motivation. Platform empowerment enhances persistence and confidence through external feedback, while self-empowerment fosters intrinsic engagement and self-directed learning. These findings extend Self-Determination Theory and the ARCS model into digital learning contexts and offer practical guidance for designing emotionally supportive learning environments in higher vocational education.
