Abstract: This study aims to investigate effects of external aid that can enhance motivation and performance of serious game playing to maximize learning effects.Based on self-determination theory, two types of rationales, intrinsic goal framing and extrinsic goal framing, were examined to know which message type is effective.Also, individual's level of issue involvement was tested as a moderating variable.To investigate the effects of goal framing on motivation and moderating effects of involvement, this study designed a 2x2 (goal framing x involvement) between subjects with 120 middle school students in Korea.Three procedures involved for the experiment: 1) receiving message for manipulating involvement and goal framing 2) Playing actual serious game, and 3) answering survey questionnaire.Overall, providing intrinsic goal before a serious game was more effective to increase both motivation and performance than presenting extrinsic goal.However, there was no main effects and interaction effect in terms of issue involvement.
