- Description
- The fairness of vocational contest scoring is key to generating reliable competency assessments. This study examined the performance impact of the motivation of English-as-a-foreign-language learners in contests with vocabulary knowledge antecedents in the contexts of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain (BC). The sample comprised 185 participants of an oral English contest at higher vocational institution in China. AI-powered scoring of learners’ contest performance and a survey were used to collect data. The findings revealed that learners’ intrinsic drive was the main positive factor, outweighing their extrinsic motivation, and that AI and BC increased the trustworthiness and integrity of contest records, thus providing new opportunities to build learner trust and form psychological incentives. This study enriches foreign language motivation theory in the context of contest research and highlights the importance of using AI and BC to enhance the scoring accuracy and credibility of contests as authoritative evaluation instruments in vocational education.
