The COIF model: Modelling the evolution of student states during collaborative sessions

This article introduces the COIF Model, a theoretical framework developed to contribute to the understanding of student working group. The model builds on cognitive and motivational aspects, perceived competence, and emotional disposition to analyse how students’ states evolve over time. The model specifically addresses the role of motivation by examining how students’ engagement, goals, and values influence their participation and learning outcomes in group settings. After presenting the theoretical background, the paper outlines the model’s central components, introduces the representative schema used, and demonstrates how the model can characterize the evolution of student states, including their motivational aspects.
