Abstract—While the Learning Management System (LMS)
has been recognized as a key e-learning platform, there is no
clear picture of the factors contributing to learners’ engagement
in LMS courses in literature. This study aimed at exploring the
relationship between students’ incremental beliefs of digital
intelligence and behavioral engagement in LMS courses with
achievement goal orientation as a mediator. The participants
were 176 undergraduate students in a Vietnamese university.
Implicit theory of intelligence and academic achievement goals
theory were used to develop the research model. A Structural
Equation Model (SEM) was applied to examine the relationship
between students’ incremental beliefs of digital intelligence and
the selected variables. Results showed that students’
incremental beliefs of digital intelligence were positively linked
to four types of achievement goals: mastery-approach,
mastery-avoidance, performance-approach, and
performance-avoidance goals. Moreover, except for
mastery-avoidance goals, the other three types were positively
linked to behavioral engagement in LMS courses. The findings
suggest that instructors’ encouragement can foster students’
incremental belief in digital intelligence and achievement goals.
Furthermore, to promote students’ learning engagement,
various approaches can be utilized to motivate students to
appropriately combine different types of achievement goals.
