User modeling in gamified educational systems is a contemporary challenge. In particular, modeling the students' flow experience
(i.e., challenge-skill balance, action-awareness merging, clear goals,
unambiguous feedback, total concentration on the task at hand, sense of
control, loss of self-consciousness, transformation of time, and
autotelic experience) during a gamified system usage is highly challenging. It is because measurement' instruments usually are invasive, removing the users from the flow experience
and/or cannot be applied massively (e.g., participant observation,
questionnaires or electroencephalogram). We faced this challenge by
conducting a data-driven study (N = 23), where we used a robust
statistical method (i.e., partial least squares path modeling) to model the students' flow experience, based on their interaction data (e.g., number of mouse clicks) in a gamified educational system. The main results indicate a relationship between the interaction logs and four flow experience dimensions. Our finds contribute to the area of gamified educational systems, through the students' flow experience modeling. Finally, based on our results, we also provided a series of recommendations for future studies.
