abstract = "The current study investigates the relation between personalizable feature use, attitudes, and in-system performance in the context of the game-based system, iSTART-ME. This analysis focuses on a subset (n=40) of a larger study (n=126) conducted with high school students. The results revealed a positive relation between students{\textquoteright} frequency of interactions with personalizable features and their self-reported engagement and perceived system control. Students who frequently interacted with personalizable features also demonstrated better overall in-system performance compared to students who interacted with these features less often. The current paper adds to the growing literature supporting the potential positive impact that personalizable features have on students{\textquoteright} attitudes and performance in adaptive learning environments.",
