We report findings from an exploratory study on developmental mathematics students’ perceived experience re-learning content they had already studied in middle- or high-school. Our findings suggest that these experiences are largely shaped by students’ expected and perceived learning outcomes associated with that content. We describe how six of those learning outcomes depend on students’ confidence in their previous understanding of the content to be re-learned, and how those learning outcomes influence students’ modes of engagement during (and emotional reactions to) their re-learning experience.
