ResumoThis study investigates a Computer Assisted Learning System (CALS) according to the several factors that promote flow where students are fully involved into the learning activities for history of civilization lessons. The designed CALS supported by meta – cognitive (cognitive maps) and multimedia tools (movies, flash cards and quiz applications) that help students to reach a flow state in learning by actively by engaging students’ critical thinking and providing an environment for active participation. The research data was collected using focus group surveys from a randomly selected 54 students enrolled in history of civilization at Bahcesehir University in Istanbul, Turkey. Results showed that 53.7% of students can be in flow via implemented CALS. Also according to the results, the flow has significant predictors in the course enjoyment, perceived competence of course, value–usefulness and the challenge–learning style match according to nature of course in such a CALS.
