Abstract: Flow experience describe psychological condition in the form of optimal experience of an activity. Flow shows an interconnection, interest, and pleasure toward an activity, thus enable user to fully participate in the activity. In e-learning activity, flow provides positive experience of a learning process. This condition is essential in user’s ability to achieve high performance. Therefore, it is important to identify user’s flow experience during his interaction with e-learning. This information can be used as reference of how e-learning model provide response that in accordance with user’s psychological condition. Assessment of psychological experience based on flow theory have been conducted in many studies, particulary based on experience sampling method. However, these survey methods require high effort thus they are inefficient. The previous studies in this topic only covers conventional learning, with face-to-face interaction. In e-learning, particulary those that use adaptive context aware e-learning approach, flow experience can be assessed by conducting inference based on learning behavior parameters of learners during interaction with e-learning. However, there is no study that provide relation among learner’s learning behavior in e-learning with parameters of flow experience. Therefore, this study tested hypotheses aimed to obtain relation between learning behavior and flow experience. Hypotheses model constructed by involving technology acceptance model (TAM), expectation confirmation model, and flow experience as learning psychological condition. Learning behavior as a multicriteria attribute was represented by actual usage in form of intensity of using e-learning. Meanwhile, perceived balance of skill and challenge as representation of flow experience was selected as main variable in the proposed hypotheses. The result showed that these variables had positive relation with each other.
