Perfectionism research has progressively supported an identification of two related dimensions, referred to as perfectionistic strivings (PS) and perfectionistic concerns (PC). Examinations of learner experiences based on these two dimensions have routinely demonstrated differential influence on academic emotions and performances, examining the…

Humans routinely use external thinking tools, like pencil and paper, maps, and calculators, to solve cognitive problems that would have once been solved internally. As many youth face unprecedented exposure to increasingly capable technological aids, there is a growing pressure to understand children's cognitive offloading capacities and…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) has been the focus of medical education, with the belief that mastering effective SRL strategies can significantly contribute to the academic achievements of medical students, thereby establishing a robust foundation for their future clinical practice. Despite the importance of SRL, empirical evidence linking SRL to…

Students make many decisions in academia concerning learning. One of the most critical among them is what learning strategy to use. This research surveyed faculty members from various Canadian colleges and universities to examine their opinions on the effectiveness of different learning strategies.

Background: Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) plays a crucial role in student success, particularly in blended learning (BL) environments where learners must take greater ownership of their educational journey. Whilst prior research has extensively examined SRL, there remains a gap in understanding how students' SRL profiles evolve over time and how…

This short-form manuscript in an ongoing line of research reports the effects of three listening approaches on rhythmic dictation scores. Forty-three undergraduate music majors completed dictations under each of three conditions, after hearing orienting tempo clicks: (a) immediate listening, (b) pulse tapping, and (c) silent, equivalent interval.…

The persistence of learning styles as a concept in educational discourse and research is paradoxical, given the overwhelming evidence discrediting the matching hypothesis, the notion that aligning teaching methods with students' preferred learning styles enhances achievement. This paper examines the resurgence of learning styles across…

Background/purpose: Learning mathematics often presents challenges for students, particularly in problem-solving and establishing mathematical connections. Self-regulated learning allows students to direct, adjust, and control their learning processes. This approach is essential in encouraging students to manage their learning strategies…

Spacing and retrieval practice enhance learning, but students often underuse these strategies. We tested a simple grading incentive, which we call Counting Days, in two RCTs: one randomizing 143 students within a course and another randomizing 71 instructors. The "counting questions" control condition awarded points for each practice…

Background: Research on multimedia instruction suggests that illustrations aid learning over straight text. Providing students with illustrated instructions may increase comprehension and retention of material. Objective: We tested if students would remember the material better if it was presented as an infographic where the content was…
