Numerous scholars have empirically explored the impact of gamification on enhancing students' learning, yielding varied findings regarding the effectiveness of gamification, but whether students of different learning styles are all supportive of gamified education and game elements is still an open question. This study examined whether and why…

Background/purpose: This study investigates the probabilistic thinking process in solving probability problems by prospective mathematics teachers with a field-independent cognitive style. The objective is to explore how individuals with this cognitive style approach problem-solving based on the three stages of Polya's framework: understanding the…

This research investigates the influence of culture on sketching by comparing UK and Chinese designers. We employed a novel dual-method approach: machine learning algorithms analyzed a dataset of 2,090 digitized sketches from student designers, while protocol analysis based on shape transformation rules examined the sketching processes of…

This research set out to enhance our understanding of the exam techniques and types of written annotations or markings that learners may wish to use to support their thinking when taking digital multiple-choice exams. Additionally, we aimed to further explore issues around the factors that contribute to learners writing less rough work and…

Teacher autonomy-supportive style and controlling style are considered to be common motivating styles that affect online learning effectiveness. However, the associations between perceived teacher autonomy-supportive style and controlling style and undergraduates' self-regulation of online learning needs to be further explored, especially in terms…

Introduction: There is evidence of the relationship between the academic achievement of university students and the learning styles and strategies they use. However, there are inconsistencies between the results of the different studies on the topic, making it difficult to identifying a profile that would allow the prediction of high academic…

Training of self-regulated learning is most effective if it supports learning strategies in combination with metacognitive regulation, and learners can transfer their acquired metacognitive regulation skills to different tasks that require the use of the same learning strategy (near transfer). However, whether learners can transfer metacognitive…

While creativity anxiety has been found to have negative relationships with various creative outcomes, whether creativity anxiety would also negatively influence creative cognitive styles (i.e. idea generation; idea selection) and the mechanisms underlying these impacts are still unknown. Based on the Self-Efficacy Theory (SET) and the Dual…

This study examines the relationship of achievement emotions to academic performance and to learning styles in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, a largely unexplored area of research. Employing a quantitative research design, 300 participants from the Applied College at a public university completed an adapted version of the…
