Informal learning in the workplace is a critical yet understudied aspect of employee development. While formal learning receives significant attention, informal learning strategies play a crucial role in knowledge acquisition and skill development. Recent research highlights various antecedents of informal learning, including psychological and…

Learners' attempts to regulate their own motivation for studying in the face of tedious or difficult tasks is an important aspect of self-regulated learning. Therefore, motivation regulation has received increasing attention over the past few years, resulting in numerous publications using different definitions of the construct, samples,…

The present study explores the impact of different levels of competition involved in gamified learning on adult e-learners' intrinsic motivation, learning engagement, and language learning performance. One hundred and twenty participants were evenly and randomly assigned to two groups. A gamified learning procedure with a higher level of…

The goal of ITS is to support learning content, activities, and resources, adapted to the specific needs of the individual learner and influenced by learner's motivation. One of the major challenges to the mainstream adoption of adaptive learning is the complexity and time involved in guiding the learning process. To tackle these problems, this…

Feedback guidance is a common approach to influencing strategy choice, primarily aimed at correcting students' false metacognitive beliefs and promoting behavioral change. However, interventions that focus solely on cognitive perspectives may result in a gap between "knowing" and "doing," where students understand the guidance…

While decades of research from cognitive psychology provided insight into effective learning strategies for long-term learning, there is a discrepancy between what research recommends and what students do. We investigated first-year engineering students' knowledge and use of learning strategies, and how they experience and adapt to learning…

We replicated and extended Maurer and Shipp's (2021) intervention to teach students the successive relearning study strategy and encourage its use in preparation for course exams. This mixed-methods project was conducted in partnership between the faculty member teaching the course and an undergraduate student enrolled in the course. Results were…

Academic journals are valuable sources of scholarly information. Although journal articles are sometimes used to assist medical education, it is uncertain whether journal articles related to lecture content increase students' learning motivation. In the present study, we found that learning activities supported by lecture-related journal articles…

This study was conducted to explore the complex relationships among task value, self-efficacy, learning style, and mathematics achievement using a moderated mediation analysis. The research group was comprised of 378 eighth-grade students from public schools, selected through a convenient sampling approach. Data were gathered using a demographic…

Deep learning has gradually appeared in the field of teacher education research and is considered as an effective way to promote teacher professional development. To explore the relationship between teacher gender and deep learning strategies, as well as the mediating role of teachers' deep learning motivation, we conducted a questionnaire survey…

Two metacognitive knowledge types in deductive domains are procedural and conditional. This work presents a preliminary study on the impact of metacognitive knowledge and motivation on transfer across two Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs), then two experiments on metacognitive knowledge instruction. Throughout this work, we trained students on a…

Ethiopia's education system has undergone numerous reforms to produce competent citizens capable of tackling real-world challenges. This study investigates the effects of a designed problem-solving method with metacognitive scaffolding in enhancing students' academic motivation and achievement. The study employed design-based research and…

Constructing personalised and effective online language learning models based on individual personality differences is crucial in the field of education. However, there is little research on how to apply these models to students in science and engineering who have varying personality profiles. This study aimed to assess the validity of the Online…

MOOC attrition rates have become a research hotspot in open and online education, requiring researchers to pinpoint psychological, technological, pedagogical, and technical factors that could mitigate this problem. For this aim, the current study applied a tri-phenomenon approach to explore language learners' perceptions of support coupled with…

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of basic psychological need satisfaction and motivation on students' use of deep and surface learning strategies across undergraduate kinesiology courses. This study used a survey consisting of demographic questions and three self-report questionnaires assessing basic need satisfaction,…
