Flipped classrooms have been growing in popularity in higher education for their potential to promote students' active engagement in learning. Ironically, the key to the success of flipped classrooms is the agency of students to actively participate in learning. The flipped classroom approach requires students' responsibility for their learning…

Cellphone-use in class has many negative effects on students' overall performance. By using a self-developed monitoring-app to record students' cellphone-use in class, this study attempts to explore the relationships of cellphone-use and self-control on academic performance. The subjects of this study are 207 freshmen who take part in advanced…

Although international students represent around 5% of the higher education population in the United States, research on psychological factors that result in this segment's academic success remains limited. This study sought to help fill this knowledge gap by exploring success factors that affect international students' academic progress.…

Emotional self-efficacy is a vital component in student academic engagement and performance, but few studies have identified emotional self-efficacy profiles from a person-centered perspective and examined their relations to self-regulation, motivation and academic performance in online learning environments. To address this gap, we performed…

The research purpose is to analyse the self-regulation of students who use the massive open online course (MOOC) technology to learn the exact sciences. The sample included 252 students: females were 47%, and males were 53%. The average age of students was 20.08 ± 0.72. The students were divided into two groups: group 1 consisted of students who…

This study has three main objectives. The first is to know to which degree engagement, as a person variable, and each of its modalities--agency, behavior, cognition, and emotion--are affected by the interaction with several learning situations, listening to a lecture, carrying out practical tasks alone, reading a text while studying, working in…

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many college students in developing countries to engage in online learning for the first time, and the sudden transit has raised concerns regarding students' competencies for, perception of, and attitude towards online learning. To address those concerns, this study measured three essential constructs of online…

The study investigated the effect writing prompts designed to elicit reflective and reflexive thinking could have on participants' self-regulated learning strategies and academic performance. The reflection prompts asked the students to think about the way they were working for the class they were enrolled in and to identify important elements…

Jigsaw is a peer learning procedure based on the assumption that making "children treat each other as resources" (Aronson & Patnoe, 2011, p. 8) stimulates cooperation among equals. Using a short-term, longitudinal experimental design in 14 sections of an undergraduate human anatomy laboratory, we contrasted this perspective with the…

This mixed methods study yielded two explanatory models for better understanding of the association between socioacademic factors and gendered racial identity among African American community college women. The quantitative portion explored the degree to which racial identity attitudes and sense of belonging with faculty were predictors of…

This study investigated the validity and reliability of the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) for minority students enrolled in STEM courses at a historically black college/university (HBCU). Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the third-order factor structure and to respecify the model. An adequate fit to the study…

Self-control is understood as the ability of the individual to manage his behavior and emotions, thoughtfully react to events that happen around him, and to prevent himself from acting out of undesirable impulses and emotions. This article presents two studies that sought to validate a Russian-language version of the Brief Self-Control Scale that…

The authors' aim was to determine the extent to which error detection contributes to the explanation of a cognitive and motivational model of student performance in an assessment test. A total of 151 science students of secondary education participated in the investigation. Two causal models were developed using a structural equation analysis.…

Current literature and research demonstrates that learning multiple languages allows for young learners to develop higher levels of executive functioning skills. Research also suggests that Dual Language Learners (DLLs) can surpass monolinguals in these executive functioning skills. Yet, there is a dearth of literature that explicitly discusses…
