Direct linkGiofre, David; Mammarella, Irene C.; Ronconi, Lucia; Cornoldi, Cesare – Learning and Individual Differences, 2013
A study was conducted on the involvement of visuospatial working memory (VSWM) in intuitive geometry and in school performance in geometry at secondary school. A total of 166 pupils were administered: (1) six VSWM tasks, comprising simple storage and complex span tasks; and (2) the intuitive geometry task devised by Dehaene, Izard, Pica, and…

Buric, Irena; Soric, Izabela – Learning and Individual Differences, 2012
The aim of this study was to examine the relationships amongst students' test emotions of hope and hopelessness, their antecedents of cognitive control and value appraisals and volitional strategies during learning, as well as their effects on academic achievement in the domain of mathematics, using the control-value theoretical framework. Sample…

McCune, Velda; Entwistle, Noel – Learning and Individual Differences, 2011
This article discusses the need, in 21st century university education, to encourage a "will to learn" in students, and explores its meaning using a variety of empirical evidence. It draws on previous studies related to academic understanding to introduce the idea of a "disposition to understand for oneself" and to consider how teaching-learning…

Panadero, Ernesto; Tapia, Jesus Alonso; Huertas, Juan Antonio – Learning and Individual Differences, 2012
This study compares the effects of two different self-assessment tools--rubrics and scripts--on self-regulation, learning and self-efficacy in interaction with two other independent variables (type of instructions and feedback). A total of 120 secondary school students analyzed landscapes--a usual task when studying Geography--in one of twelve…

Gonida, Eleftheria N.; Voulala, Katerina; Kiosseoglou, Grigoris – Learning and Individual Differences, 2009
The role of perceived school goal structures and parent goals in predicting adolescents' goal orientations and their behavioral and emotional engagement in the classroom was examined in the present study. Surveys were given to a sample of 271 seventh- and ninth-grade students. Path analyses showed that (a) perceived school mastery goal structures…

Freeney, Yseult; O'Connell, Michael – Learning and Individual Differences, 2010
Beyond cognitive ability and family background, are there other significant determinants of educational attainment? From research in psychology, economics, education and criminology, one powerful influence is the ability to delay gratification, operationalised in this paper as "delay-discounting". It is intuitively plausible that the…

Ferla, Johan; Valcke, Martin; Schuyten, Gilberte – Learning and Individual Differences, 2008
Using Vermunt's model [Vermunt, J. D. (1998). "The regulation of constructive learning processes". "British Journal of Educational Psychology", 68, 149-171] of self-regulated learning as a conceptual framework, this study aims to contribute to the development of finer grained models of higher education students' learning by (1) investigating…

Meneghetti, Chiara; Carretti, Barbara; De Beni, Rossana – Learning and Individual Differences, 2006
The aim of this study was to understand whether the reading comprehension process is better explained by a single or by multiple factors. 184 students (9 to 13 years old) were presented with a recently devised battery of tests, that measure ten aspects of reading comprehension. Structural equation modelling showed that a two factors model better…
