Zachary S. Hazlett; P. Citlally Jimenez; Jennifer K. Knight – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2025
Evidence abounds that passive strategies such as rereading or highlighting are less effective than active strategies such as drawing models or explaining concepts to others. However, many studies have also reported that students tend to use learning strategies that they perceive as comfortable and easy, even when other strategies may be more…

Pankaj Chavan; Ritayan Mitra; Abhinav Sarkar; Aditya Panwar – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
The use of Experience Sampling Methods (ESM) to assess students' experiences, motivation, and emotions by sending signals to students at random or fixed time points has grown due to recent technological advances. Such methods offer several advantages, such as capturing the construct in the moment (i.e., when the events are fresh on respondents'…

Lardy, Laurent; Bressoux, Pascal; De Clercq, Mikael – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2022
The massification and diversification of the student population who enters university has become a challenge for Higher Education institutions. A better consideration of this diversity could help to gain a greater understanding of students' achievement process, and this requires observing situations where this diversity is substantial. Thus, in…

Christian Schlusche; Lenka Schnaubert; Daniel Bodemer – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2024
Individual learning strategies evoke (meta-)cognitive processes that enable effective goal-directed learning. Peer-directed academic help-seeking may provide new information, but related interaction processes are challenging. Applying learning strategies during help-seeking may enhance academic success. Competence in using social resources…

Anne Fensie; Teri St. Pierre; Jennifer Jain; Asli Sezen-Barrie – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2024
Adult learners are a significant proportion of distance learners and many of these students are working mothers. Several instructional design models center the learner, and this requires understanding the learner needs, strengths, and context. There is a gap in the literature describing the experience of modern working mother students in distance…

Davis, Sarah K.; Edwards, Rebecca L.; Hadwin, Allyson F.; Milford, Todd M. – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2020
This study examined prior knowledge and student engagement in student performance. Log data were used to explore the distribution of final grades (i.e., weak, good, excellent final grades) occurring in an elective undergraduate course. Previous research has established behavioral and agentic engagement factors contribute to academic achievement…

Chevrier, Marianne; Muis, Krista R.; Di Leo, Ivana – Journal of Experimental Education, 2020
We examined the role of epistemic cognition in calibration to task complexity before and during learning. Sixty-six undergraduate students were presented with two learning tasks--a simple task and a more complex task--in random order. Prior to learning, offline measures of learners' epistemic beliefs about climate change were taken. An open-ended…

Manganelli, Sara; Cavicchiolo, Elisa; Mallia, Luca; Biasi, Valeria; Lucidi, Fabio; Alivernini, Fabio – Educational Psychology, 2019
The present study examined the interplay between self-determined motivation and the use of cognitive strategies in predicting university students' academic performance while taking into account the effect of prior achievement. A theory based model was tested using structural equation modeling on a sample of 764 Italian university students. Results…
