Background: Social context and peers significantly impact students' motivation, especially in collaborative learning settings. However, there is limited evidence on how students strategically influence each other's motivation through socially shared regulation of learning (SSRL). Aims: This study examined secondary school students' SSRL during…

Molecular Cell Biology (MCB) should be taught according to the scientific practices, avoiding cumulative and memory knowledge construction, but favoring scientific thinking. A way to achieve this goal is to apply activities involving scientific news, which construct knowledge through significant learning and the development of critical thinking.…

This paper delves into the theoretical dimensions of metacognition, exploring how learners' awareness of their learning strategies and thought processes impacts language acquisition. Metacognition, or the awareness and regulation of one's own cognitive processes, plays a pivotal role in language learning by empowering learners to navigate the…

It has been suggested that self-organized study groups need to regulate their learning at three levels: the self-, the co-, and the socially shared level. Yet, little is known about how individual learner characteristics influence these regulation processes. In this study, we investigate how students' achievement goals are associated with…

This study investigates the beliefs and attitudes about group work of students entering their first year of university and beginning a training program based on cooperative learning activities. Its objective is to determine the extent to which these beliefs and attitudes depend on students' prior experience with group work, their motivation for…

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of robotic coding activities on elementary school students' metacognitive skills and attitudes towards robotic coding. A mixed-method approach was employed in the research, utilizing a single group pre-and post-test design. The study sample consisted of 20 students enrolled in the fourth grade…

This study investigates the effectiveness of individual versus group annotation procedures in improving reading comprehension among students learning English as a foreign language. The study aims to examine the effects of two annotation procedures, individual and group annotations, on students' reading comprehension and analyze their reactions to…

The current study uses a within-person temporal and sequential analysis to understand individual learning processes as part of collaborative learning. Contemporary perspectives of self-regulated learning acknowledge monitoring as a crucial mechanism for each phase of the regulated learning cycle, but little is known about the function of the…

Purpose: The present study explored relationships between social network position, SRL, and academic achievement among biomedical engineering (BME) students. Methods: A cohort of undergraduate students (n = 107) entering their first year in the BME major participated in an online survey that asked about their demographic information,…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) has been extensively explored in psychological research, particularly for its influential role in online education systems. Despite its importance, little is understood about how SRL-focused training impacts students' academic experiences. This study seeks to address this gap by examining SRL interventions within…

Collaborative inquiry-based learning (CIBL) is a notable instructional method used to nurture students' higher order thinking skills. Few studies, however, have examined the mediating effect of learning approach (i.e., deep approach and surface approach) as an essential component in collaborative inquiry-based learning and the association between…

Students' skilful use of self-regulatory learning strategies is becoming fundamental to the advent of blog-based learning. Moreover, the use of Interaction Analysis (IA) in studying the learning dynamics in Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) activities is on the increase, particularly aiming to support participants by means of IA…

More than fifty years ago, an idea took hold in Georgia. Eventually called the Foxfire Approach, its main idea is centered around a view of a democratic classroom. Following a general sense of John Dewey's pragmatism, Eliot Wigginton invested his energy and skills into his English classroom to propel students to choose worthwhile activities. This…

This article presents "Be a coach instead of a judge" pedagogy that has resulted in significant improvement in college student learning/performance, highly favorable student comments and better teaching evaluations. This pedagogy inspires students to learn by embracing empathy, enthusiasm, positivity and trust along with other learning…

Integrating educational assessment tools, such as the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), into university classrooms can help students and faculty gain insight into areas of strength and challenge for students. The present study adapted and integrated the MSLQ into a set of first-year communication courses for Faculty of Arts…
