In recent years, unobtrusive measures of self-regulated learning (SRL) processes based on log data recorded by digital learning environments have attracted increasing attention. However, researchers have also recognised that simple navigational log data or time spent on pages are often not fine-grained enough to study complex SRL processes. Recent…

This study investigated students' perceptions of their behavioural and emotional self-regulation after a six-to-eight week implementation of classroom physical activity breaks (CPAB). It also explored students' perceptions of their affective states before and after CPAB, as well as their interest and engagement during CPAB. Eighty-two elementary…

While research into strategy-based instruction and language learning emotions has been thriving over decades as respective domains, research on how strategy-based interventions may influence learners' writing enjoyment has largely remained unexplored. Informed by (Positive Psychology) PP theories, this mixed-methods study aims to investigate the…

The increased global use of English has brought calls for a reconceptualization of English language teaching (ELT). Despite several frameworks for implementing Global Englishes (GE) into ELT, little research considers the effects of curriculum intervention or how such intervention varies across contexts. Addressing this gap, this comparative case…

In a previous study we detected that a number of inquiry stages (data collection, analysis and conclusions) went unnoticed by the students of an in situ joint online/onsite master's degree via online teaching. In this paper we analyse the effect of improved instruction, in which students fully experienced and became aware of all the stages that…

This paper provides concrete suggestions for teaching two Holocaust testimonies, Irene Hauser's diary and Ruth Klüger's memoir "Still Alive." Hauser's and Klüger's texts effectively illustrate the differences between diaries and memoirs while recounting similar experiences. Such a comparative analysis, I argue, achieves two goals: First,…

With a growing interest in Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) in education (Goldberg et al., 2019; Gordon et al., 2016; Todd et al., 2022), schools have been positioned as effective settings for SEL development of students (Nielsen et al., 2015). As the potential of Physical Education (PE) to promote student learning in social and affective…

Objective: Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) reduces anxiety among undergraduate students; however, there is limited evidence demonstrating mechanistic underpinnings. Theoretical models implicate cognitive self-regulation as a mechanism. This study explored whether an adapted MBSR embedded in a college course reduced anxiety and if…

Action Learning (AL) in higher education has been mainly used at the postgraduate level so far. In this article, we contribute to deepening the academic conversation about the adaptation of AL at the undergraduate level. Building upon our own personal experiences as teachers and insider researchers we analyse 53 learning diaries of undergraduate…

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of mathematics (math) diaries on academic achievement, metacognitive awareness and motivation of students in a mathematics lesson. The case study was conducted with a qualitative, quasi-experimental design and a quantitative, embedded multiple-case design as a mixed research model. The sample of…

The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine the impact of an undergraduate short-term experiential learning nutrition course on influencing students' perceptions toward individuals experiencing poverty and food insecurity (FI). The Undergraduate Perception of Poverty Tracking Survey (UPPTS) was the tool used to measure perception. Student…

Historically, the lecture-based course delivery format has been the standard method of teaching across most college campuses. While this was once an effective approach for previous generations, it is now understood that this format creates a stale learning environment. To prevent this from happening with the Gen Z learner (1995-2012),…

This study investigates Roma undergraduates' partner selection patterns, examines the main factors in students' partner selection attitudes, and analyzes the structural role in students' network. We rely on data from semi-structured life-narratives and contact diaries of 67 Roma undergraduates. Three main partner selection patterns were…

The following study examined the effect of mindful practices on college student attitudes and learning comprehension using two sections of an introductory biology course taught by the same instructor. One section used lecture complemented with active learning formats while the other section additionally included mindful practices. Comparisons were…

The advent of Internet-enabled mobile digital devices has transformed U.S. adolescent technology use over the last decade, yet little is known about how these changes map onto other health-related behaviors. We provide a national profile of how contemporary technology use fits into adolescents' daily health lifestyles compared with the previous…
