Prior research suggests a link between curiosity and metacognition, but how curiosity is involved in two key metacognitive processes -- metacognitive monitoring (i.e., assessing one's cognitive states and performance) and metacognitive control (i.e., adjusting decisions and behaviors) -- remains unclear. In three experiments (N = 264) participants…

In the literature on classroom practices, one shared claim is that content is simplified for students when the teacher uses features enregistered as the non-official classroom…

Cyber-slacking interrupts classroom teaching and learning activities and is associated with poor academic performance. Based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), this study aimed to investigate whether both cognitive (i.e., attitudes, perceived norms, and perceived behavioral control) and affective (i.e., fear of missing out [FoMO]) factors…
