This interdisciplinary paper brings together scholarship from the fields of education, psychology, sociology and performance to shed light on three pedagogy and learning strategies to support learners recontextualise knowledge between higher education and work contexts. These strategies include offering multiple different types of performance…

Learning strategies encompass the diverse approaches students employ to master challenging subjects like anatomy. However, research examining these strategies in isolation remains inconclusive. Recent evidence suggests a shift toward a person-centered paradigm that considers how student subgroups combine multiple learning strategies. This study…

The present study investigated multilevel models posited to predict student approaches to homework. Participants were 1,072 middle school students in China. Results revealed that deep and surface approaches were positively associated with performance-approach. Furthermore, deep approach to homework was associated negatively with homework cost, yet…

Background/purpose: This study aimed to develop and validate a causal model of factors influencing the mathematical reasoning ability of Grade 6 students in Thailand. Materials/methods: The sample consisted of 530 students selected through multi-stage random sampling. Research instruments included a basic mathematics knowledge test, a mathematical…

Students are often encouraged to explain recently-taught information to others to enhance their learning in various settings including face-to-face in the classroom, through text, or in educational videos. However, nearly all studies on the impact of explaining things to others have focused on the effects of explaining to a less-knowledgeable…

Approaches to learning have been identified as crucial factors that influence students' mathematics performance. However, there have been mixed findings on which of the different approaches improve performance in undergraduate mathematics. Thus, this study aimed to unravel the specific effects of prior mathematics knowledge and approaches to…

In this post-COVID-19 era, the government policy suggests blended learning employing face-to-face and online modes. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of offline and online modes of the ANSARI (auditory, negotiation, strategies and somatic, administer information, reflections, interaction, and communications) blended learning model in…

Purpose: The purpose of this study aims to compare the academic performance and types of learning strategies used by APEL and regular entry undergraduates. It also explored the relationship between the academic performance and the types of learning strategies utilised by these two groups of undergraduate. Design/methodology/approach: This…

Academic procrastination can be described as the delayed completion of academic tasks. This behavior is pervasive among students from different grade levels and cultures. A structural equation model was run to analyze the relationships between prior knowledge and procrastination in mathematics mediated by self-regulated learning and self-efficacy…

The aim of this study was to examine which topic- and learning-related knowledge and motivational beliefs predict the use of specific deep-level learning strategies during an independent learning task. Participants included 335 Estonian fourth- and sixth-grade students who were asked to read about light processes and seasonal changes. The study…

Contemporary research has shown the prominence of social media as versatile platforms for language learning and practice. However, relatively few studies address the interplay between learners' prior experiences, attitudes, and agency in utilizing these tools for learning purposes. Drawing on a case study design, the present research aims to…

Foreign language anxiety and enjoyment have been shown to correlate with each other (Botes et al., 2022), but few studies to date have considered whether distinct groups of learners within the one class may experience these variables differently. This article considers whether learners who have arrived in Australian university intermediate…

Purpose: This paper aims to examine whether the instructional message used to introduce game-based learning (GBL), prior knowledge, flow and prior gaming experience have an impact on secondary students' learning outcomes, perceived game utility and motivation to use the game. Design/methodology/approach: Fifty-four 9th grades students enrolled in…

Background: Failure to effectively organize and manage learning time is an important factor influencing online learners' performance. Investigation of time-investment patterns for online learning will provide educators with useful knowledge of how learners engage in and regulate their online learning and support them in tailoring online course…

Hearing loss adversely affects language and literacy development and reading difficulties of deaf and hard of hearing (d/Dhh) students are well documented by a large body of research. Effective instructional strategies that employ evidence-based strategies to support the reading development of d/Dhh students are required. Therefore, the purpose of…
