Although grit has been an important individual factor contributing to learning, studies are limited regarding second/foreign language (L2) specific grit. Additionally, most approached it without disentangling the differential role of its two dimensions, and the context was restricted in traditional face-to-face language learning. It remains…

This study examines metamotivation--the beliefs and processes that allow for flexible regulation of motivational states to achieve desired outcomes. We investigated (1) metamotivational knowledge across grade levels, (2) the cultural and developmental generalizability of the metamotivational knowledge and performance association, (3) the role of…

In Banten Province, Indonesia, most ECE institutions are privately operated, reflecting strong community involvement. This study examined the coherence between learning models and techniques in fostering scientific attitudes,…

We report the results of a preregistered classroom experiment (https://aspredicted.org/x25h-d427.pdf) investigating the immediate and long-term effects of interleaved practice for learning spelling rules among German third graders (N = 147). The study also investigated whether instructional guidance--comprising prompts and explanations that…

Lecturers often claim that time constraints cause tension regarding feedback on students' assessment opportunities. Assessment strategies for effective feedback procedures can lead to early identification of problem areas in student performance. Numerous students at higher education institutions (HEIs) do not complete their qualifications or take…

This research investigates the use of the Brainstorming method in the learning process to withdraw the best idea for improving students' Mathematical connection skills and the relation of Mathematical connection skills with metacognition skills. This study utilizes a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental model pretest-posttest control…

Although there is consensus that second language grammar instruction is needed, some controversial issues remain. Whatever instructional options are selected, it is vital that they allow the development of not only explicit knowledge but also implicit or at least automatized knowledge that can be used in real-time interaction. Since this aim is…

Purpose: Language learning is often conceptualized as a cognitive, psycholinguistic or pedagogical process confined to formal classroom contexts. Scant attention is paid to the autonomy of young learners in out-of-class situations. Methodology: Using an emic approach, this study attempts to fill the research gap by analyzing the visual and verbal…

This study aimed to reveal the level of learning and study strategies, which represent an important element of the effective study elements for learners, and the differences between these strategies according to the level of achievement, the academic year, the type of college and gender in a sample of undergraduate students. The study adopted a…

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to explore how and to what extent the Blended Learning Classroom (BLC) model enhances students' learning experience. The creation of the BLC model was to provide different learning approaches to overcome the challenges in the new normal regarding how we could manage the Thailand Lesson Study Incorporated…

The aim of this investigation is to identify different profiles of undergraduates based on online homework management strategies: arranging the environment, managing time, monitoring motivation, cognitive reappraisal, emotion management, and handling distraction. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was applied to investigate online homework management…

In this paper it is investigated if the mental computation strategies in the research literature are enough to satisfactorily categorize the mental computation strategy use by preservice elementary teachers (PETs) in subtraction on two-digit natural numbers. The PETs' use of mental computation strategies is measured operationally with a written…
