Suijing Yang; Jason M. Lodge; Cameron Brooks – Metacognition and Learning, 2025
Previous studies have reported the importance of regulation in collaborative learning. To understand and support students' learning, researchers have identified that regulation in collaboration emerges as a series of contingent activities at individual and social levels, addressing various learning foci in cognitive, motivational, emotional, and…

Butcher, Luke; Ferguson, Graham – Journal of Vocational Education and Training, 2023
Vocational education and training (VET) is faced with the challenge of developing 21st century learners for rapidly changing workforces. As the industry is impacted by external market forces, greater digitalisation, and access to learning, learning must evolve. In this research, we propose VET can be enhanced by harnessing self-directed learning…

Amine Boulahmel; Fahima Djelil; Gregory Smits – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2025
Self-regulated learning (SRL) theory comprises cognitive, metacognitive, and affective aspects that enable learners to autonomously manage their learning processes. This article presents a systematic literature review on the measurement of SRL in digital platforms, that compiles the 53 most relevant empirical studies published between 2015 and…

Jihyun Rho; Martina A. Rau; Barry Van Veen – Journal of Engineering Education, 2025
Background: Visual representations are pervasive in electrical engineering instruction in various instructional settings. Further, electrical engineering instruction often requires students to extend simple visual representations to learn about more complex visualization in subsequent instruction. Yet, students often struggle to understand…

Mathias Mejeh; Livia Sarbach; Tina Hascher – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Lifelong learning is emerging as a key priority for promoting equity and sustainability in societies. Self-regulated learning (SRL) is a fundamental requirement for achieving successful lifelong learning, and digitization is increasingly influential in this regard. This mixed-methods study explores the degree to which adaptive learning technology…

Xavier Ochoa; Xiaomeng Huang; Adam Charlton – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2024
Even before the inception of the term "learning analytics," researchers globally had been investigating the use of various feedback systems to support the self-regulation of participation and promote equitable contributions during collaborative learning activities. While some studies indicate positive effects for distinct subgroups of…

Emine Cabi; Hacer Türkoglu – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2025
Recent advancements in educational technology have enabled teachers to use learning analytics (LA) and flipped classrooms. The present study investigated the impact of a LA-based feedback system on students' academic achievement and self-regulated learning (SRL) in a flipped learning (FL) environment. The study used a pretest-posttest control…

Katy Farber; Rachel Mark – Middle Grades Review, 2024
How do service learning and self-directed learning connect and what are the implications for early adolescent students? The authors explore both the service learning and self-directed learning literature and research to discover the connections between the two approaches and concepts. This essay reviews existing frameworks for self-directed…

Saleh Alhazbi; Afnan Al-ali; Aliya Tabassum; Abdulla Al-Ali; Ahmed Al-Emadi; Tamer Khattab; Mahmood A. Hasan – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Measuring students' self-regulation skills is essential to understand how they approach their learning tasks in order to identify areas where they might need additional support. Traditionally, self-report questionnaires and think aloud protocols have been used to measure self-regulated learning skills (SRL). However, these methods are…

Lucinda Powell – Psychology Teaching Review, 2024
Our school career culminates in a set of exam results, but if students want to do well, attending lessons is not enough: the implicit expectation is that all students will reinforce learning independently outside of the classroom. Really effective learners employ effective independent study techniques, but when, how and where do they learn to do…

Meghan M. Parkinson; Seppe Hermans; David Gijbels; Daniel L. Dinsmore – Computer Science Education, 2024
Background and Context: More data are needed about how young learners identify and fix errors while programming in pairs. Objective: The study will identify discernible patterns in the intersection between debugging processes and the type of regulation used during debugging while children engage in coding to drive further theory and model…

Daryn A. Dever; Megan D. Wiedbusch; Sarah M. Romero; Roger Azevedo – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
Intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) incorporate pedagogical agents (PAs) to scaffold learners' self-regulated learning (SRL) via prompts and feedback to promote learners' monitoring and regulation of their cognitive, affective, metacognitive and motivational processes to achieve their (sub)goals. This study examines PAs' effectiveness in…

Heikkinen, Sami; Saqr, Mohammed; Malmberg, Jonna; Tedre, Matti – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
During the past years scholars have shown an increasing interest in supporting students' self-regulated learning (SRL). Learning analytics (LA) can be applied in various ways to identify a learner's current state of self-regulation and support SRL processes. It is important to examine how LA has been used to identify the need for support in…
