Knowledge tracing (KT) aims to trace students' evolving knowledge states based on their learning sequences. Recently, some deep learning based models have been proposed to incorporate the historical information of individuals to trace students' knowledge states and achieve encouraging progress. However, these works ignore the collaborative…

Competitions outside the medical curriculum provide a platform for medical students to acquire advanced knowledge in specific medical subjects. The Indonesian Medical Physiology Olympiad (IMPhO) is the first and the largest competition in the field of physiology at the national level in Indonesia. It was held for the first time in 2017 and has…

Distinguishing easily confusable categories requires learners to detect their predictive differences. Interleaved sequences -- switching between categories -- help learners to detect such differences. Nonetheless, learners prefer to block -- switching within a category -- to detect commonalities. Across two 2 × 2-factorial experiments, we…

The aim of this study was to explore how pre- and in-service teachers (N = 346) evaluate different learning strategies for six scenarios, and how they justify their answers. Results showed that teachers mostly evaluate strategies found to be effective in previous empirical studies as more effective and they can provide proper scientific…

The ubiquity of formal education in modern nations is often accompanied by an assumption that students' motivation for learning is innate and self-sustaining. The latter is true for most children in domains (e.g., language) that are universal and have a deep evolutionary history, but this does not extend to learning in evolutionarily novel domains…

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…

For successful learning, students need to evaluate their learning status relative to their learning goals and regulate their study in response to such monitoring. The present study investigated whether making metacognitive judgments on previously studied text would enhance the learning of that studied (backward effect) and newly studied text…

Since mathematics scores have not improved appreciably in the last 20 years, a need exists to improve fraction instruction for preservice teachers (PSTs), so future elementary students are more successful with fractions (NCES, 2019). Unfortunately, it appears that many future teachers have not mastered fractions to the point they can teach…

This practice report discusses the term "bricolage" and its relationship to student learning. The positive and negative perceptions of teachers and students as "bricoleurs" (those who practice bricolage) are discussed. An exploratory study that examines the application of bricolage in the classroom is discussed. In two…

Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) is widely acknowledged as essential for educational achievement and fostering continuous learning skills (Taranto & Buchanan, 2020). As a result, there has been a marked escalation in embedding SRL criteria within academic curriculums, including primary education (De Smul et al., 2020; Heirweg et al., 2021).…

Metacognitive skills are often considered domain-general, therefore they have the potential to transfer across domains, subjects, and tasks. However, transfer of metacognitive skills seldomly occurs spontaneously. Schuster et al., (2020) showed that training can have beneficial effects on spontaneous near and far transfer of metacognitive skills.…

This study examined how teachers support self-regulated learning (SRL) by examining reports of 15 potential practices and differentiated the use of these practices via teachers' SRL knowledge, beliefs, demographics, and student characteristics. Teachers (n = 112) responded to open-ended questions targeting SRL knowledge, beliefs, and practices and…

This study examined how students utilized metacognition while solving physics problems. A case study design was implemented, involving 30 11th-grade students. Data were collected by using open-ended physics problems, with a think-aloud strategy applied during the process. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted using the…

In the past two decades, deaths from stroke, heart disease and HIV decreased, whereas reported deaths from age-related Alzheimer's disease (AD) have increased. Future nurses will be caring for the rapidly escalating number of older adults facing increased AD risk, yet nursing students' knowledge has been shown to be limited regarding the…

In order to characterize students' risk assessment explanations based on the Geohazard Risk Framework, which describes four key elements of risk for high school science education, we investigate whether student explanations include the following risk elements: scientific factors, impacts, human influences, and likelihood. This study uses the…
