Self-regulated learning (SRL) has been the focus of medical education, with the belief that mastering effective SRL strategies can significantly contribute to the academic achievements of medical students, thereby establishing a robust foundation for their future clinical practice. Despite the importance of SRL, empirical evidence linking SRL to…

Learning styles and learning strategies are the ways participants take in, process, and apply information. Everyone has unique learning styles and learning strategies. The problem that was addressed through this study was that academic achievement could be negatively impacted when community college participants were unaware of their learning…

Background: Given students' lack of self-directed learning skills and the growing concern about implementing massive online open courses (MOOCs) in K12 education, learning strategies are needed to facilitate MOOC learning. Many studies have provided different strategies for effective learning in MOOCs. However, there is still limited research to…

This quantitative study seeks to explore intrinsic motivation amongst students in post-secondary education. The sample includes 55 undergraduate students currently enrolled in a college of education teaching methods course. The researchers sought to explore the correlation between intrinsic motivation and key variables such as academic…

Extensive research has highlighted the significant impact of students' approaches to learning and self-efficacy on academic achievement. It has been suggested that deep learning approaches, high self-efficacy, and strong academic performance are crucial for developing undergraduates' intentions to engage in sustainable lifelong learning after…

Studying in digital learning environments highlights the skills needed to regulate one's own learning. In youth, students are acquiring and developing these skills, but for many students, effectively self-regulating their learning is challenging. To design support in this regard, an in depth understanding of how and why their self-regulated…

This study classified profiles of homework approaches involving eighth graders in China, regarding the likely combinations of surface and deep approaches to homework. Latent profile analysis (LPA) identified five distinct homework approach profiles: "High Deep/Low Surface", "Low Deep/Low Surface", "Moderate Deep/Moderate…

Spatial ability is an influential factor for academic performance in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education. However, the roles of spatial strategies are unclear. Therefore, coupling with virtual Starmaze developed by fields of cognitive neuroscience, this study aimed to explore spatial strategy among STEM students and…

A person-oriented approach was applied to the study of early adolescents' learning orientations to identify different profiles and their association with school achievement. A total of 244 middle-school students (male: 128; female: 116; M-age ± SD = 12.51 ± 0.93) completed a self-report questionnaire to explore cognitive, metacognitive, and…

Research on academic performance in online education proliferated in the last decade; however, our current understanding of the relationship between self-regulated learning and academic performance in online learning environments remains scattered. This meta-analysis provides a holistic view of the relationship between learners' use of…

Learners' attempts to regulate their own motivation for studying in the face of tedious or difficult tasks is an important aspect of self-regulated learning. Therefore, motivation regulation has received increasing attention over the past few years, resulting in numerous publications using different definitions of the construct, samples,…

The present study explores the impact of different levels of competition involved in gamified learning on adult e-learners' intrinsic motivation, learning engagement, and language learning performance. One hundred and twenty participants were evenly and randomly assigned to two groups. A gamified learning procedure with a higher level of…

This study elucidates how information processing and self-questioning strategies are used in the context of online flipped teaching. A 6-week quasi experimental study was conducted to investigate online flipped teaching with the goal of exploring the impacts of two learning strategies, that is, annotation-summarizing-questioning (ASQ) and concept…

Artificial intelligence (AI) applications, including machine learning (ML), have received attention in education, and generative AI-powered chatbots have been adopted in diverse educational settings worldwide. However, the actual use of and perception regarding generative AI chatbots by learners have been under-investigated. To better prepare for…

Photosynthesis is a crucial topic in life sciences and is intimately connected to human life. In this study, photosynthesis served as the context to examine the effects of 6E-based STEM learning strategies on tenth-grade students' academic achievement, higher-order thinking skills, and attitudes towards STEM. Throughout the intervention of six…
