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…

Peer reviewedConrad Borchers; Jeroen Ooge; Cindy Peng; Vincent Aleven – Grantee Submission, 2025
Personalized problem selection enhances student practice in tutoring systems. Prior research has focused on transparent problem selection that supports learner control but rarely engages learners in selecting practice materials. We explored how different levels of control (i.e., full AI control, shared control, and full learner control), combined…

Johannes Jud; Carmen Nadja Hirt; Tabea Daria Eberli; Amina Rosenthal; Yves Karlen – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2025
Teachers' self-efficacy in promoting self-regulated learning (TSE-SRL) is pivotal for self-regulated learning (SRL) practices. This study investigated the effects of mastery and vicarious experiences as sources of self-efficacy within a professional development (PD) program on TSE-SRL. Additionally, the moderating role of teachers' prior SRL…

Froehle, Kamryn; Dickman, Logan; Phillips, Adam R.; Murzi, Homero; Paretti, Marie – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2022
Civil engineering is rapidly evolving as research discoveries, technological evolution, and changing regulations alter the state of practice. To adapt to the advancement of the field, engineers must have the ability to be lifelong learners. While a number of studies have focused on developing lifelong learning skills among undergraduates, far…

Marra, Rose M.; Hacker, Douglas J.; Plumb, Carolyn – Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
Background: Developing self-directed learning (SDL) skills in engineering students is critical to support life-long learning. This research was conducted at Iron Range Engineering (IRE), an innovative, problem-based learning (PBL) engineering program, which has suffused the concept of metacognition throughout its curriculum. Purpose/Hypotheses:…

Li, Huiyong; Majumdar, Rwitajit; Chen, Mei-Rong Alice; Yang, Yuanyuan; Ogata, Hiroaki – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Self-directed learning (SDL) ability, its usefulness in higher education and life-long learning have been highlighted in previous literature. However, there has been much less understanding of the effects of SDL ability in the school settings, specifically the effects on learners' SDL behaviors and processes. To address this limitation, this study…

Chen, Ken-Zen – Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, 2020
College learning in Asian countries has been highly structured and mandated. For example, students are asked to complete a series of required courses, attend weekly face-to-face lectures, and take summative midterms and finals. However, traditional practices are unlikely to prepare self-directed learners to meet future challenges. Partly supported…

O'Connor, Emily; Roy, Kevin; O'Hagan, Fergal; Brown, Elizabeth Campbell; Richard, Gisèle; Walsh, Ellyssa; Flynn, Alison – Canadian Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2023
We developed and launched an online, course-integrated module called Growth & Goals aimed to help students better develop evidence-based learning skills. The module focuses on five main concepts: self-regulated learning, goal-setting, metacognition, mindfulness, and mindsets (growth and fixed continuum). Growth & Goals is an open education…

When asked about the impact of language advising sessions that our students attend, they report various positive effects. These sessions are a crucial part of the English Autonomously course at Masaryk University. As they were introduced to support students in their self-regulated learning, they should primarily foster course attendees' abilities…
