Dever, Daryn A.; Sonnenfeld, Nathan A.; Wiedbusch, Megan D.; Schmorrow, S. Grace; Amon, Mary Jean; Azevedo, Roger – Metacognition and Learning, 2023
Self-regulated learning (SRL), learners' monitoring and control of cognitive, affective, metacognitive, and motivational processes, is essential for learning. However, cognitive and metacognitive SRL strategies are not typically used accurately leading to poor learning outcomes. Intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) attempt to address this issue by…

Tekin, Eylul – Educational Psychology Review, 2022
The existing literature on study time allocation has primarily focused on how people regulate their study time allocation across different items and conditions. However, these studies rarely investigated how self-regulated study time allocation affects later retention. In this review, the effectiveness of self-regulated study time allocation on…

Dart, Sarah; Lim, James B. P. – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2023
Engineering educators naturally gravitate toward visual means for communicating concepts that would otherwise be extremely difficult to convey using words and numbers alone. With the emergence of three-dimensional (3D) printing as an accessible and cost-effective technology, it is now possible to develop customized models that enable students to…
