We collected data from 483 undergraduate students in South Korea who…

This study investigates the mediating mechanisms that play a crucial role in the relationship between fear of failure and academic satisfaction and between fear of failure and procrastination. The study sample consists of 292 undergraduate students enrolled in different departments of the university. Within the scope of this study, emotion…

This meta-analysis explores the effect of using scoring rubrics on self-efficacy and self-regulation in K-16 formal learning settings and its potential moderators. From the literature, we identified 14 relevant experimental or quasi-experimental primary studies conducted with a total of 2793 students. We retrieved 17 effect sizes for self-efficacy…

In the study reported on here we used a qualitative case study design to examine the self-control and self-monitoring behaviour of gifted learners in problem-solving processes. We selected 3 gifted secondary learners using the purposeful sampling method. For the study, each learner completed 10 individual problem-solving sessions. A think-aloud…

Background: Learners in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are presented with great autonomy over their learning process. Learners must engage in self-regulated learning (SRL) to handle this autonomy. It is assumed that learners' SRL, through monitoring and control, influences learners' behaviour within the MOOC environment (e.g., watching…

The present study examined associations between sociocultural factors and self-regulation (parent-report, teacher-report, laboratory tasks), and prospective relations between self-regulation and behavioral adjustment (parent-, teacher-, child-report) in a socioeconomically diverse sample of Chinese American children in immigrant families (N = 258,…

Current approaches used by educational institutions to address the problem of student cheating are not working. This is because the discourse of academic integrity that currently dominates is, on its own, inadequate for addressing the problem. We propose that in order for higher education institutions to challenge cheating effectively, they need…

The negative effects of media multitasking have been addressed in previous studies, and the widespread adoption of online learning to control the outbreak of COVID-19 has further increased concerns about the media use, especially media multitasking, among adolescent students. However, very few studies have explored the protective factors against…

Aim/Purpose: This research aims to empirically investigate and answer the following research questions: Do students' self-control and smartphone e-learning readiness influence smartphone-cyberloafing, and does gender play a role in this relationship? Background: Research indicates that many students' learning time is wasted due to cyberloafing,…

Hundreds of schools across North America are embracing Larry Thompson's Responsibility-Centered Discipline (RCD) -- a groundbreaking approach that supports students in developing intrinsic motivation and growing as conscientious and active members of their school communities.

Objective: College students with disordered eating (DE) are at increased risk of body focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs). Both DE and BFRBs are described as impulsive and compulsive. However, the associations of impulsive DE with impulsive BFRBs and compulsive DE with compulsive BFRBs have not been examined. Methods: 191 college-aged students…

Students with specific learning disabilities (SLDs) sometimes experience anger, which can negatively affect their academic performance and social relationships if not managed properly. Prevention and intervention programs are beneficial in addressing this issue. Bibliotherapy is an effective method for anger management and is categorized into…

The study examined the predictive ability of self-control of academic self-handicapping among university students. The sample of the study consists of (130) students from a public university, selected randomly. To achieve the study objectives, a survey was employed to collect data. It included a self-control scale and an academic self-handicapping…

It is well understood that when students are experiencing hunger, their ability to learn suffers. What is less understood is why this is the case and the role of the learning environment. Using Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2019 data, this brief examines how student hunger is correlated with how disorderly the…
