Conducting a survey research on demotivating factors in business English majors can enrich the theoretical research findings on demotivation and meanwhile help to explore effective methods to enhance the students' learning motivation. This study explores the construct of demotivating factors in business English majors in a Chinese university, the…

In this paper we present a novel adaptation of a tri-phase assessment tool, originally devised to investigate students' linear equations-related strategy flexibility, to evaluate Danish grade-six students' multidigit arithmetic-related strategy adaptivity and flexibility. Participants, 731 students, median age 12 years and drawn from 20…

Online learning is one of the learning designs considered more efficient in terms of time, as it can be done anywhere and anytime. This study investigates two factors that may influence mathematics achievement in the context of online learning: self-regulated learning and self-efficacy. The researcher aimed to explain the relationships between…

Effective feedback improves grades, quality of work, and student perceptions regarding the quality of the feedback they receive. Recent feedback scholarship indicates that despite students' appreciation of quality feedback, they seldom use it. A shift in focus toward feedback engagement has resulted in several narrative reviews on the topic, each…

Although some studies have examined the effects of self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies on learning effectiveness, inconsistent results have been reported. Additionally, studies that adopt the perspective of SRL to evaluate the effect of metacognitive skills on students' actual learning effectiveness in digital game-based learning (DGBL)…

This study investigates the efficacy of integrating augmented reality (AR)-based gamification with self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies to enhance middle school students' academic performance, engagement, satisfaction, and self-efficacy in science education. Employing immersive AR technologies alongside gamification elements, this approach is…

The selection and application of learning strategies for college students is a hot topic in the field of education. However, there is no consensus on a universal learning strategy for most learners. The methods for discovering such a strategy are also unclear. This lack of agreement is largely due to the absence of unified measurement criteria and…

Despite its importance, research on the dynamic nature of student engagement and its relationship with academic success is limited. In this study, we investigate the consistency of student engagement and its relationship to academic achievement. We conduct an analysis of digital trace data on students' interaction with webinars. Specifically, we…

The structural approach of cultural capital theories neglects the idea that the impact of structural constraints on educational results can be reduced by agency. This predicament can be solved when the advantages of abundant educational resources available in schools are unpacked, since doing so can compensate for the paucity of such resources…

Feedback guidance is a common approach to influencing strategy choice, primarily aimed at correcting students' false metacognitive beliefs and promoting behavioral change. However, interventions that focus solely on cognitive perspectives may result in a gap between "knowing" and "doing," where students understand the guidance…

Statistics for psychology is a challenging aspect of undergraduate psychology courses but poorly understood in experiential terms. Accordingly, we drew on Brookfield's 'four lenses for critical reflection' to acquire insights from first year psychology undergraduate free text survey responses (learner lens), and psychology educator survey free…

While decades of research from cognitive psychology provided insight into effective learning strategies for long-term learning, there is a discrepancy between what research recommends and what students do. We investigated first-year engineering students' knowledge and use of learning strategies, and how they experience and adapt to learning…

Advances in information and communication technologies (ICT) coupled with artificial intelligence have made computer programming skills indispensable for IT majors and for an increasing number of other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Like any hands-on skill, mastering computer programming requires dedicated…

It is well-established that being a self-regulated learner is beneficial academically, motivationally and is considered essential for productive life-long learning. Despite this, there is limited evidence examining how different measures of self-regulation for learning (SRL) relate to task performance for young students learning in digital…

Self-regulated learning is an essential skill that can help students plan, monitor, and reflect on their learning in order to achieve their learning goals. However, in situations where there is a lack of effective feedback and recommendations, it becomes challenging for students to self-regulate their learning. In this paper, we propose an…
