Background: Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) plays a crucial role in student success, particularly in blended learning (BL) environments where learners must take greater ownership of their educational journey. Whilst prior research has extensively examined SRL, there remains a gap in understanding how students' SRL profiles evolve over time and how…

Choir singing is increasingly recognised for its potential health and wellbeing benefits, with amateur adult community choirs offering accessible opportunities for participation. However, a lack of member diversity highlights the need to identify facilitators and barriers to address equitable access. To do this, we conducted a scoping review of…

The development of the higher education system definitely involves the development of the values and meanings of an individual. Academic mobility programmes are the means of achieving this, which enable all participants of the educational process to learn the experience of other educational institutions and countries. Identify the value…

Using field-experimental data (study-time tracking and randomized incentives), we identify a structural model of learning. Student effort is influenced by external costs/benefits and unobserved heterogeneity: motivation (willingness to study) and productivity (conversion rate of time into skill). We estimate academic labor-supply elasticities and…

This study investigates the impact of implementing guided experiments in basic electronics practicum simulation on student engagement and motivation, with particular attention to the role of self-regulation. While guided experiments have been extensively utilized in laboratory learning, prior research has predominantly concentrated on academic…

Health professional education is rooted in patient interaction. The utilization of the simulated participant method is a widely accepted approach in this regard, as it enables students to engage in experiences that closely resemble real patient interactions. So, the simulated participants need to be well-prepared and well-engaged in the concept of…

Prior research has shown that brief motivation interventions, such as interventions targeting students' perceptions concerning relevance of the learning material, can have long-lasting effects on students' motivation and performance. However, the educational contexts in which these interventions have been implemented have their own motivational…

Student engagement is a key factor in promoting learning and academic achievement. This study explores the factors underlying student engagement and the best practices advocated by students and faculty to engage students. Results revealed that student motivation to learn and self-efficacy are positively associated with student engagement. In…

The study of classroom processes that shape students' motivational beliefs, although fruitful, has suffered from a lack of conceptual clarity in terminology, definitions, distinctions, and roles of these important processes. Synthesizing extant research and major theoretical perspectives on achievement motivation, I propose Motivational Climate…

Background: Teachers' instructional quality is critical to student learning and development. However, the affordance of different aspects of instructional quality remains underexplored. Aims: This study explores the relationship between teachers' personal growth initiative (PGI) and teacher engagement and instructional quality. Sample: The data…

This study delves into the integration of collaborative and active learning methodologies as a means to enhance both academic achievement and self-motivation among students in the realm of vocational education. Collaborative learning, with its emphasis on teamwork, problem-solving, and social responsibility, complements the active learning…

The problem addressed in this study involved the motivations, the experiences of international students, and how these experiences affect the professional practices and personal lives of Venezuelan professional educators in the pursuit of international higher education studies. Although Venezuelan professionals were pursuing international higher…

The current study further explored the relationship between nontraditional students and academic entitlement. Previous research has established that the presence of more nontraditional factors predicts lower levels of reported academic entitlement. The mechanisms responsible for this connection have not been explored though. The current study…

Strength training (ST) or resistance training is important in the development and maintenance of musculoskeletal and cardiovascular health in women of all ages; however, uptake of ST amongst women is low. To improve female musculoskeletal health, it is vital that more women are encouraged to participate in ST to maintain musculoskeletal integrity.…

Motivation, stress, and satisfaction are all key elements in academic success. Academic motivation is linked with positive outcomes, such as low levels of stress, high satisfaction, and mental well-being. Although it is well documented that motivational orientation, stress, and satisfaction are closely related together, very little attention has…
