Student feedback literacy is emphasised in recent literature as a critical attribute of university graduates. Although the impacts of epistemic beliefs on specific dimensions of student feedback literacy have been discussed in the literature, there is still a lack of quantitative research to investigate the strength of such impacts. This study…

In the context of physics education, it is imperative that educators prioritize the development of students' problem-solving abilities. Given the interdisciplinary nature of physics and its relevance to everyday life, students must possess robust problem-solving skills. However, conventional and uninspiring learning approaches have been shown to…

Feedback significantly impacts learning outcomes, yet interindividual differences in feedback preferences remain understudied. We postulate and test a fitting feedback framework assuming that feedback framings matching personal preferences produce positive effects. We conducted two learning experiments including feedback representing different…

Teacher-student interaction is critical for providing learners with support and maintaining effective communication during the teaching process. The online teacher-student interaction mode, has posed challenges to the effectiveness of online classes. However, how to conduct effective interaction in online classes to improve learning outcomes…

Objective: Drinking for emotion regulation may be a concern for college students who have experienced childhood maltreatment, due to high levels of shame and guilt. The present cross-sectional survey study tested how trait shame-proneness, trait guilt-proneness, and trauma-related guilt are differently related to drinking motives and how these…

When we implement a grading system that prioritizes completion and compliance and penalizes students who take risks, we "disrupt" the learning journey--not further it. It's time to align how we grade with what we know from research works best and help move learning forward for all students. "Grading Visible Learners" provides…

The Interactive, Constructive, Active, Passive (ICAP) Framework (Chi & Wylie, 2014) is used to review and develop active learning in higher education. It is a hierarchical model based on overt behaviours seen by the teacher in the classroom. This principle is acknowledged as a limitation, especially in the case of online modes of study. In…

Many interventions have been developed by staff to support students in understanding assessment task requirements and summative and formative feedback. However, to various extents, these approaches assume a shared understanding of the, often indeterminate, language used in assessment. This article reports on a project, which aimed to explore…

Background/purpose: Emotion regulation (ER) is a crucial psychological process that enables individuals to manage and respond effectively to emotional experiences. Among university students, difficulties in ER are often linked to increased vulnerability to psychological distress. This study aimed to investigate gender differences in ER and to…

Surveys are widely used data collection tools in empirical studies of human behaviour. Self-reporting plays a central role in exploring various psychological processes that are integral to human behaviour and learning, such as motivations or emotions. However, respondents can sometimes be the source of measurement error in survey research. In this…

This conceptual replication study, building upon Bartholomew (2020), addresses a notable gap in the literature by investigating the potential of using learning by evaluating (LbE) as an interview primer for individual assignments in design coursework. While peer feedback commonly involves both giving and receiving feedback, LbE uniquely focuses on…

Knowledge tracing (KT) models predict how students will perform on future interactions, given a sequence of prior responses. Modern approaches to KT leverage "deep learning" techniques to produce more accurate predictions, potentially making personalized learning paths more efficacious for learners. Many papers on the topic of KT focus…

This study examined achievement goal profiles, differences in anxiety by achievement goal profile, and the mediating roles of emotion regulation strategies in the profile--anxiety relationship among 1,411 Chinese university senior students. The students (M[subscript age] = 22.02) completed the Goal Orientation Scales, Emotion Regulation…

Previous studies have revealed that preservice science teachers (PSTs) require more robust and stimulating opportunities to engage with and reflect on formative assessment (FA) during teacher education. From a sociocultural-asset perspective, 16 PSTs participated in a co-design process with researchers, engaging in an iterative reasoning and…

Dynamic fluctuations in respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) were modelled throughout an emotionally challenging laboratory task, and direct associations between temporal variation in RSA responding and the deployment of specific behavioural emotion regulation (ER) strategies were assessed. Sixty-three 2- to 6-year-old children (47% girls;…
