Self-regulated learning (SRL) is a prerequisite for successful learning. However, studies have reported that many students struggle with self-regulation in online learning, indicating the need to provide students with additional support for SRL. This study adopted a design-based research methodology to iteratively design, implement, and evaluate…

The present study tested the relationship between digital literacy skills and autonomous learning strategies in high school students in southern Sonora to see their impact on the training processes implied by the digital age. A quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional study of correlational scope was conducted with 365 secondary school…

Background: A key skill for self-regulated learners is the ability to critically interpret and act on feedback--key components of feedback literacy. Yet, the connection between feedback literacy and self-regulated learning (SRL) remains underexplored, particularly in terms of how different levels of feedback literacy influence SRL processes in…

This study analyzes the influence of self-efficacy, learning attitude, and learning independence on students' metacognitive awareness and skills. The research employs a non-experimental quantitative design through a cross-sectional survey involving 340 Indonesian high school students. The findings, based on Structural Equation Modeling analysis,…

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of interactive Mixed Reality (MR) learning and compare it to traditional methods for independently learning inner ear anatomy through two experiments. The evaluation was conducted using HoloInnerEar, our new interactive MR tool for inner ear anatomy learning. In the first controlled…

Self-directed learning and self-efficacy have been well studied in education, but are lacking in the field of sports. Therefore, this cross-sectional study examined the association between self-directed learning attitudes, academic self-efficacy, and athlete satisfaction in collegiate athletes. Participants were 184 collegiate athletes, and data…

App-based language learning has gained attention for its potential to promote L2 learning beyond the classroom. However, few learners use L2 learning apps long enough to fully benefit from this learning method. Using the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology, I explored the acceptance and use of a commercially available language…

Self-direction has become an important skill in the 21st century. To cultivate learners with a high level of self-direction, it is necessary to diagnose their self-directed learning (SDL) ability. This study diagnosed and predicted learners' SDL ability based on their actual SDL behaviours. The study was performed in a self-directed 3D design…

This quantitative study investigated the perceptions and experiences of K-12 teachers utilizing social media platforms for self-directed professional development. Through a survey administered to 111 public elementary school teachers in Mississippi, data was collected to analyze various factors influencing teachers' engagement with social media…

Effective cognitive learning strategies are beneficial for learning and long-term retention. However, higher education students often rely on surface-level strategies like reading and underlining. Interventions to support effective cognitive strategy use have addressed knowledge, beliefs, planning, and commitment. This latter aspect and its…

The literature on cognitive processing and strategic processing is murky with regard to how these types of processing influence learning. One reason for this is that the frameworks used to investigate these relations have separately focused on different aspects related to cognitive processing with little integration between them. To address these…

Along with the increased interest in theory and research concerning moral agency and moral disengagement, there has been heightened attention to the significant role of self-regulated learning in developing self-directed, proactive, and skilled learners. Nevertheless, these 2 psychosocial mechanisms have not been fully integrated to explain…

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed a high level of scientific illiteracy and mistrust that pervades the scientific and medical communities. This finding has proven the necessity of updating current methods used to expose undergraduates to research. The research in traditional course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) is limited by…

This study reviewed applied research literature testing the efficacy of using instructional strategies to develop college students' self-directed learning skills. Researchers conducted a systematic database review of recent empirical studies from 2011 through 2021 and synthesized findings from four recent literature reviews into for two types of…

Supervised agricultural experiences (SAE) have been a core tenet of school-based agricultural education. Despite this, limited evidence has existed regarding the best practices associated with facilitating quality student learning for SAEs at the middle school level. In response, we used self-regulated learning as a lens to examine this…
