Haiyang Xing; Yu Zhang – International Journal of Web-Based Learning and Teaching Technologies, 2025
This paper investigates a flipped classroom teaching model that integrates deep learning into the design of college physical education instruction. By adjusting the time schedule inside and outside the classroom, the model shifts the focus of teaching to students, and the teacher's role changes from knowledge transmitter to learning guide. The…

Zachariah Bobby; V. Devanatha Desikan; Z. Zayapragassarazan – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2025
Concept mapping is an active learning strategy promoting self-directed learning. The intellectual involvement in the preparation of concept mapping is a learning process. We tested the utility of concept mapping in improving self-directed learning among medical graduate students in Biochemistry. The study was conducted among first-year…

André Moura; Ann MacPhail; Amândio Graça; Paula Batista – Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, 2024
Purpose: Improving students' learning is dependent on students' participation, meaningfulness, and value of the teaching--learning process. This study explores students' learning experiences when undertaking the role of co-constructors and co- and self-regulators in a cooperative learning environment. Methods: The study included 110 school…

Min Young Doo; Meina Zhu – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Online learning has become more prevalent over the past three decades, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Educators and scholars have increasingly emphasized the significance of self-directed learning (SDL) on successful learning outcomes in online learning environments. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to synthesize the…

Arsad Bahri; Wahyu Hidayat M.; Kurnia Prima Putra; Nur Aisyah Ainun; Nurheni Arifin – Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2024
This study aims to determine the relationship between students' perception to the learning media, digital literacy skills, and self-regulated learning with students' cognitive learning outcomes in the rural area. This study was the ex post facto with quantitative data. The method used was differential causal comparative with multiple linear…

Imogen Casebourne – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
This study investigated the seamless mobile learning practices of UK government workers at various life stages, to understand how context impacted decisions about how, when and where learning was undertaken. Following Hedegaard, the context was understood as involving settings embedded within institutions. Drawing on analysis of data from public…

Héctor J. Pijeira-Díaz; Sophia Braumann; Janneke van de Pol; Tamara van Gog; Anique B. H. Bruin – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
Advances in computational language models increasingly enable adaptive support for self-regulated learning (SRL) in digital learning environments (DLEs; eg, via automated feedback). However, the accuracy of those models is a common concern for educational stakeholders (eg, policymakers, researchers, teachers and learners themselves). We compared…

Melissa T. A. Simarmata; Gwo-Guang Lee; Hoky Ajicahyadi; Kung-Jeng Wang – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Teaching computer programming language remotely presents particular difficulties due to its requirement for abstract and logical thinking. There is a dearth of research specifically examining the potential factors that determine student performance when distance self-learning is conducted for programming language education. This study aims to…

Laurie C. Faith; Valerie Prowse – Teacher Development, 2024
Self-regulated learning (SRL) is a fundamental skill for school and life. Much is known about how to effectively teach and support it in a classroom, though teachers often retreat to more structured, external learning regulation. Experts have identified the important role of pedagogical knowledge and personal self-regulated learning in helping…

Saleh Alhazbi; Afnan Al-ali; Aliya Tabassum; Abdulla Al-Ali; Ahmed Al-Emadi; Tamer Khattab; Mahmood A. Hasan – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Measuring students' self-regulation skills is essential to understand how they approach their learning tasks in order to identify areas where they might need additional support. Traditionally, self-report questionnaires and think aloud protocols have been used to measure self-regulated learning skills (SRL). However, these methods are…

Serap Kaynak; Sibel Ergün – American Journal of Distance Education, 2024
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of video-based laboratory practice activities in distance education on nursing students' self-efficacy and self-learning. A randomized controlled trial of intervention and control groups with pretest, posttest study. The study sample consisted of 118 nursing students registered to the online…

Currie-Knight, Kevin – International Journal of Self-Directed Learning, 2023
What roles should the teacher play in a classroom reliant on self-directed learning (SDL)? When teachers give students the freedom and responsibility to take charge of their own learning, teachers obviously lose any role that directs student learning, such as telling the student what to work on, dictating the materials to be used, transmitting…

Mary Maestas – ProQuest LLC, 2023
To develop a new understanding of how self-directed professional learning (SDPL) contributes to the professional growth of school librarians, a case study design using humanistic learning theory (Maslow, 1954; C. Rogers, 1983) and based on theoretical assumptions about adult learners (Knowles, 1968, 1975, 1980), the intentional self-directed…

Brand, Charleen; Hartmann, Christian; Loibl, Katharina; Rummel, Nikol – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
Productive Failure (PF) is an instructional design that implements a problem-solving phase which aims at preparing students for learning from a subsequent instruction. PF has been shown to facilitate students' conceptual knowledge acquisition in the mathematical domain. Collaboration has been described as a vital design component of PF, but…

Brittany V. Mitchelson – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Behavioral skills training (BST) (Parsons et al., 2012) is a common intervention for training staff and caregivers to engage in various important behaviors. However, BST is labor intensive, costly, and often requires extensive involvement from a supervisor or experienced trainer (DiGennaro Reed & Henley, 2015), which may not always be…
