Research on the relationship between learning approaches and variables such as the perceived impact of some university activities is limited. The present study proposes a reduced Student Process Questionnaire (SPQ) to relate learning approaches to high-impact educational practices (HIEPs). The sample consisted of 893 first and final-year…

This paper focuses on individual responses to education in crisis, with the strategies of students contextualised and examined within a wider multi-crisis reality. Offering a conceptual framework of social solvation, the proposed model explains how failures in the education system at the macro (state) and meso (institutional) levels translate into…

Responsible research practices are critical to maintaining integrity in research and the provision of institutional trainings is an important means of promoting research integrity. However, studies show contrasting results on the efficacy of institutional training and that these approaches may not be fully effective in promoting research integrity…

Complex dynamic systems offer a rich platform for understanding the individual or the person-specific mechanisms. Yet, in learning analytics research and education at large, a complex dynamic system has rarely been framed, developed, or used to understand the individual student where the learning process takes place. Individual (or…

The purpose of this paper is to present an integrated theoretical model of socially shared regulation of learning (SSRL), which is an elaboration of Efklides' Motivation and Affect in Self-Regulated Learning model that situates metacognition, affect, and motivation at the socially shared level. Building from existing theoretical and empirical…

Most universities are facing a crisis of student wellbeing and high failure rates. Using the Conservation of Resources theory, we hypothesised that both study resources and personal resources (academic self-efficacy) could enhance task performance and improve wellbeing among university students. We conducted a cross-sectional study on 431…

Background: Visual representations are pervasive in electrical engineering instruction in various instructional settings. Further, electrical engineering instruction often requires students to extend simple visual representations to learn about more complex visualization in subsequent instruction. Yet, students often struggle to understand…

The evolving landscape of higher education requires a better understanding of students' cognitive strengths, especially in complex disciplines such as Economics where multiple approaches to problem solving are essential. This study explored students' multiple intelligences (MI) approach to learning Economics and examined gender differences in the…

Self-regulated learning is among the most important factors affecting learning outcomes in the digital age. Visualization feedback is widely used to support students' self-regulated learning. However, low motivation often leads to insufficient self-regulated learning engagement. Therefore, based on achievement goal theory, this study developed…

Effective mathematics teaching practices include not only probing student thinking and selecting student strategies to share but also facilitating discourse and encouraging reflection about important mathematical ideas (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics [NCTM], 2014, pp. 36-37). Encouraging students to use precise academic vocabulary to…

Not all students in early grades develop efficient strategies for solving subtraction tasks. In this paper, we examine subtraction teaching in the 1--20 number range. We analyzed two first-grade lessons addressing similar subtraction tasks, using variation theory to identify what aspects of the content were foregrounded in the teaching. The…

With the rise of wearable technologies, mobile devices and artificial intelligence comes a growing pressure to understand downstream effects of cognitive offloading on children's future thinking and behavior. Here, we explored whether compelling children to use an indiscriminate cognitive offloading strategy affects their subsequent strategy…

Societal shifts increasingly demand that people work across social and geographic borders, often virtually, to solve complex problems in the areas of education, environment, healthcare, poverty, technology innovation and ethics, and more. This collaboration requires critical and emancipatory dialogue and problem-solving. This qualitative multiple…

Learning styles and learning strategies are the ways participants take in, process, and apply information. Everyone has unique learning styles and learning strategies. The problem that was addressed through this study was that academic achievement could be negatively impacted when community college participants were unaware of their learning…

Abundant laboratory and classroom research demonstrate the superior effectiveness of effortful learning strategies based on cognitive science over re-reading, highlighting, and other strategies more widely used by college students. However, persuading students to adopt and adhere to effective strategies is difficult. This article outlines a novel,…
