Procrastination is a common source of academic struggles among college students. Prior research suggests that procrastination tendencies are amenable to change, but the mechanisms behind successful interventions are not fully understood. In a small-scale intervention study, college students who self-identified as procrastinators maintained…

Although it is frequently claimed that learning analytics can improve self-evaluation and self-regulated learning by students, most learning analytics tools appear to have been developed as a response to existing data rather than with a clear pedagogical model. As a result there is little evidence of impact on learning. Even fewer learning…

Achievement goals are motivational antecedents which play an important role in students' self-regulated learning (SRL). Achievement goals are also found to have an influence on students' learning outcomes. However, how achievement goals and SRL jointly affect learning performance is still an underexplored area of research, especially in…

Hydrothermal synthesis and characterization of titanosilicate ETS-10 was used as a means to prepare students for a research-focused independent term project as part of a 200-level descriptive inorganic chemistry course. Students spent the first 7 weeks of the course learning synthesis and characterization techniques that are common for metal oxide…

This article aims to serve as a gentle reminder to all of us--English teachers--that there are other multifaceted factors that contribute to our learners' achievements besides curriculum and instruction. There are other significant facts and observations that should be noted and considered beyond those dictated in the Quality Assurance…

There is a strong national movement to improve the quality in child care programs nationwide and an important part of this movement includes professional preparation standards. Stakeholders in New York State (NYS) have developed the NYS Children's Program Administrator Credential (CPAC), designed to meet the need for increased knowledge in child…

In student-regulated instruction, guiding one's study effectively and efficiently is crucial for successful learning. Yet, significant variability exists in how effectively learners regulate their own study. Here, we explored whether and how beliefs about the nature of intelligence affect learners' metacognitive control and ultimately the efficacy…

Online education has made it possible to implement the "classes suspended but learning continues" policy during the COVID-19 outbreak. However, the intangible sense of the online educational setting requires self-directed learning (SDL) and may force students to know the goals of learning that may impact their engagement. To understand…

The online learning practice has already demonstrated that the quality of interaction and motivation in collaborative learning is not as good as expected, due to the loneliness and burnout feeling spawned by inadequate learning status information about others. This study proposed a model on group awareness to feedback information of group learning…

This study applies a time-driven approach to model self-regulated learning (SRL) on the basis of elapsed time metrics in the context of open-ended learning environments (OELEs), specifically, network-based tutors. In doing so, we examine how students allocated attentional resources to distinct phases of SRL as a measure of depth of information…

Twenty-first century graduates need to have the aptitude to be critical thinkers and capacity to make balanced judgements. The undergraduate dissertation (capstone/independent research project) is normally undertaken at the end of the degree programme enabling students to demonstrate their ability to apply, analysis, synthesis and evaluate their…

Research on acceptance of online self-learning is regularly based on the technology acceptance model (TAM), but less has been discussed on older adults. This article expands TAM by taking living arrangements and gender as moderators after the pandemic. Utilizing a structural equation model based on the partial least squares technique to examine…

The effects of teaching speaking skills through the Flipped Classroom Model on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students' autonomy, willingness to communicate, and anxiety while speaking English are examined in this study. With a quasi-experimental design, one control group (n = 27) and one experimental group (n = 28) were created for the…

Facilitating undergraduates' self-regulated learning (SRL) is the key to successful online learning, and teachers' various feedback plays an important role. Through an investigation on Chinese university students' online learning experience, the study found students' SRL strategies differences in terms of students' gender, grades and achievement…

This study implemented a blended learning mode with the aid of artificial intelligence teaching platform in the English language course. In this study, 110 students majoring in computer network were randomly selected as subjects, 55 of whom was the experimental group, the rest of 55 was the control group. Before the experiment, this study carried…
