This work analyzes whether there is a cognitive bias between the ideal perception of the skills and the real performance in an introductory physics class, and additionally, whether predictions of students' performance are related to various motivational variables. We examined through a validated survey and network analysis the relationship between…

This study evaluated the feasibility and effectiveness of a low-dose mindfulness program with student-athletes (SA) at a sport academy in the USA. First, SAs were introduced to mindfulness in their health class with conceptual lessons and guided meditations from the Headspace 'Guide to Meditation' series. Following each episode, SAs reflected on…

This quantitative study seeks to explore intrinsic motivation amongst students in post-secondary education. The sample includes 55 undergraduate students currently enrolled in a college of education teaching methods course. The researchers sought to explore the correlation between intrinsic motivation and key variables such as academic…

Pre-service student teachers (PSSTs) should improve their metacognition in order to support their long-term development in their future complex teaching and learning lives. Although previous studies have explored the role of metacognition in learners' learning effectiveness, the interrelationships pattern of metacognition elements in the process…

The purpose of this research was to evaluate an instructional change in an academic literacy course that transitioned from traditional print- to digital-based instruction. The learning outcomes of 71 preservice teachers who attended the digitally-modified course were compared to the learning outcomes of 55 students who attended the same course…

Metacognitive awareness is an important condition that affects many important skills such as academic success, critical thinking, creative thinking, and classroom engagement in classes. Classroom engagement is a situation that increases the success of students, who actively participates in the lessons, contributes to the lessons, and contributes…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) and executive functions (EF) are broad concepts stemming from different research areas. They have been defined and modeled in various ways and are repeatedly related to each other in the literature, but so far, no systematic analyses of these relations have been published. Therefore, a systematic analysis of their…

The present research examined the role of metacognitive confidence in understanding to what extent people's valenced thoughts guide their performance in academic settings. First, students were asked to engage in positive or negative thinking about exams in their major area of study (Study 1) or about themselves (Studies 2 and 3). The valence of…

This study explores the mediating role of mindfulness in the relationship between metacognition and academic burnout, a prevalent issue in higher education affecting students' well-being and academic performance. Utilizing a structural equation modeling approach, the study examined the hypothesized pathways grounded on the Self-regulatory…

Learners' attempts to regulate their own motivation for studying in the face of tedious or difficult tasks is an important aspect of self-regulated learning. Therefore, motivation regulation has received increasing attention over the past few years, resulting in numerous publications using different definitions of the construct, samples,…

In the flipped classroom, students engage in preparatory activities to study the course materials prior to attending teacher-guided sessions. Students' success in the flipped classroom is directly related to their preparation and students tend to change their preparation activity over time. Few studies have investigated why students change their…

Research on academic performance in online education proliferated in the last decade; however, our current understanding of the relationship between self-regulated learning and academic performance in online learning environments remains scattered. This meta-analysis provides a holistic view of the relationship between learners' use of…

Recent advancements in educational technology have enabled teachers to use learning analytics (LA) and flipped classrooms. The present study investigated the impact of a LA-based feedback system on students' academic achievement and self-regulated learning (SRL) in a flipped learning (FL) environment. The study used a pretest-posttest control…

In the context of instructional design and self-regulated learning research, the notion of mental effort allocation, monitoring, and control has gained increasing attention. Bringing together a cognitive perspective, focusing on Cognitive Load Theory, and a motivational perspective, merging central accounts from Situated Expectancy Value Theory…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is the process of utilizing effective strategies to acquire knowledge or skills and is influenced by motivation, metacognitive processing, and study-related behaviors. We hypothesized that by using survey tools that allow reflection on and refinement of students' study strategies, we could nurture metacognitive skill…
