Differential negative reinforcement of alternative behavior is a technique in which students can escape a portion of a task they perceive to be unpleasant by reaching a predetermined criterion. In this article, we define the negative reinforcement trap and review research on differential negative reinforcement of alternative behavior. We then…

The importance of self-directed language learning is well documented. Yet whether and how teachers in K-12 contexts can facilitate self-directed language learning, particularly during the pandemic, remains underexplored. Informed by a sociocultural conceptualization of self-directed language learning as socially mediated action, this study…

Skull anatomy is a difficult region for anatomy students to learn and understand but is necessary for a variety of health professional students. To improve learning, a 3D-printed human skull was developed, produced, and distributed to a course of 83 dental students for use as a take-home study tool over the 10-week anatomy course. The 70% scale…

Pair programming is a technique in which two students collaborate on programming tasks. This study aimed to investigate attitudes, toward pair programming with a focus on anxiety, motivation, stress, and efficiency. The sample population consisted of 168 students from three primary schools in Vojvodina (Serbia). The students were aged 6.5-11 years…

It is known that teachers commonly utilize learning platforms equipped with Learning Analytics Dashboards (LAD) to support students in their Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) endeavors. However, students may struggle to effectively employ LAD due to a lack of sufficient metacognitive skills. Co-regulation of learning (CoRL) has been proven to…

Students learn not only directly from their teachers and books, but also by using their computers, tablets, and phones. Monitoring these learning environments creates new opportunities for teachers to track students' progress. In particular, this article is based on gathering real-time events as students interact with learning tools and materials…
