The relationship between confidence and accuracy has long been an important and controversial topic within the field of human memory. In a recent review article, Schwartz (2024). "Inferential theories of retrospective confidence." Metacognition & Learning.) competently summarized some of the key empirical findings on this issue and…

This article explores Dewey's understanding of the nature of education through three seminal works written over a 32-year period. In "Democracy and Education" (1916) Dewey developed a concept of education which can be understood through two German words for education, Erziehung and Bildung. Through considering the approach to these…

An Augustinian understanding of original sin can significantly contribute to the purpose of the teaching of the humanities. It helps at the point where Martha Nussbaum's understanding of the humanities is inconsistent. She argues that the humanities should cultivate a "world citizen," that is, a people aspiring towards a universal…

In this paper, we propose a new method for selecting cases for in situ, immediate interview research: detector-driven classroom interviewing (DDCI). Published work in educational data mining and learning analytics has yielded highly scalable measures that can detect key aspects of student interaction with computer-based learning in close to…

Drawing primarily on John Dewey's Experience and Nature, but putting his metaphysical commitments into conversation with pedagogical experience, this article asks: how might a Deweyan understanding of nature and our experience within it support environmental progress? More specifically, how might we respect pluralistic relationships with…

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…

Flavell's theory of metacognition was innovative at the time for its promising practicality. However, research findings that report inconsistencies in metacognitive trainings' outcomes and insufficiencies of translating the theory into mainstream classrooms have accumulated since then. In this sense, there may be a need to revisit metacognition…

This article explores the transformative potential of mindfulness and rituals of regard, drawing inspiration from bell hooks's insights on communities of care. Focusing on the intersection of epistemology, ontology, and pedagogy, I investigate how mindfulness can serve as a liberatory pedagogy, challenging Cartesian legacies and fostering…

Mindfulness-based programs have become popular, empirically supported treatment modalities for increasing positive psychological outcomes for children and adolescents, with an overall effect size of 0.4. We argue for implementing community-based participatory research (CBPR) methodology to investigate the specific effects of mindfulness-based…

Metacognitive monitoring, recognizing when one is accurate or not, is important because judgments of one's performance or knowledge often relate to control decisions, such as help seeking. Unfortunately, children and adults struggle to accurately monitor their performance during number-magnitude estimation. People's accuracy in estimating number…

Metacognition, or having an awareness of one's thought processes, is an integral part of learning. Fostering metacognitive abilities enhances self-awareness and the ability of learners to engage with complexity. Metacognition underscores all aspects of leadership learning, including knowledge, development, training, observation, and engagement.…

This article addresses the problem of two extreme positions in the self-understanding of human beings namely ignoring culture or its over-determination. Though Charles Taylor and Antonio Gramsci are widely known to differ from each other in many respects, we endeavor a congruent reading to evolve a comprehensive perspective. We make avail of their…

What form might truth take in a theoretical frame which precludes notions of origin and "telos?" Catherine Malabou's theory of 'plasticity' is such a frame, as it takes the accumulation of life and not the search for eternal truths to be a central premise of philosophy. I conduct a close reading of central texts of Malabou's to…

As the importance of student self-regulated learning (SRL) among school-aged populations continues to increase, there is an emerging need for school psychologists and other school professionals to develop the knowledge and skills to effectively assess this process. The current paper provides a conceptual and empirical overview of a multimethod SRL…

In this article, I argue that the scalability and effectiveness of universal school-based mindfulness interventions for adolescents will always be limited by the high motivational commitment required to meditate. Mindfulness interventions rely on a single and demanding health behavior--namely, meditation--to cultivate mindfulness skills. But…
