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…

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…

Given the growing attention directed to emotions and non-cognitive variables in second language (L2) learning, numerous researchers have examined these constructs in English as a foreign language (EFL) contexts. To contribute to this research agenda, this study aimed to test a model of L2 boredom based on mindfulness, grit, and academic buoyancy.…

What can be done to promote the academic success of learners? More than a question, it is a major challenge of our time. In this perspective, metacognition seems to be a way to empower learners to take ownership of their academic success. Considering the recommendations established in the literature, we co-constructed with teachers a metacognitive…

Previous research has linked emotional intelligence (EI) to academic performance, albeit mostly in primary and secondary education. This association is unclear for teacher education due to a lack of research, especially in Ghana. This quantitative study examined EI patterns in pre-service teachers at a Ghanaian university to extend previous…

The findings of previous studies on the correlation between trait mindfulness (MF) and academic performance (AP) have been inconsistent. The purpose of the current study was to provide a thorough synthesis of prior research based on a three-level random-effects meta-analytic model to explore the link between trait MF and AP, as well as potential…

Children are socialized into society through education, which imparts cultural values and customs and provides them with the tools necessary to contribute positively to society. In this way, education promotes economic expansion and increases public awareness of regional and global issues. To meet the requirements and expectations of…

The negative effects of media multitasking have been addressed in previous studies, and the widespread adoption of online learning to control the outbreak of COVID-19 has further increased concerns about the media use, especially media multitasking, among adolescent students. However, very few studies have explored the protective factors against…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) encompasses cognitive, metacognitive, and motivational learning strategies and is highly relevant for academic achievement. Although students have mostly acquired high-level SRL strategy knowledge by the time they reach college, they often show deficiencies in their application of SRL strategies. In order to…

The computational model of school achievement represents a novel approach to theorizing school achievement, conceptualizing educational interventions as modifications to students' learning curves. By modeling the process and products of educational achievement simultaneously, this tool addresses several unresolved questions in educational…

Traditional exam reviews are passive and face many challenges to prepare students for exams. In this study, we proposed the Tab-Meta Key model, which emphasizes five major factors (time, accountability, big picture, key concepts, and metacognition) and is supported by prior literature. We also designed an exam review based on this model. This exam…
