Higher education institutions have recently increased the number of online courses offered to students. A need exists to understand student success within asynchronous self-paced online education programs. This study explores the factors that impact student success in the Independent Study Program (iStudy) at the University of Mississippi,…

A modern specialist's ability to self-educate is a valuable professional quality. Education has been given the essential responsibility to develop the learners' readiness for self-education (RSE). However, university students experience difficulties organizing and implementing self-educational activities. The study's goal is to investigate the…

Intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) incorporate pedagogical agents (PAs) to scaffold learners' self-regulated learning (SRL) via prompts and feedback to promote learners' monitoring and regulation of their cognitive, affective, metacognitive and motivational processes to achieve their (sub)goals. This study examines PAs' effectiveness in…

Purpose: Higher education is undergoing a significant transformation, demanding a rethinking of instructional methods, the establishment of novel assessment frameworks and the incorporation of state-of-the-art technologies to advance the development of learning competencies. The use of simulations is an alternative that offers satisfactory results…

Understanding the development of self-regulated learning (SRL) in applied educational contexts is currently an important goal for researchers. There exists a relatively rich literature for most SRL components in isolation yet the field is lacking in understanding their coordination. This study examined the relationship between metacognitive…

One of the key successes of learning through mobile technology comes from the competencies of learners. This study aimed to investigate the overall competency levels of mobile learning readiness and four influential factors (connectivist learners, technology readiness, self-directed learning, and netiquette) that may impact college students'…

This article is a self-study of intentional practices embedded in reflective teaching in a teacher education program in Eritrea. The educator-researcher (author) was concerned with engaging learner-teachers in interactive teaching practices in general and reflective learning practices in particular. By employing self-study methods and tools, the…

In this paper, a teacher educator discusses her experience of professional learning through self-study. The author found the transition between being a classroom teacher and teacher educator challenging, as has been noted in recent literature. Thus, she decided to embark on a self-study, which was focused on the enhancement of her teaching so that…

In our previous article, Concentrations in School Psychology: Can specialization empower the evolution of the profession? (Starling, Elias & Coleman 2019), we reflected on how school psychologists can effectively address and respond to the myriad needs of our nation's ever-changing schools. In this article, we revisit training, specifically in…

The aim of this study was to examine the computational thinking skill levels and online self-regulatory learning levels of pre-service teachers in terms of various variables and to determine the relationship between their computational thinking skill levels and online selfregulatory learning levels. The design of the research is the correlational…

Individual interest and self-regulation are two pillars of self-directed learning. Despite empirical evidence on the interaction between the two with respect to academic achievement, few studies have explored how individual interest and self-regulation might interact and relate to self-directed informal learning. This study surveyed 322 university…

Artificial intelligence (AI) education is becoming an advanced learning trend in programming education. However, AI subjects can be difficult to understand because they require high programming skills and complex knowledge. This makes it challenging to determine how different departments of students are affected by them. This study draws on…

This study addresses the limited exploration in the literature regarding the influence of EFL teachers' informal digital learning of English (IDLE) on their creativity in Indonesian EFL classroom instructions. Using a cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from 244 Indonesian EFL teachers, encompassing both pre-service and in-service…

As the COVID-19 pandemic fades into the background, higher education institutions think about what they can learn from the vast shift to online teaching and learning--the recent period emphasized the significance of autonomous learning abilities, as students who were skilled in self-regulation were able to cope with the challenges of remote…

Persistence in doctoral programs has historically been low with less than 50-75% of students graduating from their programs. Though research has been conducted on self-directed learning and doctoral programming, research is scant on self-directed learning readiness in doctoral students and mode of learning (i.e., online or in person). The purpose…
