Successful vocabulary acquisition hinges on the harmonious interplay of various factors. Despite some studies that have been conducted to examine the direct effect of self-regulation on vocabulary learning, few of them tapped into the relationship among self-regulation, motivational beliefs, vocabulary learning strategies and vocabulary…

Many instructional videos in mathematics education target knowledge of procedures and algorithms. To design instructional videos that support students in a non-algorithmic domain, such as mathematical modeling, we developed a framework based on research on heuristic worked examples and instructional videos. Because students' perceptions play an…

In the study reported on here we used a qualitative case study design to examine the self-control and self-monitoring behaviour of gifted learners in problem-solving processes. We selected 3 gifted secondary learners using the purposeful sampling method. For the study, each learner completed 10 individual problem-solving sessions. A think-aloud…

The current moves by many African countries including Kenya to reform their mathematics education to adopt learner-centred pedagogies presents a need to fill the knowledge gap on learner-textbook relationships there. The mathematics textbook remains a key resource for teaching and learning and is increasingly being expected to play a pedagogical…

This multi-case study investigated self-regulation of preservice science teachers' (PSTs), focusing on their ability to learn from their own teaching experiences and to regulate teaching practices to pose higher-level cognitive questions. The participants were three PSTs enrolled in a certification program for teaching secondary science,…

The primary focus of research on information and communication technologies (ICTs) and work-life interrelationships has been on traditional office work. However, occupations such as teaching are worthwhile to study because they are structured differently than a traditional office given that students are the direct consumers of teacher labor. There…

This study investigated how the acceptance and use of self-regulatory strategies in online learning affected Hong Kong secondary school students' participation in online learning. A self-reported questionnaire was distributed to 1381 students from six secondary schools. Findings of the descriptive analysis indicated that students did not…

Self-regulation is positively associated with better academic, and life, outcomes. Consequently, many school systems aim to develop self-regulation, or related constructs. Thus, many teachers are asked to assess and report upon students' self-regulation (or related constructs). How secondary teachers in Ontario, Canada accomplish this task was…

This study employed a pretest-posttest control group experimental design to investigate the impact of self-explanation prompts on content learning in the game-based context. Additionally, it explored the effectiveness of different delivery timings for the prompts--either during or after gameplay--in enhancing students' cognitive engagement in…

The increasing role of the secondary school administrators in schools created a lack of proper work/life balance. Due to minimal literature related to secondary school administrators' perceptions on work/life balance, the purpose of this basic, qualitative interpretive study was to understand the perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, and…

Background: In times of accelerating changes, teachers who proactively engage in activities towards school improvement and innovation are increasingly needed. Still, studies on factors that affect teachers' proactive behaviour are rare. Aims: Integrating previous research on proactive behaviour within the Job Demand--Resources (JD-R) Model, this…

Background: Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with chronic conditions should acquire self-management skills as part of their healthcare transition (HCT) from pediatric to adult-focused care. HCT/self-management skills have the potential to help mitigate health disparities among minority AYA with chronic conditions. This study investigated school…

The role of motivational processes in self-regulated learning is recognized in all the models of self-regulated learning, but differently conceptualized. Integrating the presumptions of the expectancy-value model, models of self-regulating learning, and distinction between motivational beliefs related to learning process and related to…

Self-regulation is crucial for student success in scientific inquiry and engineering design. However, it remains unclear how students dynamically engage in self-regulated learning (SRL) processes to achieve high performance. In this study, we investigated the temporal nature of self-regulation during engineering design by leveraging computer trace…

Self-regulated learning ability is an important determinant of the effectiveness of blended learning. However, little research has been done on middle school students' horns to explore how to improve their self-regulation learning ability in blended learning. This study investigated the current situation of self-regulated learning, self-efficacy,…
