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 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,…

Physical Education (PE) teachers' responsibility is critical in supporting the development of students' motivation, positive attitude and behaviour. This study explored students' conflict management styles, the most common sources of conflicts during PE, and the relationship between conflict management styles, self-perceived health and social-…

This quantitative study delves into the intricate relationship between Knowles' andragogical teaching style and the implementation of restorative practices in secondary schools. The research takes root in the growing need to move beyond zero-tolerance policies that have demonstrably led to concerning trends such as heightened suspension rates,…

The present study investigated direct as well as indirect relations between children's emotion regulation (anger- and avoidant-oriented strategies), behavior regulation, and mathematics achievement in a longitudinal study during the transition from primary to secondary school in Germany. Participants were 76 primary school students attending grade…

The present pilot study employed an experimental design to examine the efficacy of a self-distancing intervention for promoting adolescent's reflective adaptation to anger inducing events. Recent experimental studies on college students, elementary school students, and couples have found that self-distancing interventions, as compared to…

Education leaders must identify valid metrics to predict student long-term success. We exploit a unique dataset containing data on cognitive skills, self-regulation, behavior, course performance, and test scores for 8th-grade students. We link these data to data on students' high school outcomes, college enrollment, persistence, and on-time degree…

This study explores teachers' perspectives on mandala coloring as a therapeutic tool for middle grades students with disruptive behavior disorders (DBDs). Employing an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, the research first conducted qualitative interviews with ten experienced teachers, followed by teachers' quantitative assessments of 60…

Self-regulated learning (SRL), which involves the regulation of cognitive, affective, metacognitive, and motivational processes, is an important construct for analyzing effective student learning in open-ended learning environments (OELEs). Novice K-12 students working on complex learning tasks in OELEs often engage in sub-optimal use of SRL…

Many questions have been asked about how to teach math, how to get students to like math, how to engage students in math and how to increase math scores. Metacognition and Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) have an impact on mathematics achievement in middle school students. In this quantitative study, the Self-Reflection Questionnaire, MKMQ was used…

Autonomy in learning is obtained through an active process, in which students set learning objectives, monitor, regulate and control their knowledge, motivation and behavior, guided by the characteristics of the educational environment. We chose this topic because we believe that one of the objectives of universities is to train autonomous,…

School counselors play an integral role in helping adolescents navigate and overcome the psychological distress that they experience. This study aimed to better understand the experiences of Jamaican school counselors who provide psychological support to adolescents in high school. Urie Bronfenbrenner's (2006) bioecological model of human…

Classroom management and coping with disruptions are a primary source of stress for teachers. However, very little is known about teachers' considerations when facing daily disruptions in their classes. To bridge this gap, seventy-one K-12 teachers were asked to recall such an incident and describe five alternate responses they considered. Did…
