This paper reports on the development and validation of the classroom assessment (CA) for self-regulated learning (SRL) Questionnaire (CASRLQ), a questionnaire intended to measure to what extent CA practices are SRL supportive. The original CASRLQ, consisting of 32 items to represent five SRL-supportive CA dimensions, was constructed and…

Early childhood (EC) professionals are valuable educators and teachers, and their work involves being caregivers, yet the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have highlighted the lack of 'caring about' and 'for' EC professionals. With the increasing focus on educator wellbeing, this paper explores how eight EC professionals understand the role of…

Well-being can play a vital role in a student's trait emotional intelligence (EI) and emotion regulation that indirectly results in successful learning, rarely investigated in a second language (L2) context. The current research examined the role of well-being manifestations (i.e., hedonic and eudaimonic orientations) in L2 trait EI and emotion…

This study aims to investigate the impact of a novel environmental intervention--Emotive Intelligent Spaces (EIS) on young children's self-regulation and working memory using a single-subject reversal design (ABAB). EIS is a semi-private space with coloured lights that could adapt to each child's preferred colour based on the child's self-reported…

Rubrics are popular tools to assess students' social-emotional skills. However, little research has been devoted to investigating whether rubrics' performance level descriptions validly represent the intended skills. In this study, we addressed the validity of Self-management rubrics by examining the presence of construct-irrelevant variance in…

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education is attracting increasing attention, but how to improve students' STEM learning achievement is still a big challenge. In the process of learning, students actively set learning goals, organize learning content, set learning standards, and independently adapt learning strategies and…

This study sought to investigate the effects of a self-monitoring (SM) with goal-setting (GS) intervention on students' disruptive behavior. A multiple baseline A-B-BC design was implemented across five elementary school-aged participants diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to examine the use of a behavioral intervention…

No one achieves emotional intelligence once and for all. Increasing emotional intelligence (EQ) is an ongoing process, and one's capacity can shift because of many factors such as levels…

The present research investigated personality profiles in early and middle adolescents (N = 168) and compared the emerged profiles by creative ideation, motivational autonomy, and self-efficacy in self-regulation. Cluster analyses revealed three profiles: Resilients, Flexibles, and Averages. The personality types described in the literature were…

The goal of education can be defined in many ways; but in searching the literature, we found that in most cases, people consider the goal of education to be developing a self-determined individual. Self-determination is an abstract term. Behavior analysts may find this term difficult to define. Therefore, it may be difficult to observe and measure…

This study investigated age-dependent improvements of monitoring and control in 7/8- and 9/10-year-old children. We addressed prospective (judgments of learning and restudy selections) and retrospective metacognitive skills (confidence judgments and withdrawal of answers). Children (N = 305) completed a paired-associate learning task twice, with a…

Creating psychologically safe spaces for pre-service teachers to talk about their hopes, dreams and tensions of becoming teachers is complex work that requires teacher educators to engage with a range of pedagogical practices. A teacher educator must consider how they create this safe space, offering opportunity for vulnerabilities to be revealed.…

This qualitative study investigated the influence of Metawriting, or "writing about writing," on fifth-grade students' knowledge of writing and proficiency in composing informative essays.
