In online STEM courses, self-regulated learning (SRL) serves a critical role in academic success because students are required to monitor and regulate their learning processes. Yet, relatively little research has investigated which and to what extent do SRL strategies contribute to students' online learning experiences. In this paper, with a lens…

Writing attitude, strategy use, and confidence surveys help educators understand how students perceive writing and cope with writing challenges in schools. The dimensions (i.e., constructs reflected by survey items) of these surveys have been studied in general students in the U.S., and we investigated how these surveys would reflect the…

This study investigates the integration of 21st-century skills into the teaching practices of pre-service teachers during their off-campus experiences. Focusing on essential skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, communication, creativity, self-direction, and the use of technology, this research aims to identify which skills are most…

This qualitative study explores the lack of understanding of teacher perceptions on classroom utilization of fidgets with students who have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Eight American special education middle school teachers from a midsized suburban public school district in Illinois were interviewed. Interview transcripts were…

Objectives: Student-athletes are unique in their undertaking of full-time academic and athletic roles. Their dual roles impose a multitude of responsibilities in their daily lives, yet little is known about the factors that may negatively impact their ability to effectively manage these responsibilities. Participants: Data from a large sample of…

Social and emotional learning (SEL) has been increasingly emphasized in educational research and practice for promoting children's wellbeing. Perhaps the most well-known SEL framework is the model provided by the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL). This framework has become the dominant framework informing state SEL…

This study investigates the nuanced interplay between self-regulated learning (SRL) and technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) among 192 Taiwanese voluntary pre-service and in-service teachers, seeking to understand how teachers perceive the integration of technology with SRL strategies in science education. The participants were…

Introduction: Self-regulation is the ability to adequately plan and manage one's own behavior in a flexible manner. It is a predictor of well-being, health, academic performance, among others. The psychometric characterization of the Self-Regulation Questionnaire-Abbreviated (CAR-abr.) composed of 17 items is presented. A versatile instrument,…

Soft skills are interpersonal, communication, and personal attributes that enable individuals to interact effectively with others in personal and workplace settings. Despite the significance of soft skills for career success, these skills are not necessarily taught in traditional academic settings. Consequently, education institutions must adopt…

Did the dramatic learning losses from remote learning in the context of COVID-19 stem at least partly from schools having overlooked students' socio-emotional skills--such as their ability to self-regulate emotions, their mental models, motivation, and grit--during the emergency transition to remote learning? We study this question using a…

Despite high aspirations, many students do not complete postsecondary education. Some scholars advocate for providing more college information to increase enrollment and reduce attainment gaps but this approach overlooks what school counselors and students do with information. Based on interviews and participant observations drawn from 20 urban…

Using structural equation modeling, the current study analyzed data from 249 college students to examine how four aspects of ownership of learning (engagement in learning, self-direction, self-efficacy, and self-monitoring) predicted academic, social, and institutional adjustment to college. Results indicated the model was a good fit to the data…

The benefits of drawing upon evidence-based practices in teaching and learning--such as self-regulated learning (SRL)--are well documented. However, effectively translating and implementing this evidence into diverse higher education (HE) teaching and learning contexts is challenging and complex, and as yet not well understood. Translational…

Fostering students' abilities to deal with practical problems is an important objective of professional training. To enable students to have more practicing time under the supervision of trainers in class, flipped learning has been adopted to shift the lecture time to the before-class stage, and hence more time is available for in-class…

This publication presents the qualitative findings from a mixed-method pilot study on three- and four-drawing protocols for chronic pain, which have demonstrated significant positive quantitative results. For this report, thematic analysis and magnitude coding of drawing titles, narratives, and characteristics including resource representations…
