This study investigates student readiness for self-directed learning and its impact on academic performance. Changes in course delivery and modality have been widespread due to governmental mandates. Courses that were traditional face-to-face or blended learning moved to online learning. In this study, survey data from 350 upper-level business…

The aim of this repeated measures study was to examine an anonymous student feedback system (delivered using clickers) versus a public student feedback system (delivered using flashcards) on 52 graduate learners' metacognition and academic achievement scores. Three dimensions of metacognition were examined in a large lecture setting, including…

The aim of the reported study is to evaluate the effectiveness of different intervention approaches to promote the self-regulated learning behaviour of preschoolers. The conception of an intervention for younger children requires special attention (Phillips & Shonkoff, 2000) because self-regulated learning in this age range is still in an…

Online learning democratizes and provides flexibility in accessing education, but it also places greater demands on students' self-regulated learning strategies. Previous studies have explored the important impact of effort regulation on academic performance. However, there remains more to explore on the dynamics of effort regulation among…

This research was a qualitative phenomenological study and its purposes were to (1) understand the meaning of self-regulated learning and excellence from the perspectives of students, administrators, teachers, and parents of students who have achieved learning success; (2) study the self-regulated learning process of successful students through…

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, courses in higher education have increasingly been delivered via asynchronous online modalities. Although such modalities may allow instructors and students greater flexibility in how they engage with their courses, they increase the self-regulatory challenges learners experience. Students may feel less…

The longitudinal changes of the average grades in four study semesters before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and distance learning are presented in the current study. 11th grade students' (n=586; age M=17.38, SD=0.53) average grades were assessed, as well as their verbal and non-verbal reasoning abilities, and self-evaluations of problem-solving…

Emerging adulthood, the period of time between adolescence and adulthood, is full of new adjustments. During this time, individuals must acclimate to heightened expectations with diminished support. Individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) experience even greater academic and vocational difficulty during emerging adulthood…

First-generation college students are a population of students who are often under-served in higher education institutions. Previous research indicates their well-being is impacted by their experiences within the collegiate environment, which contributes to their lower retention and graduation rates. The purpose of this qualitative research study…

This dissertation uses an anti-deficit perspective to explore the academic experiences of Black men who have completed their bachelor's degrees at predominantly white institutions (PWIs). Despite the reality that only 34% of Black men achieve their undergraduate degrees within six years, this study shifts the narrative from focusing on obstacles…

In recent years, mathematical thinking and reasoning have been widely discussed to promote students' abilities to apply mathematical knowledge and ideas in their daily living. However, few studies have investigated the role of self-regulation in relation to reasoning. This study examined the effects of self-regulation processes on student…

The use of digital tools forms part of any online educational context. When it comes to the training of future teachers, this point proves crucial in order to transfer this technology to classrooms. In addition to the above, incorporating this type of resources as a part of an active learning proposal will enhance their motivation, self-regulation…

Youths' development can be positively or negatively impacted by various factors in their internal and external environment. This study investigated the interactive effects of self-regulation and internalizing and externalizing problems on academic achievement (reading and maths) and positive youth development (PYD) across one year. Data were…

The authors explore the role of social-emotional learning in developing positive behaviors in students and the related challenges faced by teachers in the United States and India.

Previous research has explored possible reasons to conduct academic dishonesty while there are only a few research studies that investigate the strategies to promote academic integrity and do not look at moral self-regulation as a mediating variable. This study, therefore, aims to examine whether moral self-regulation mediates the effects of…
