The significance of higher-order thinking (HOT) is becoming increasingly prominent in the twenty-first century, as reflected in the framework of most recent competency models. Blended learning models are universally recognized as promising endeavors to promote learners' HOT in the contemporary higher education field. To ensure that such learning…

This dissertation explored how 11 college students who self-identified with disabilities made meaning of college experience and how they negotiated dis/abilities in their learning. Their narratives performed counter-narrative of disability in higher education. As scholars and practitioners work to increase educational opportunities for…

Responses are slower in two-choice tasks when either a previous stimulus feature or the previous response repeats than when all features repeat or all features change. Current views of action control posit that such partial repetition costs (PRCs) index the time to update a prior "binding" between a stimulus feature and the response or…

Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the intervening role of anxiety symptoms in relations between self-regulation and multiple forms of prosocial behaviors in U.S. Latino/a college students. Participants: The sample is based on data from a cross-sectional study on college students' health and adjustment. Participants were 249 (62%…

This paper explores "how self-management work groups are formed in higher education institutions and how this affects the effectiveness of the teams." For this, we investigated the experiences of 560 students who were members of self-management learning teams, using factorial analysis, cluster analysis and ordinal logit regression. We…

Objective: To examine the relative contribution of transition readiness (i.e., healthcare self-management) to health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among emerging adult (EA) college students without a chronic medical condition (CMC). Participants: College students (n = 2372; Mage = 19.32, SD = 1.26) from a Midwestern university. Methods:…

The aim of college education is not only to teach students professional knowledge and skills but also to develop their self-regulated learning (SRL) ability, which has great significance for their lifelong development. This study aims to investigate the roles played by professional identity, intrinsic motivation, and sense of school belonging in…

This study aimed to investigate the influence of higher education students' motivation, learning self-efficacy, and self-monitoring on learning engagement in online learning environments. Inviting participants from Taiwan's higher education institutions, a total of 354 students (144 male and 210 female) from different years and fields completed an…

We investigated whether finger pointing can be used as a cognitive load self-management strategy when learning from split-attention examples. We expected that pointing would reduce cognitive load and enhance learning performance. In a guided self-management phase, 122 university students studied a split-attention example under three pointing…

The problem in this project study is that too many student-athletes earn less than a 2.39 grade point average at the study university. The purpose of the project study was to evaluate the self-regulated learning (SRL) skills of student-athletes to determine if there was a statistical difference in skills used among academically challenged and…

The present study explored the accuracy of participants' (N = 317) metacognitive awareness (self-reported difficulty and confidence) of psychology concepts and the moderating effects of their psychology background (academic major, number of psychology courses completed, and overall psychology course grades). Participants first rated the difficulty…

Online learning environments offer flexibility for learners who would like to study at a distance. However, research informs us that online learners are usually less likely to complete the learning experience and more likely to drop out compared to learners studying in traditional face-to-face learning environments. One major factor for low…

The aim of this study is to examine the development of self-regulated learning (SRL) of university students in an EFL course via Flipped classroom through a novel measurement roadmap. Microanalytic techniques were used throughout the process rather than students' perceptions at a given moment. SRL skills scores are reported as well as sample…

The COVID-19 pandemic had significant impacts for both teachers and students at all levels. Instructional delivery had to be modified to respond to the need for social distancing. Even courses that were already fully online required adaptations to accommodate the needs of university students during COVID. One of the biggest changes that the…

In this study, a research model was created to explain whether the relationship between life satisfaction and motivation levels of adults depends on self-control. The dependent variable of this study is adults' life satisfaction (Y), the moderating variable is self-control (W), and the independent variable is adults' lifelong learning motivation…
