A review of research on the relationship between academic engagement and burnout reveals three research gaps as most of the research was conducted: i) without analysing all its multiple dimensions; ii) from a variable-centred perspective; and iii) in educational contexts other than higher education. We seek to address these gaps and thus enhance…

Background: While previous research has emphasized the importance of personal beliefs (expectancy-value theories) for achievement-motivated behaviour, it lacks the integration of temporal factors that are also discussed as important drivers of achievement-motivated behaviour. Temporal Motivation Theory (TMT) combines both approaches in a…

This study explored two new pedagogical conceptions--project-based learning (PBL) and self-regulated learning (SRL), to enhance effective English teaching and learning in Macao, and to prepare EFL learners for life-long learning. PBL makes English instruction engaging and SRL empowers learners to take ownership of their learning process. The…

The current study examined the influences of SRL prompts provided in three different phases (i.e., forethought, performance, and self-reflection) on college students' learning outcome and SRL levels during video-based learning. Fifty-eight participants were randomly assigned into one of the four conditions: 1) SRL prompts at the forethought phase;…

The unanticipated switch from face-to-face learning to online education caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a lack of familiarization preparation for students, potentially hampering their learning processes in several ways. The success of online learning is primarily based on the quality of the information systems, self-regulated learning,…

Objective: The purpose of this pilot study was to examine relationships between perceived stress, coping, and diabetes self-care activities among college students with type 1 diabetes. Participants: College students, self-reported as diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Methods: Students responded to an online self-report questionnaire (Perceived…

Within the past decade, there has been increased attention to discrimination and racism toward communities of color. In response, many Black and African American adults engage in activism and civic disruption (Szymanski, 2012) to fight against societal structures that further oppress marginalized communities. Conversely, activism can be physically…

Self-regulation is an essential skill for lifelong learning. Research has shown that self-regulated learning (SRL) leads to greater academic achievement and sustainable education, but students often struggle with SRL. Scaffolds are widely reported as an effective and efficient support method for SRL. To further improve digital scaffolds'…

This study investigates the relationship between students' self-efficacy beliefs, goal-setting, and learning tactics in an online business course. Using sequence analysis and process mining techniques, we analyzed log data from 209 students to identify distinct learning tactics and their association with self-efficacy beliefs, inferred from…

The effects of COVID-19 remained significant on university students' social and academic well-being. The pandemic raised various mental and psychological challenges for the students, and had the potential to deteriorate their academic engagement and performance in online learning environments. The emotion regulation theory hypothesizes that…

The ability to self-regulate learning in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) plays a crucial role in the success of learners. Previous studies indicated the positive impact of self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies on students' learning behaviours and academic outcomes in massive open online courses (MOOCs), yet empirical studies on the impact…

This study examined learners' calibration of their executive function performance and the contribution of learners' calibration accuracy to their self-regulated learning. A measure of calibration bias of EF performance is introduced and an evaluation of the utility of the measure is presented. Direct and indirect measures of EF, an assessment of…

Students generate internal feedback by comparing their current knowledge against some reference information. That information might be planned for by teachers -- usually as comments on students' performance -- although most information is accessed by students themselves during task engagement, from their interactions with others, with resources…

Recent trends show a steady progression in the normalization of online learning. While online learning environments offer students flexibility and convenience, the lack of self-regulation has become a significant factor that could influence online learners' learning experiences and academic outcomes. This literature review provides a comprehensive…

This study examined the mediating effect of meaning in life and the moderating effect of interpersonal trust on the relationship between regulatory emotional self-efficacy (RESE) and prosocial behavior among Chinese college students. RESE and prosocial behavior were evaluated via a survey of 942 participants (51.59% females), showing that RESE was…
