Attaining a high level of proficiency in speaking a second language (L2) is a formidable challenge, particularly in many English as a foreign language (EFL) settings, such as Taiwan. In such environments, students often encounter limited opportunities for English-speaking practice within formal classroom settings due to the prevalence of…

Purpose: Learners' dispositional attributes form the foundations for their learning behaviour and therefore academic outcomes. This study aims to explore the dispositional attributes of postgraduate learners in coursework programs, and to understand the relationships between dispositional attributes and academic achievement at this level.…

Training of self-regulated learning is most effective if it supports learning strategies in combination with metacognitive regulation, and learners can transfer their acquired metacognitive regulation skills to different tasks that require the use of the same learning strategy (near transfer). However, whether learners can transfer metacognitive…

Previous research has linked emotional intelligence (EI) to academic performance, albeit mostly in primary and secondary education. This association is unclear for teacher education due to a lack of research, especially in Ghana. This quantitative study examined EI patterns in pre-service teachers at a Ghanaian university to extend previous…

The importance of emotional awareness (EA) and emotion regulation (ER) for children's and adolescents' development has been suggested in numerous studies, but longitudinal trajectories of these aspects of emotional competence have rarely been examined. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to investigate developmental trends of EA and ER in…

Lecturers often claim that time constraints cause tension regarding feedback on students' assessment opportunities. Assessment strategies for effective feedback procedures can lead to early identification of problem areas in student performance. Numerous students at higher education institutions (HEIs) do not complete their qualifications or take…

The aim of this investigation is to identify different profiles of undergraduates based on online homework management strategies: arranging the environment, managing time, monitoring motivation, cognitive reappraisal, emotion management, and handling distraction. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was applied to investigate online homework management…

The use of metacognitive and self-regulated strategies is a potential predictor of problem-solving skills and self-efficacy. However, this potential needs to be seen at the level of knowledge and experience of various attributes and forms of activity. This research aims to see the interaction effect of using metacognitive and self-regulated…

In student-centric learning environments, such as blended learning, students' metacognitive self-regulation is required to plan, monitor, and control their learning processes and achieve positive learning outcomes. The lack of metacognitive self-regulation may lead students to encounter difficulties that, eventually, affect their learning…

This study aimed to understand how mindfulness meditation affects young people by examining its impact on self-regulation, happiness, emotional awareness, and school performance among two groups of school children. A 10-week mindfulness program was conducted by a meditation expert for 552 children aged 4-8 (Group 1) and 287 children aged 9-11…

Purpose: This paper aimed to determine the self- and co-regulation influences on the community of inquiry (CoI) for collaborative online learning. Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative survey was used on a sample of (N = 626) enrolled postgraduate students in a South African Open Distance and e-Learning (ODeL) university. The measuring…

There is currently widespread interest in how to promote self-regulated learning (SRL) among young learners to prepare the stage for success in later years. Yet, there is little research that explores primary school students' perspectives and strategies which are known to directly influence their SRL engagement. We conducted semi-structured…

Mathematics Anxiety (MA) is an increasing challenge for mathematics educators and is a barrier to mathematical learning. Through reflection on the implementation of a lesson sequence designed to elicit regular use of explicit metacognitive questions (EMQ's), this paper explores the impact of the incorporation of self-regulated learning (SRL)…

Numerous studies have been conducted to improve students' writing performance through flipped instruction. However, some researchers question its effectiveness due to a lack of systematic design. This study aimed to create a flipped writing environment and investigate the effects of EFL students' writing motivation, metacognitive awareness, and…

Intentional learners are self-directed people who take charge of their education, whether in a setting or an informal setting. Learners who practice intentional learning skills choose their learning methodologies and organize their studies in accordance with their interests, preferences, and speed. This study embarks on the following objectives:…
