Learning strategies have been recognized as important predictors of mathematical achievement. In recent studies, it has been found that Asian students use combined learning strategies, primarily including metacognitive strategies, rather than rote memorization. To the best of the authors' knowledge, there is only one prior study including South…

In this article we will share the impact of mindfulness pedagogy on students in a short-term study abroad course in South Africa. During a one-month program for undergraduate and graduate students, we implemented an explicit critical contemplative pedagogy (Kaufman, 2017) that included daily mindfulness exercises and reflective journaling as a…

Socially shared regulation in learning (SSRL) contributes to successful collaborative learning (CL). Empirical research into SSRL has received considerable attention recently, with increasingly available multimodal data, advanced learning analytics (LA), and artificial intelligence (AI) providing promising research avenues. Yet, integrating these…

Purpose: To understand complex expository text, readers often engage in metacognitive comprehension monitoring. Metacognitive monitoring is assumed to rely on basic cognitive abilities (working memory updating, short-term memory, verbal intelligence). These abilities decrease in later adulthood. We thus compared younger and older adults in their…

Numerous studies have revealed an alarming prevalence of test anxiety among Chinese junior high school students. Prevention of test anxiety in this population has become crucial. Brief meditation intervention (BMI) has shown promising results for promoting students' well-being and reducing test anxiety, but its mechanism for reducing test anxiety…

The purpose of this research is to examine the effects of online project-based learning on students' metacognitive awareness. The participants of the research were 53 students attending 6th grade. The research was carried out using the mixed method approach and it was conducted with the action research model. Pre-test and post-test quantitative…

The completion of university studies is considered a critical event for young people. In this article I investigate how final-year university students experience temporality by researching their cognitive and relational frameworks. By "cognitive" frameworks I mean how students frame their temporal orientations and by relational…

This research was qualitative, it was to investigate Buddhist cosmology as found in Buddhist scriptures and compare cosmological perspectives between 5 Buddhist scholars and 5 scientists. In Thai Buddhist cosmology, the principles of "Pa?iccasamuppada" and "Tilakkha?a" share some similar ideas with the causality principle of…

Understanding the mechanism of emotion regulation and the formation of emotional engagement can improve online learning persistence and academic performance. This study was set to pinpoint the potential pathways between emotion regulation and emotional engagement through meta-emotion and develop a predictive model for online emotional engagement.…

Existing research suggests that mindfulness cultivates positive affect while reducing negative affect, and facilitates increases in resilience. More research is needed to examine the complex mechanisms by which emotional affect likely translates mindfulness into increased states of resilience in undergraduates. We hypothesised that the…

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.…

The expansion of the use of distance learning systems has made many countries around the world search for the degree and level of their efficiency. Distance learning systems are based on several factors, the most important of which is the motivation and passion for research in metacognition for learners. This study aims to reach the degree of…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of mindfulness in the relationship between emotional distress tolerance and coping styles of Turkish university students. The sample of the study included 453 undergraduate students from a public university in Turkey. Participants completed the R-COPE, Distress Tolerance Scale,…

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…

Prior research has documented that mindfulness is negatively associated with aggressive behaviors. Recently, studies have examined mediating psychological constructs that account for the relationships between mindfulness and cyberbullying perpetration. The purpose of the current study was to examine the longitudinal relationship between…
