The purpose of this study is to investigate a mathematically gifted student's self-regulation behaviours while constructing and consolidating mathematical knowledge. However, the objective is to determine which self-regulation strategies influence this student's mathematical abstraction process. The case study method was used in the research. As…

Purpose: This study proposed a metacognition-inclusive self-regulated learning (SRL) approach to out-of-class listening practice and explored its impact on learners' listening performance and their reported use of self-regulatory listening strategies. Design/methodology/approach: Participants comprised 45 students learning English at a university…

Expectancy-value theory mostly focuses on how expectancy and value beliefs are associated with academic achievement. Both expectancy and value beliefs are multidimensional and can be further decomposed into general and specific factors. However, few studies have explored the associations of these general and specific factors with academic…

The present study investigated the self-regulated learning strategies adopted by EFL learners, their levels of cognitive test anxiety, and the potential correlations between self-regulated learning and cognitive test anxiety. The study also examined whether gender and level of language proficiency had a significant effect on self-regulated…

There is growing concern about the mental health and resilience of today's children and difficulties with self-regulation are implicated in educational outcomes, cognitive problems, internalizing problems such as depression and anxiety, externalizing problems such as aggression, and physical health problems. Self-regulation is a growing topic of…

Purpose: This study aims to investigate which "a priori" factors documented in the literature and new factors that influence employees' self-regulated microlearning behavior and the utilization of internal microlearning platforms in organizations. Design/methodology/approach: The authors conducted a single-case study on a Swedish retail…

English is an indispensable language, especially in the digital age. For students who are not specialized in English vocabulary, understanding effective vocabulary learning strategies becomes crucial, helps increase their chances of being hired, and improves coherence in written and spoken communication. This study investigates the vocabulary…

Packed with useful tools, this practitioner guide and course text helps educators assess and teach essential literacy skills and strategies at all grade levels (PreK-12). All six literacy modalities are addressed--listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing, and visually representing. Chapters on specific literacy processes integrate…

Students in a gateway college science course were assigned to two instructional conditions: explanation-only or augmented instruction. In the explanation-only condition, students wrote explanations for six excerpts from their textbook. The augmented-instruction condition wrote explanations on only four of the excerpts, with the other two serving…

Purpose: The primary goal of this commentary was to consider the future directions that researchers dealing with levels and regulation of strategies and with approaches to learning may wish to pursue in the years to come. Procedure: In order to accomplish this goal, the first step was to look for any common ground shared by authors contributing to…

In the present study, the impact of formative assessment on secondary school students' mathematics achievement and their metacognitive awareness was examined. The participants included 164 (84 boys) grade 11 students and four mathematics teachers from four secondary schools in Kenya. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest non-equivalent group…

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of mathematics (math) diaries on academic achievement, metacognitive awareness and motivation of students in a mathematics lesson. The case study was conducted with a qualitative, quasi-experimental design and a quantitative, embedded multiple-case design as a mixed research model. The sample of…

The main aim of the present study is to develop first year university students' meta-cognitive reading comprehension using inquiry-based learning strategy. Subjects of the study were 106 (53 males, 53 females) first year university students enrolled in two classrooms at colleges representing urban and sub-urban areas in Shaqra University. The…

There is widespread agreement that student teachers need to construct an integrated knowledge base across multiple domains. This study examined the contributions of intraindividual factors of self-regulated learning to explaining student teachers' (a) integration of knowledge across topics and domains (i.e., integrative learning) and (b)…

We examined the influences of pre-solving pause time, algebraic knowledge, mathematics self-efficacy, and mathematics anxiety on middle-schoolers' strategy efficiency in an algebra learning game. We measured strategy efficiency using (a) the number of steps taken to complete a problem; (b) the proportion of problems completed on the initial…
