Biwer, Felicitas; de Bruin, Anique; Persky, Adam – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2023
Recent research shows the importance to teach students the self-regulated use of effective learning strategies at university. However, the effects of such training programs on students' metacognitive knowledge, use of learning strategies, and academic performance in the longer term are unknown. In the present study, all first-year pharmacology…

Kheng, Yeoh Khar – International Education Studies, 2023
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:…

Ezgi Melisa Yüksel; C. Shawn Green; Haley A. Vlach – Metacognition and Learning, 2024
When students are left to choose their own approaches to studying, they frequently engage in ineffective learning strategies, such as rereading textbooks or cramming. Given this natural tendency amongst students, there has been significant interest in how to increase the use of more effective methods of studying. Efforts to-date have typically…

Study skills are important for success in college. However, students may not be aware of or willing to use effective strategies such as spaced practice and self-testing. This replication-extension study of Susser and McCabe (Susser and McCabe in Instr Sci 41:345-363, 2013) supports their original findings regarding spaced practice and extends the…

Community colleges provide educational, social and professional lifelines for students. Community college students are often characterized by their need to balance school amidst conflicting life needs, such as employment and family. As a result, many community college students struggle to find time to commit to on campus classes. Asynchronous…

Megan N. Imundo; Inez Zung; Mary C. Whatley; Steven C. Pan – Metacognition and Learning, 2025
We investigated the benefits of two ways to use flashcards to perform retrieval practice: alone versus with a partner. In three experiments, undergraduate students learned word-definition pairs using flashcards alone (Individual condition) or with another student (Paired condition). Participants then made global judgments of learning (gJOLs;…

Domokos, Sophia; Huey, Melissa – Journal of Education, 2023
Short metacognitive prompts--like "minute papers"--are simple enough to be widely adopted by instructors. But do they work? We investigate how they affect college students' performance in quantitative (Physics) and qualitative (Psychology) courses, comparing classes which received metacognitive prompts to those that did not. We find…

Kathleen Hefferon; Anna Levina – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2024
Metacognition is often described as the awareness and regulation of learning. It uses strategies which include monitoring one's own thinking, engaging in active planning and self-evaluating one's study habits. Bloom's taxonomy can be used as a metacognitive tool to guide students' study strategies and thus improve their academic performance by…

Serrano, Danya M.; Williams, Patrick S.; Ezzeddine, Laela; Sapon, Bryan – Learning: Research and Practice, 2022
Excessive social media use is a growing concern among educators. However, little research has examined the effects that problematic social media use has on student's academic procrastination and thereby on academic performance. Thus, this study explored the effects of social media use on students' academic procrastination and performance, and the…

Cale, Andrew S.; Hoffman, Leslie A.; McNulty, Margaret A. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
Metacognition, the ability to self-regulate one's learning and performance, has been shown to improve student outcomes. Anatomy is recognized as one of the toughest courses in allied health curricula, and students could benefit from metacognitive activities. The purpose of this study was to explore the changes in metacognition of allied health…

Madison, Erin M.; Fulton, Erika K. – Metacognition and Learning, 2022
Metacomprehension refers to the ability to monitor and control reading comprehension. It is important for individuals to be accurate in their judgments of comprehension, as this can affect academic performance. One type of accuracy, relative accuracy, tends to be low, meaning individuals cannot adequately differentiate well-known from less…

Alex C. Garn; Andreas Stenling – Educational Psychology, 2024
This study investigated daily motivation regulation as a multilevel mediator of undergraduate students' intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and academic functioning. Undergraduate students (N = 124) completed measures on motivation, motivation regulation, and study time for 10 consecutive days leading up to a statistics exam. Bayesian multilevel…

Rausch, Thomas; McKenna, Kelly – American Association for Adult and Continuing Education, 2021
Quizzing can be beneficial as a tool for learning and practice instead of its traditional use as an assessment. Specifically, the use of low stakes quizzing (LSQ) can aid in: (1) retention; (2) subsequent learning; (3) corrective feedback; (4) improved metacognition; and (5) study habits. Best practices for utilizing quizzes are discussed,…

Louise David; Felicitas Biwer; Rik Crutzen; Anique de Bruin – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2024
Study habits drive a large portion of how university students study. Some of these habits are not effective in fostering academic achievement. To support students in breaking old, ineffective habits and forming new, effective study habits, an in-depth understanding of what students' study habits look like and how they are both formed and broken is…
