Husmann, Polly R.; Smith, Theodore C. – College Teaching, 2022
Previous research has shown the value of retrieval practice and metacognitive awareness for student success. The present research evaluated the use of online question modules, in relationship to examination and final course grades, to encourage the development of these skills in undergraduate anatomy. The results demonstrated trends in both…

Dabas, Chitra S.; Muljana, Pauline S.; Luo, Tian – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2023
This study investigates factors that stimulate better academic performance for female students in learning quantitative topics, such as those involving mathematical-related tasks. We explore the differences in self-regulated learning (e.g., sources of motivation and execution of learning strategies), learning behaviors, and learning achievement of…

Simone, Patricia M.; Whitfield, Lisa C.; Bell, Matthew C.; Kher, Pooja; Tamashiro, Taylor – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2023
Much of the learning that college students engage in today occurs in unsupervised settings, making effective self-regulated learning techniques of particular importance. We examined the impact of task difficulty and supervision on whether participants would follow written instructions to use repeated testing over restudying. In Study 1, we found…

Yu, Yang; Jiang, Yingjie; Li, Feifei – Metacognition and Learning, 2020
Metamemory refers to the metacognitive awareness of one's own memory status. Previous research has shown that item value plays a dominant role in self-regulated study (e.g., strategic choices regarding when, what, and how to study). In spite of extensive research on the effects of item value on in learners' study behaviour, less is known about the…

Sungjun Won; Christopher A. Wolters – Educational Psychology, 2024
The primary objective was to investigate the relations between college students' achievement goals and their engagement in self-regulated learning using a person-centered approach. College students (N = 364) completed surveys that assessed mindset, self-efficacy, anxiety, achievement goals, and self-regulated learning. Latent profile analyses…

Peng, Yaoping; Tullis, Jonathan G. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
In student-regulated instruction, guiding one's study effectively and efficiently is crucial for successful learning. Yet, significant variability exists in how effectively learners regulate their own study. Here, we explored whether and how beliefs about the nature of intelligence affect learners' metacognitive control and ultimately the efficacy…

Higham, Philip A.; Zengel, Bettina; Bartlett, Laura K.; Hadwin, Julie A. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Successive relearning involves repeated retrieval practice of the same information (with feedback) over multiple, spaced sessions. We implemented successive relearning in an introductory psychology class to explore potential learning benefits. After each weekly lecture, students were sent links via e-mail to engage in three learning practice…

Yan, Veronica X.; Sana, Faria – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
When learning new information, should students focus on studying 1 concept at a time or should they alternate studying between different concepts? Recent research shows that students should mix up or interleave the study of different concepts, particularly when the concepts are related or hard to discriminate (Carvalho & Goldstone, 2015). But…

van Loon, Mariëtte H.; Oeri, Niamh S. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
It is unknown how multiple components of on-task regulation of learning affect task performance in school children. This research aimed to acquire insights into the interrelations between children's metacognitive monitoring, regulation of learning, and task performance. Three components of on-task regulation of learning were investigated:…

Lacy Krueger; Jennifer Dyer; Jennifer Schroeder; Phoenix Carlini – College Student Journal, 2022
The testing effect phenomenon occurs when repeated retrieval practice leads to better long-term retention of information compared to repeated re-studying of material, but students tend to prefer repeated studying over testing themselves (Karpicke et al., 2009). We aimed to assess students' preference for who should implement testing -- instructors…

Xu, Jianzhong; Corno, Lyn – Educational Psychology, 2022
The current investigation used latent profile analysis (LPA) to categorise students according to their strategies for managing mathematics homework. A sample of 918 Chinese students in grades 7-9 rated their use of seven homework management strategies; namely, arranging the environment, managing time, monitoring motivation, managing emotion,…

Blackmore, Conner; Vitali, Julian; Ainscough, Louise; Langfield, Tracey; Colthorpe, Kay – International Journal of Higher Education, 2021
The ability to distinguish between effective and ineffective study strategies based on feedback is of utmost importance for secondary school leavers transitioning to tertiary education (Brinkworth et al., 2009; Salisbury & Karasmanis, 2011). Often accompanying this learning environment transition is academic difficulty and an increased…

O'Malley, Chasity B.; Ross, Kyla Turpin; Hull, Kerry; Hood, Suzanne; Page, Olivia; Jensen, Murray – HAPS Educator, 2021
A unique approach to improving student success in Human Anatomy and Physiology can be centered around teaching the students about metacognitive learning strategies. This perspective discusses the implementation of a metacognitive learning strategies session and highlights some of the outcomes that resulted from the session through exam wrapper…

Fergus, Suzanne; Heelan, Amy; Ibrahim, Sara; Oyman, Hasan; Diaz-de-Mera, Yolanda; Notario, Alberto – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The approach that students take in their studies at university is critical not only for their academic success but is equally important in life-long learning for their career and professional development. Cognitive science has demonstrated that retesting oneself on material when learning enhances and promotes greater retention of knowledge…

Whittlesey, Valerie; Steiner, Hillary H. – InSight: A Journal of Scholarly Teaching, 2021
College success requires development of self-regulated learning skills. This study describes a self-regulated learning strategy intervention in a large general education Introductory Psychology course, focusing on the second exam. Students' reflection responses across five time periods were compared with exam performance. Increased self-regulated…
