Harsy, Amanda; Hoofnagle, Alyssa – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2020
The authors present the results of quantitative data and student feedback from a two-year study of the effects of a new assessment model called "mastery-based testing." In mastery-based testing, students are given problems in which they can only receive full credit for the problem after they demonstrate mastery of the objective being…

Memis, Aysel Demiroglu; Kandemir, Hülya – World Journal of Education, 2019
The aim of the study is to analyze the correlation between study habits and attitudes and metacognitive reading comprehension self-awareness, reading comprehension and reading attitude of fifth-grade students. 313 students (193 female, 188 male) consisted the sample group of the study using relational screening model. SSHA-Survey of Study Habits…

Cromley, Jennifer G.; Dai, Ting; Fechter, Tia; Van Boekel, Martin; Nelson, Frank E.; Dane, Aygul – Journal of Experimental Education, 2021
Reasoning skills have been clearly related to achievement in introductory undergraduate biology, a course with a high failure rate that may contribute to dropout of undergraduate STEM majors. Existing measures are focused on the experimental method, such as generating hypotheses, choosing a research method, how to control variables other than…

Barenberg, Jonathan; Roeder, Ute-Regina; Dutke, Stephan – Psychology Learning and Teaching, 2018
Studies demonstrate that students' study behavior is frequently dysfunctional, because they tend to cram shortly before examinations. This behavior is antithetical to spaced learning and can impair academic achievement. We investigated the extent that the temporal distribution of learning activities (a) varies as a function of the organization of…

Buzza, Dawn; Fitzgerald, Carolyn; Avitzur, Yoad – McGill Journal of Education, 2022
This study examines how one teacher supported low-achieving students' self-regulated learning (SRL) in the context of a secondary mathematics class. The teacher's scaffolding provided students with multiple opportunities to use feedback and adapt learning and study strategies. Data compared pre- and post-measures of metacognitive skills,…

Ali Eissa Saad, Mourad – Online Submission, 2020
This study aimed to investigate the combined effects of Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) and Academic Procrastination (AP) on Smartphone Addiction (SA). It also aimed at investigating the relative contribution of SRL and academic procrastination to SA among second year-middle school learning disabled students. Moreover, it sought to explore if there…

Tock, Jamie L.; Moxley, Jerad H. – Metacognition and Learning, 2017
The metacognitive self-regulation (MSR) scale is among the most widely used measures of metacognition in educational research. However, the psychometric properties and validity of the scale have not been well established. A series of analyses on a college sample were performed to address this issue. In Study 1, a split-sample exploratory (EFA) and…

Thomas, Ruthann C.; Finn, Bridgid; Jacoby, Larry L. – Metacognition and Learning, 2016
Most metacognition research has focused on aggregate judgments of overall performance or item-level judgments about performance on particular questions. However, metacognitive judgments at the category level, which have not been as extensively explored, also play a role in students' study strategies, for example, when students determine what…

Coleman, Sandra Lee; Skidmore, Susan Troncoso; Martirosyan, Nara M. – Journal of College Academic Support Programs, 2021
Despite their better-than-average preparation, former dual credit and advanced placement students have placed into developmental education upon entering higher education. In this phenomenological study, six students were randomly selected to be interviewed from a group of 562 who placed into developmental education at one Texas university during a…

Khan, Bibi Rabia – Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College, 2020
Improving students' performance in Calculus is a challenge for many colleges and universities. One way of improving students' performance as well as their metacognition and study skills is to provide opportunities for them to receive support outside of the lecture. A modified version of the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ)…

Margoniner, Vera; Bürki, Jérôme; Kapp, Micaela – Physics Teacher, 2019
In fall 2014 we started the development of a series of short YouTube videos to help our introductory physics students better comprehend concepts they tend to find challenging. Our work is inspired by the PhD thesis of Derek Muller (author of the Veritasium channel) showing that lecture-based videos tend to be not only ineffective, but actually…

Gamby, Sonja; Bauer, Christopher F. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2022
Background: There is a critical need for evidence-based metacognition instruction models with an ease of implementation. Three issues involved in advancing the implementation and assessment of metacognitive interventions are: (i) the lack of an operational framework for the development of metacognition; (ii) metacognition instruction models that…

Meloni, Carla; Fanari, Rachele – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2019
The aim of this study is to examine, in an educational context, the influence of chess training on academic performance (written text comprehension and recall and mathematical problem-solving ability) and on meta-cognitive skills (approach to studying and study strategies availability). A sample of 85 children attending primary school participated…

Hsu, Jeremy L.; Goldsmith, Gregory R. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
While student stress and anxiety are frequently cited as having negative effects on students' academic performance, the role that instructors can play in mitigating these challenges is often underappreciated. We provide summaries of different evidence-based strategies, ranging from changes in instructional strategies to specific classroom…
