Thiede, Keith W.; Redford, Joshua S.; Wiley, Jennifer; Griffin, Thomas D. – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2017
Background: Self-regulated learning requires accurate monitoring and effective regulation of study. Little is known about how effectively younger readers regulate their study. Aims: We examined how decisions about which text to restudy affect overall comprehension for seventh-grade students. In addition to a "Participant's Choice"…

Güngör, Cumhur – International Journal of Curriculum and Instruction, 2021
The transition of responsibility for learning to the student has been one of the current era's frequently debated expertise. In this sense, self-regulation skills, which are not limited to education and academic life, have become an essential infrastructure. This article's objective was to explore self-regulatory learning strategies (SRL) by high…

Shibukawa, Sachika; Taguchi, Mana – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2019
This study aims to find out how students prepared for a flipped classroom and to examine what type of instruction could effectively guide students to do pre-class preparation. We conducted case studies for over two years in a physiology class at a Japanese university. In a survey performed in 2017, students were asked to participate in a…

Lane, Tonisha B.; Morgan, Kali; Lopez, Megan M. – Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory & Practice, 2020
Underserved students express a high interest in earning a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) degree. However, their ACT benchmark indicators tend to be much lower than their peers, especially for students who report more than one underserved attribute. There are a number of STEM intervention programs (SIPs) that are designed…

Duchatelet, Dorothy; Donche, Vincent – Higher Education Research and Development, 2019
By implementing student-centred learning environments, higher education institutions aim to foster student self-efficacy and self-regulation. Previous research that focuses on how students perceive these learning environments usually does not take the differential impact of students' study motivation into account. However, the type of motivation…

Wolters, Christopher A.; Won, Sungjun; Hussain, Maryam – Metacognition and Learning, 2017
The primary goal of this study was to investigate whether college students' academic time management could be used to understand their engagement in traditional and active forms of procrastination within a model of self-regulated learning. College students (N = 446) completed a self-report survey that assessed motivational and strategic aspects of…

Hawkins, Whitney; Goddard, Kate; Favero, Carlita – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
Students must master content for success in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), but "how to" is rarely taught in college. Faculty are reluctant to sacrifice class time, believe such instruction is remedial, or assume students possess or will attain these skills independently. To determine whether explicit…

Carpenter, Tara S.; Beall, Lisa Carter; Hodges, Linda C. – Journal of Teaching and Learning with Technology, 2020
An exam wrapper is a reflective exercise completed after an exam, designed to help foster students' metacognition and self-regulation. Typical exam wrappers ask students how they studied, what they missed and why, and how they would change their study behaviors to improve on the next exam. In small classes, exam wrappers can be administered as…

Morphew, Jason W.; Gladding, Gary E.; Mestre, Jose P. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
Students must actively engage in problem solving to effectively learn in introductory physics courses. However, students often get stuck and are not able to make progress when solving problems outside of their current ability, particularly when one-on-one tutoring and instructor office hours are a limited resource. One effective technique consists…

Lin, Jian-Wei – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2019
Team-based learning (TBL) stresses applying knowledge rather than absorbing knowledge in class; studies have investigated the use of TBL and its merits in different teaching courses (e.g., medical science and business). TBL is most effective when students learn autonomously before class. However, the ability of autonomous learning is highly…

Osterhage, Jennifer L.; Usher, Ellen L.; Douin, Trisha A.; Bailey, William M. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2019
Accurate self-evaluation is critical for learning. Calibration describes the relationship between learners' perception of their performance and their actual performance on a task. Here, we describe two studies aimed at assessing and improving student calibration in a first-semester introductory biology course at a 4-year public institution. Study…

Cromley, Jennifer G.; Dai, Ting; Fechter, Tia; Van Boekel, Martin; Nelson, Frank E.; Dane, Aygul – Grantee Submission, 2019
Reasoning skills have been clearly related to achievement in introductory undergraduate biology, a course with a high failure rate that may contribute to dropout from 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…

Jones, Jennifer A. – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2019
Self-regulated learning assumes learners are active agents who can establish and make progress toward learning goals. Classroom activities can facilitate the emergence of self-regulated learning. One strategy to encourage self-regulated learning is to ask students to develop questions for a quiz or examination. The process of developing questions…

Havis, Leanne R. – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2019
This paper introduces a new integrated post-exam assessment model known as the exam autopsy. Grounded in metacognitive principles of reflective practice, students are provided with three sources of evaluative insight (from self, instructor, and peer) as they seek to analyze the root cause of their exam performance and formulate an action plan for…

Iwamoto, Darren H.; Hargis, Jace; Bordner, Richard; Chandler, Pomaika'inani – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2017
The purpose of this scholarship of teaching and learning was to define and assess the level of self-regulation skills undergraduate students possess. Participants completed the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ). Through the analysis of the MSLQ, students reported having high expectations for themselves. Yet, students were…
