This qualitative exploratory case study explored first-generation community college students' perceptions of mental health knowledge and the use of technology to practice mindfulness and mitigate stress. Data from Likert-type surveys, semi-structured interviews, and an open-ended questionnaire were analyzed to uncover emerging themes to understand…

The authors developed, implemented, and evaluated a digital simulation game for media education in teacher training. The aim of the simulation game is to simulate decision-making processes in schools for the implementation of hybrid teaching in the context of the pandemic. The question is whether the participation in a digital simulation games…

Learning analytics researchers have been diligently integrating trace data to study Self-Regulated Learning (SRL). Compared to traditionally used survey data, trace data, such as log or clickstream data designed and interpreted to understand a certain SRL construct, are considered to be more effective in capturing dynamic SRL as fine-grained…

Metacognition is a core process in human learning. The problem is that learners are not often aware of their metacognition. The purpose of this study is to examine learners' metacognitive awareness in terms of their situation-specific perceptions in collaborative learning tasks. Upper elementary school students (N = 92) filled in a Metacognitive…

Reflection is a practice used in education that encourages metacognition and can provide instructors with regular feedback. This qualitative research study explored the ways that community college students used reflections and what they chose to share. These reflections occurred during the fall 2021 semester, when many classes returned to in…

This study investigated how student teachers on a Scottish teacher education programme learn by reflecting on professional dialogue experiences. Reflection on one's own experiences and practices is at the heart of all activities that teachers do. By linking professional dialogue with reflective practice, we examined factors that contribute to…

This article reports findings from a study among 9th-graders who participated in a strengths-based intervention in two West-Finnish comprehensive schools. The intervention pursued to develop the students' psychological capital (PsyCap), awareness of their strengths, and experiences of student guidance. The following research question was set for…

Purpose: This study investigates the main factors that lead to students' satisfaction toward executive education blended learning. Design/methodology/approach: Merging five theories (consumer satisfaction theory, self-determination theory, investment model, happy-productive student theory and service quality model), the author used quantitative…

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…

An increasing body of evidence highlights that the opportunities for children to play in green spaces have declined. This is despite the chorus of voices lauding the benefits that time spent in green spaces can have on children's health and wellbeing. This paper presents findings of research into the experiences of children when taking part in…

Help-seeking is an essential self-regulatory and metacognitive skill. In the online learning environment, much of the learning is self-directed and there are generally less opportunities to receive help in real time. The uses of email and discussion boards are the most common method of seeking help in these environments. The current study explored…

It is widely acknowledged that language learning strategies (LLSs) are beneficial to learners' academic achievements, learner autonomy, and motivation; however, it is indicated that Vietnamese students, particularly high school students, have found it hard to employ LLSs. This paper aims at exploring language learning strategies used by high…

In fact, there are several variables affecting an individual's academic achievement. However, in this study, it was aimed to investigate possible effects of metacognitive awareness level on academic achievement. The population of the research included 314 pre-service teachers studying at the faculty of education. A descriptive survey method was…

The 2015 "Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards" (EPAS) recognizes simulation as a means for students to gain skills, technical proficiency, and field practicum hours. Research on its use in social work education has been largely cross-sectional. The purpose of this 9-month qualitative study was to explore the influence of three…

Social media is ubiquitous among today's adolescents. With constant access, social media use can become dysregulated or problematic. Concepts, such as fear of missing out (FOMO), point to the negative effects of social media use. FOMO is a pervading unease that others are having rewarding experiences from which one is absent. For adolescents,…
