Homework is a common activity among K-12 students, and numerous observational meta-analyses have confirmed the positive relationship between homework and academic performance. However, considering children's limited energy and attention, several researchers have proposed an optimum time to spend on homework. This Campbell review examines the…

Phubbing is not only a consequence of technological advancements but also represents an entirely novel aspect of social conduct, impacting students' academic performance and the sustainability of development. The purpose of the study is to identify the relationship between students' level of phubbing, academic engagement and academic performance…

Despite the increasing implementation of formative assessment in medical education, its' effect on learning behaviour remains questionable. This effect may depend on how students value formative, and summative assessments differently. Informed by Expectancy Value Theory, we compared test preparation, feedback use, and test-taking motivation of…

Students who experience mathematics anxiety have long been suggested to engage in avoidance behaviors that negatively impact their mathematics performance. However, little is known about how these avoidance behaviors manifest for highly anxious students within the context of a mathematics course. Since the use of effortful study strategies has…

Study habits can be defined as students' decisions on choosing what to learn and how to learn during their everyday learning processes. Study habits included three aspects of learning behavior: choosing learning material, adopting specific learning strategies (rereading, self-testing, and spacing), and strategy sources and changes (how strategies…

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to describe how racial and ethnic minority allied health students at a 4-year college in the Midwestern United States described their general academic motivations and study habits to prepare for clinical examinations. The self-determination theory (SDT) was the conceptual framework for the…

This paper examines the spillover effects of maternal education in elementary classrooms in the context of Vietnam. Drawing from the sample of students who are randomly assigned to classrooms, we find that exposure to classmates whose mothers are well-educated positively influences student achievement. The heterogeneity analyses reveal that the…

Enrolment in master's programmes, especially online ones, has increased exponentially in recent years. This article analyses the relationship that several sociodemographic and academic variables have with motivational components, self-regulation, study approaches, and competence development in online university postgraduate students. The following…

Background: While previous research has emphasized the importance of personal beliefs (expectancy-value theories) for achievement-motivated behaviour, it lacks the integration of temporal factors that are also discussed as important drivers of achievement-motivated behaviour. Temporal Motivation Theory (TMT) combines both approaches in a…

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…

The extant literature on regret as motivation for behavior presents inconclusive results, collectively. While it has often been agreed that regret motivates reparative action, most studies from the past 14 years indicate that regret may motivate either detrimental actions or, more commonly, no action at all. There also appears to be no published…

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…

Several researchers have investigated different factors which are found responsible for students' mathematics achievement. This study examined achievement motivation, locus of control and study habits as predictors of mathematics achievement of freshman students taking non-board examination programs at a certain state university in Southern Luzon,…

Although there is research demonstrating benefits of inclusive postsecondary education (IPSE) programs for students with intellectual disabilities (ID), much less is known about IPSE students' classroom-related, non-academic thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors, sometimes referred to as academic enabling behaviors, including interpersonal skills,…

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…
