The purpose of this quantitative comparative study was to assess if and to what extent differences exist in teacher self-efficacy for implementing self-regulated learning (SRL) instruction (direct instruction, providing choices, providing challenges and complex tasks, and building in evaluation) between novice and veteran middle school teachers in…

This study aimed to create an educational innovation called "Online Self-Training Program for Empowering Teachers' Learning to Strengthen Students' Teamwork Skills" conducted with Research and Development (R&D) to be effective according to specified criteria. It can be broadly applied to the development of teachers and students in…

Theological Education by Extension (TEE) programs seek to equip believers for a godly life and ministry through studying materials at home, discussing content with other students in regular meetings, and applying the knowledge to their lives and ministries. It is possible for TEE programs to impact students behaviorally, affectively, and…

Flipped instruction has garnered significant interest in higher education for its potential to enhance student motivation and self-regulated learning. This quasi-experimental study examined the impact of flipped teaching on motivation and self-directed learning attributes among 106 entrepreneurship students at universities in Taiwan. Students…

Classical conceptualisations of self-regulated learning typically ignore the role of teaching strategies in real-world classrooms. Therefore, the present exploratory study aimed to examine the different clusters of perceived teaching strategies and students' metacognitive knowledge and experiences, and motivation. The data came from 6365 (49.63%…

The purpose of this research was to employ the Research and Development (R&D) methodology to produce an educational innovation, called "Online Self-Training Program for Empowering Teachers' Learning to Develop Students' Design Thinking Skills", expected to be widely used among the schools that are the target population in…

This study introduces a novel learning management model aimed at enhancing Thai language proficiency in sixth-grade students. Confronting challenges such as inadequate teaching resources and a lack of student-centric, practical activities in current Thai language education, this model integrates six key components: foundational principles and…

This study explored the effects of learning activities which encouraged positive crosslinguistic influence from L2 Spanish to L1 English grammar in young learners. The learners (N = 82) were studying Spanish as their compulsory foreign language at an English state primary school in the UK. As part of ten timetabled Spanish classes over a period of…

The shift from teacher-centered to student-centered instruction requires language teachers' roles to change from being lecturers and controllers to facilitators and advisors. This shift requires students to have a high degree of learner autonomy. However, some teachers hesitate to promote learner autonomy. If they remain uncertain about the…

The aim of the paper is gathering evidence of the series of benefits of technology integration in English language teaching and learning, if there are so, what obstacles and challenges emerge and how they are overcome. This study investigates series of experiences, benefits of integrating technology in English Language learning in Indonesia.…

This paper studies students engagement in e-learning environments in which students work independently and solve problems without external supervision. We propose a new method to infer engagement patterns of users in such self-directed environments. We view engagement as a continuous process in time, measured along chosen axes that are derived…

The goal of this study is to explore the impact of a technology-integrated project-based learning intervention (ReaLabs) on students' learning attitudes, behaviours and self-regulated learning (SRL). A group of 49 mechanical engineering students was taught using this intervention and a group of 50 students in the same specialty was taught using…

Computer-assisted language learning (CALL) benefits from undeniable steps forward such as the use of authentic materials, real communicative contexts and the ubiquity of learning. However, to discriminate the quality of digital resources for autonomous language learning from a critical perspective is not an easy task due to its diversity. This…

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…

The purpose of diagnostic language assessment is to identify learner strengths and weaknesses so that subsequent learning activity can be planned according to learner needs, a purpose which aligns with pedagogical recommendations to individualize instruction. Indeed, the extent to which diagnostic assessment can inform the selection of…
