Reading comprehension and writing are essential skills for success in modern societies. Additionally, reading and writing have been described as highly reflective activities that necessitate metacognitive monitoring and control. However, reading comprehension and writing are skills moderated by many factors, proficiency among them. Thus, in the…

This randomized controlled trial explored the effects of parental reminiscing training on preschoolers' memory and metacognition among French-speaking White parents and their typically developing children (24 females, 20 males; M[subscript months] = 49.64) in Belgium. Participants were assigned, with age stratification, to the immediate…

Objective: This study examines the psychometrics of the 15-item version of the Five-Factor Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ-15). Participants: An ethnically diverse sample of 538 college students participated in this study. Methods: The factor structure was evaluated through confirmatory factor analyses fitting 64 alternative models with and…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact explicit teaching of metacognition had on preservice teachers' metacognitive awareness and accuracy of whole group discussions using virtual simulations. One class of preservice teachers was randomly assigned to the explicit metacognitive teaching group, while the other class was assigned to…

The paper reports an empirical study on the relationship between middle school students' understanding of nature of science (NOS) and their metacognitive awareness. The reconceptualised family resemblance approach to the nature of science (RFN) (Erduran & Dagher, 2014; Kaya & Erduran, 2016) as a holistic framework that covers science as…

Teacher stress is an international issue that is crucial for the stability and effectiveness of educational systems worldwide. Consequently, there has been a longstanding interest in the factors that cause occupational stress for teachers and ways to eliminate them. In this regard, the importance of teachers' social-emotional competence, which…

Background: For engineers who aim to address sustainability challenges, participating in transdisciplinary teams is key. Yet developing transdisciplinary knowledge, including systems thinking, metacognition, and empathic thinking, is not well supported in traditional engineering programs. Purpose: The extent to which selected learning activities…

Library instruction is predicated on the assumption that transfer learning can take place, but how do librarians determine whether transfer is occurring? This study examines the use of reflection as a learning theory within the one-shot library instruction classroom to facilitate metacognition and transfer learning. Through the analysis of student…

Based on the tenets of Flow Theory, the study proposes that in-class activities that have the potential to induce the experience of flow--a state of deep absorption and enjoyment of tasks at hand--among students are likely to increase students' engagement. Specifically, the study examined the effects of three in-class activity factors (i.e.,…

A bulk of research has shown strong relationships between metacognition, creative thinking, autonomy support, and self-efficacy among teachers. However, we could not find research with a large sample of teachers exploring the mediating effects of creative thinking and metacognition on the relationship between autonomy support and self-efficacy. A…

The identification of the thinking styles plays an essential role in determining the educational methods according to the needs of the students. The aim of this study is determination of the relationship between thinking styles, metacognition, and academic achievement of occupational therapy students (OTS). In the 2018-2019 academic year, OTS (n =…

Attachment and resilience are crucial in parent-child interaction. In this study, we investigated the effect of a mindful parenting program on the attachment of deaf children and the resilience of their hearing mothers. The present study was a semi-randomized controlled trial design. Thirty mothers with deaf children were randomly selected from…

Background: Many learners struggle to productively self-regulate their learning. To support the learners' self-regulated learning (SRL) and boost their achievement, it is essential to understand the cognitive and metacognitive processes that underlie SRL. To measure these processes, contemporary SRL researchers have largely utilized think aloud or…

This timely guide will help leaders of color succeed within white spaces while working to dismantle those spaces for a new system where they--and students--thrive. As a leader of color, what do you need to succeed in the systems that often have marginalized the populations you represent? What skills and support will help you to replace these…

The objectives of this research were to 1) study the stress levels of secondary school students in a disrupted classroom situation and 2) propose techniques for managing stress according to the process of contemplative science for secondary school students in a disrupted classroom situation. It is action research. The research samples are 1) 300…
