This study investigated at-risk freshmen's "future-oriented motivation" (motivation for developing and pursuing academic future goals) and "future-oriented self-regulated learning" (commitment to utilizing self-regulatory strategies to achieve those goals) using the Persistent Academic Possible Selves Scale (PAPSS). Study goals…

The use of self-correction strategy helps students to detect their own mistakes and self-correct them, thereby students self-regulate their own learning processes. It is still a strategy that is rarely researched in mathematics learning, particularly at the primary level. This study attempts to fill in the gaps by determining the effectiveness…

Despite widespread calls for the incorporation of mathematical modeling into the undergraduate biology curriculum, there is lack of a common understanding around the definition of modeling, which inhibits progress. In this paper, we extend the "Rule-of-Four," initially used in calculus reform efforts, to a "Rule-of-Five"…
