Objective: To explore differences in mindfulness, happiness, and perceived anxiety in a sample of college students before and after taking a meditation course. Participants: Participants were college students at a primarily undergraduate institution enrolled in an experiential meditation class (n = 74) and a non-meditation class comparison group…

The loss of a dedicated study area due to the transition to remote instruction during COVID-19 disproportionately affected students who had no place for academic work within the home that was free of distraction. This paper describes the creation of an online guide designed to help students re-create the library experience from home to better…

Introduction: Students' learning strategies and self-regulation processes are considered highly important in academic and Physical Education contexts. Educational researchers have called for mixed-method designs to investigate how students learn and not only what they learn. The aim of this literature review was to analyze the use of mixed-method…

In schema-based source monitoring, people mistakenly predict better source memory for expected sources (e.g., oven in the kitchen; "expectancy effect"), whereas actual source memory is better for unexpected sources (e.g., hairdryer in the kitchen; "inconsistency effect"; Schaper et al., 2019b). In three source-monitoring…

The study aims to determine the relationship between metacognitive awareness and social emotional learning skills among gifted and talented students and to determine the effect of metacognitive awareness on social emotional learning skills in line with the relationship detected. It was also aimed to determine whether these concepts differ…

The research explores the metacognitive behaviours demonstrated by secondary school students with different mathematical achievement levels (outstanding, high, moderate and low levels of achievement) during solving a mathematical problem. The research uses a case study method and involves the participation of 36 students. The data, which were…

As the alternative and support to traditional face-to-face education, which requires being in the same place at the same time, distance (online) education practices, which enable to be at the same time but in different places, have become widespread. This research aimed to determine the views of the football trainers regarding distance mental…

In this article, I elucidate the meaning of the act of philosophizing as a research activity in academia. My main thesis is that, as academic philosophers, we need to change our existing relation to thinking in academia, which requires a radical re-evaluation of the ethos, or, the dwelling-place of philosophy. Drawing on Martin Heidegger's…

Students often have misconceptions about learning gleaned from their experiences, the media, or even their parents and teachers. Unfortunately, students' misconceptions about learning are reinforced by traditional classroom instruction. Sometimes when students encounter more robust learning experiences in research-based classrooms, their…

In this study, we aimed to determine metacognition strategies that science teachers use in science lessons and activities they can perform within the scope of these strategies. We used an instrumental qualitative case study design. Research data were collected from science teachers working in public schools during the 2018-2019 academic year. The…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is the metacognitive aspect of learning that goes beyond learning content and skills. With SRL, students are aware of their content understanding and learning progress and use advanced thinking skills to create goals and improve their academic achievement. In this action research, SRL strategies were integrated into…

The aim of this study was to investigate the pre-service teachers' metacognitive activities occurring in the teaching scientific reasoning skills with the POE technique. The participants of the research included six pre-service science teachers who were seniors in the science education department of at a university in the west of Turkey. The…

Metacognitive skills are often considered domain-general, therefore they have the potential to transfer across domains, subjects, and tasks. However, transfer of metacognitive skills seldomly occurs spontaneously. Schuster et al., (2020) showed that training can have beneficial effects on spontaneous near and far transfer of metacognitive skills.…

Contemporary research that looks at self-regulated learning (SRL) as processes of learning events derived from trace data has attracted increasing interest over the past decade. However, limited research has been conducted that looks into the validity of trace-based measurement protocols. In order to fill this gap in the literature, we propose a…

Misconceptions are one of the biggest obstacles in learning mathematics. This study aimed to investigate students' common errors and misunderstandings they cause when defining the angle and the triangle. In addition, we investigated the metacognition/ drawing/ writing/ intervention (MDWI) strategy to change students' understanding of the wrong…
