This paper addresses learning and development processes in online platform work. Specifically, it proposes a new instrument to survey and analyze self-regulated workplace learning in crowdwork, a type of online platform labor in which a global pool of workers are matched with clients through digital platforms to carry out remunerated tasks.…

The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between sports and self-regulation and school burnout in high school students who are athletes and nonathletes. Relational screening method was used in the research. 387 high school students (188 athletes, 199 non-athletes) participated in the study. The average age of the…

The teaching profession in the researcher's context is becoming a machine-like job because teachers' followership i.e. competence, commitment, courage, and self-management, is least prioritized, and more focus is given only on their regularity and punctuality. Effective followership is desired among the teachers for the achievement of educational…

Recent studies have revealed that the development of self-regulation and social skills in preschool children is important for later academic success, social acceptance and psychological wellbeing. Children who lack these skills are at risk for not being able to socialize and may face rejection behaviors among peers, show aggressive behaviors, or…

Community colleges provide educational, social and professional lifelines for students. Community college students are often characterized by their need to balance school amidst conflicting life needs, such as employment and family. As a result, many community college students struggle to find time to commit to on campus classes. Asynchronous…

Mindfulness awareness practices are a way of life, in eastern cultures of India, Japan, and neighboring countries, who have practiced mindfulness for centuries as meditation or yoga. Steadily increasing student diversity created the need for educators to learn culturally relevant teaching practices based on individual students' cultural values to…

The purpose of the present study was to examine the impact of the Self-Regulatory Instructional Planning Approach (SR-IPA) on the lesson planning and self-regulatory development of a group of six preservice secondary social studies teachers (PSSST). Even though the benefits of self-regulated learning and inquiry-based instruction are well…

We investigated the benefits of two ways to use flashcards to perform retrieval practice: alone versus with a partner. In three experiments, undergraduate students learned word-definition pairs using flashcards alone (Individual condition) or with another student (Paired condition). Participants then made global judgments of learning (gJOLs;…

Metacognition and self-regulation strategies enable students to make, on average, 7 months additional progress. Here I review the report recommendations by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) and introduce some useful strategies to develop more literate and versatile learners. Introducing the meta-learning cycle into lessons as an underlying…

Studies have shown that parental involvement plays an important role in their children's academic success (Castro et al., 2015), but the problem is that many parents do not know how to help their children and often end up creating additional and unnecessary stress for their children as well as having their children develop negative attitudes…

Self-esteem plays a decisive role for students in achievement situations. However, it is still unclear how different self-esteem facets and their interactions influence academic achievement and which psychological mechanisms mediate these relationships. In Study 1, we investigated self-handicapping and effort-management as mediators of the effects…

This study explored how organizational leaders can use Negative Capability to maintain equanimity in the midst of stressful and uncertain situations by asking: what enabling conditions could help business leaders develop Negative Capability in order to creatively meet complexity challenges? It was hypothesized that by creating an experience of…

Online learning has been widely adopted in higher education to reach students who typically would not have a chance to complete accredited courses (Kentnor, 2015). Massive open online courses (MOOC), which is a type of online learning, makes it easier for people to take university courses with internet access and a fraction of cost compared to…

Background: Self-regulation promotes engagement within the classroom. At a physiological level, a good indicator of the ability of the system to self-regulate is cardiac vagal tone (CVT). Aims: The present study aims to assess children's change over time (1 year) in their parasympathetic regulation (by way of CVT) in response to a social and…

Language and self-regulation develop bidirectionally, and they synergistically affect most aspects of acquiring reading proficiency. Children and youth from historically marginalized communities tend to have less expansive knowledge of academic vocabulary and dialect common to instruction and academic text (i.e., General American English), and…
