Studies have shown how school professionals deal with large quantities of student test data and accountability policies in different ways. However, the subtle ways in which school leaders and teachers use their time, their power and their talk when dealing with external policy demands in daily practice is understudied. Using data from interviews…

Background: Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with chronic conditions should acquire self-management skills as part of their healthcare transition (HCT) from pediatric to adult-focused care. HCT/self-management skills have the potential to help mitigate health disparities among minority AYA with chronic conditions. This study investigated school…

People in modern society are media multitaskers due to portable devices and omnipresent wireless networks, and college students are no exception. Previous studies have indicated that students' media multitasking behaviours in class harm their academic performances, and understanding the reasons for college students' engagement in such behaviour is…

Students eligible for special education services for learning disabilities and emotional and behavior disorders often display characteristics that create obstacles to their learning. Mindful breathing, a mindfulness technique, can help students with these disabilities regulate their attention, thoughts, and emotions during academic instruction.…

Although adolescence is characterized by increasing individuation, parental support represents an important resource especially in early adolescence. This multi-informant study examined the role of parental self-efficacy in providing emotional and instrumental support when early adolescents partially learned from home during the COVID-19 pandemic.…

When faced with challenging thinking tasks accompanied by a feeling of uncertainty, people often prefer to opt out (e.g., replying "I don't know", seeking advice) over giving low-confidence responses. In professions with high-stakes decisions (e.g., judges, medical practitioners), opting out is generally seen as preferable to making…

It is assumed that digital tools with ubiquitous classroom use have affordances for student agency and a range of social skills. However, few studies have explored the generalised impact of everyday digital classrooms on self-regulation and empathy, perspective taking and prosocial skills. Ten and 11 year old students' (n = 115) ratings of…

Background: The COVID-19 has accelerated the transition to blended learning (BL) in higher education, prompting a need for further investigation into the efficacy of self-regulated learning strategies (SRLS) in these new educational environments. Objective: The primary goal of this research is to assess the effectiveness of SRLS in BL in higher…

Successful writing requires self-regulated writing because of the complex and demanding nature of writing. Self-regulated writing is based on the interplay of metacognition and motivation. In order to enable students to become better self-regulated writers, certain metacognitive and motivational characteristics such as metacognitive strategy…

Research indicates that students with intellectual disability (ID) frequently engage in off-task and disruptive behaviors, which may lead to the exclusion of these students from general education classrooms and school dropouts. In the current study, researchers implemented self-monitoring to improve the on-task behaviors of four participants with…

Young people with intellectual disability (ID) frequently have challenges with self-regulation that impact their success and participation in daily life. As they often require additional support with self-regulation, it is important to consider regulatory function and skill development within the context of co-regulatory interactions with…

Studies have indicated that self-regulated learning is critical for 21st century learners and lifelong learners, and it can also explain students' learning outcomes. In the current learner-centered instruction, especially in online learning environments, self-regulated learning has become a more critical element for students' success. Given the…
