Learning assistant (LA) programs train undergraduate students to foster peer discussion and facilitate active-learning activities in undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) classes. Students who take courses that are supported by LAs demonstrate better conceptual understanding, lower failure rates, and higher…

The purpose of this study is to examine effects of Brain-Based Learning (BBL) method on seventh grade students' metacognitive awareness. Concurrent nested mixed method was used in the study. Thirty 7th grade students (21 girls, nine boys) participated in this study voluntarily. The unit of "Structure and Properties of Matter" was taught…

The study aims to determine the impact of blended learning on the performance of science students and their self-regulation and to identify effective recommendations to improve the effectiveness of blended learning. Third-year students of Kazan Federal University took part in the study. The measurement scale tools adopted in this study included…

This study explored how developing digital literacy skills could influence digital self-efficacy, cognitive load, mindfulness, and productivity among Generation Z college students in Karachi, Pakistan, using the Pauseitive app. With digital tools playing an ever-growing role in education, understanding their impact on students' mental processes…

We investigated whether three interventions -- studying incorrect worked examples, studying correct worked examples, or receiving feedback -- improved children's 0-1,000 (Experiment 1) and adults' 1 thousand--1 billion (Experiment 2) number-line estimation precision relative to a no intervention control group. At pretest, participants estimated…

This study aims to determine the effect of learning activities conducted in accordance with the phenomenon-based learning approach on the metacognitive awareness level of students. Pre-test and post-test control group design of the experimental method was used. The application of the study was carried out in a sample of 60 students studying in the…

This study examines the improvement of first-year students' critical thinking and self-regulation by implementing a metacognitive-based e-module. To address the challenges of learning in accordance with the demands of the higher education curriculum, metacognitive-based e-modules are required. Metacognitive strategies such as analogies, concept…

This study explored the feasibility of using knowledge surveys in a pre-licensure professional nursing program using cognitive and behavioral outcomes.

Restricting one's access to temptations (precommitment) facilitates the achievement of long-term goals. The sophisticated impulsiveness model of precommitment posits that impulsive agents who are aware that they are impulsive should show the strongest preference for precommitment. Empirically however, two central predictions of this theoretical…

The present study examined the effects of a mind-body intervention, often used to decrease symptoms of anxiety, on self-conceptual levels of university students. It was not known if, and to what extent, the combination of mindfulness meditation and group fitness influenced the self-esteem and self-regulation of undergraduate students who…

The growing use of generative AI (GenAI) has sparked discussions regarding integrating these tools into educational settings to enrich the learning experience of teachers and students. Self-regulated learning (SRL) research is pivotal in addressing this inquiry. One prevalent manifestation of GenAI is the large-language model (LLM) chatbot,…

Background: Performance monitoring plays a key role in self-regulated learning, but is difficult, especially for complex visual tasks such as navigational map reading. Gaze displays (i.e. visualizations of participants' eye movements during a task) might serve as feedback to improve students' performance monitoring. Objectives: We hypothesized…

Science and technology advancement in the 21st Century requires several life skills that everyone must learn; critical thinking is one of them. Critical thinking is often defined as a process of metacognition that increases the chances of solving a problem. This research attempted to implement NASA Science as Interactive Multimedia to enhance…

Given the overlap between mindfulness and food neophobia, the current study developed and tested a mindfulness-based intervention to decrease food neophobia in preschoolers. Preschoolers (ages 3-5) participated in 10 sessions of a mindfulness intervention group (n = 27) or a food-exposure control group (n = 25). Children were assessed pre- and…
