Skylar J. Laursen; Dorina Sluka; Chris M. Fiacconi – Metacognition and Learning, 2024
Previous literature suggests learners can adjust their encoding strategies to match the demands of the expected test format. However, it is unclear whether other forms of metacognitive control, namely, study time allocation and restudy selection, are also sensitive to expected test format. Across four experiments we examined whether learners…

Karen T. Arnesen; Charles R. Graham; Heather Leary; Alison I. McMurry – Online Learning, 2025
Although self-regulation (SR) has long been seen as an important educational concept, we know little about how to foster it in higher education online student populations. This research addresses this need by introducing an SR intervention into a preservice teacher course. The 30 students who participated used an intervention consisting of weekly…

Esteban Villalobos; Mar Perez-Sanagustin; Roger Azevedo; Cedric Sanza; Julien Broisin – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2024
Blended learning (BL) has become increasingly popular in higher education institutions. Despite its popularity and the advances in methodologies for the detection of learning tactics and strategies from trace data, little is known about how they apply to BL settings and, therefore, how students use them to plan, organize, monitor, and regulate…

Leslie Michelle Bahena Olivares; Ramin Rostampour; Allyson F. Hadwin – Metacognition and Learning, 2024
Task understanding is theorized as a critical aspect of effective learning, but its role in self-regulated learning and overall academic performance has been understudied. Research to date indicates that students with adequate task understanding perform well. However, these studies have not demonstrated what practices are needed for developing…

Kexin Qin; Yehui Wang – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2025
Homework is a self-regulated activity that constitutes a large proportion of learning time. In mathematics, how long is the optimal homework time for achievement development and how to improve homework time efficiency have long been questions. The study examined how mathematics homework time was related to mathematics achievement among Chinese…

Jennifer S. Feenstra; Chika Nwaelugo; Jessica Nibbelink; Andrew De Noble – Discover Education, 2024
Study skills are important for success in college. However, students may not be aware of or willing to use effective strategies such as spaced practice and self-testing. This replication-extension study of Susser and McCabe (Susser and McCabe in Instr Sci 41:345-363, 2013) supports their original findings regarding spaced practice and extends the…

Lydia Bellaouane; Jewel James; Sally Darwiche; Aaron Williams; Ian Piper; Karen Whiting; Ahmed Elbediwy – New Directions in the Teaching of Natural Sciences, 2024
Transferable skills are embedded within assessments throughout Higher Education such as organisation, timekeeping and working as part of a team (during groups assessments) amongst some of the skills. Despite this, there is little evidence to suggest that students are fully aware of the importance of reflective practice upon their personal…
