Migrant children are more likely to experience challenging circumstances and exhibit greater emotional and behavioral difficulties than native children. Nowadays, mindfulness training (MT) has been employed as a means of enhancing health-related outcomes in children and adolescents, with promising results. The present study employed a randomized…

Theories of self-regulated learning suggest a positive link between knowledge monitoring accuracy (the ability to predict test performance) and performance on tests. Put differently, students who accurately monitor their knowledge of course content more efficiently regulate study of course materials. However, a plethora of literature indicates…

Background: Hypertension (HTN) is a serious medical disease and the main cause of cardiovascular diseases and premature death worldwide. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of online mindfulness-based stress reduction (OMBSR) on systolic blood pressure (BP), diastolic blood pressure (BP), and heart rate (HR) in…

This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of school-based mindfulness training on learning burnout of Chinese middle school students and the mediating role of psychological resilience between dispositional mindfulness and learning burnout. A cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted with repeated measurement analysis, in which 62…

Metacognition is important for successful goal-directed behavior. It consists of two main elements: metacognitive knowledge and online awareness. Online awareness consists of monitoring and self-regulation. Metacognitive sensitivity is the extent to which someone can accurately distinguish their own correct from incorrect responses and is an…

Background: Learning analytics dashboards (LAD) have been developed as feedback tools to help students self-regulate their learning (SRL) by using the large amounts of data generated by online learning platforms. Despite extensive research on LAD design, there remains a gap in understanding how learners make sense of information visualised on LADs…

While creativity has traditionally been linked to arts education, the importance of developing the ability to think creatively across the school curriculum has grown in prominence (James et al. 2019), reflected by its inclusion in OECD PISA 2022 for the first time (OECD, 2024). Creativity enables learners to thrive in a rapidly evolving workplace,…

With the increasing reliance on digital platforms, mobile game-based phone applications provide avenues to enhance learning of complex chemical concepts. This research developed a mobile game-based phone application designed to simulate the qualitative inorganic analysis of cations, determine its effects on learning, and examine students' insights…

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to explore mindfulness and self-compassion teachings and practices embedded in a leadership course and their outcome on stress regulation of doctoral-level students. Design/methodology/approach: Eight valid and reliable pre-and post-assessment inventories were administered prior to the first week of class and…

Health professions educators are increasingly encouraged to implement "desirable difficulties" in their instruction, such as interleaved practice. In practical context, however, there is limited empirical evidence regarding the (meta)cognitive benefits of desirable difficulties, and interleaved practice in particular, posing a challenge…

We collected data on students' self-assessment behavior from four sections of a Calculus II course. Students were asked to write their expected scores on each of the weekly in-class quizzes and problems in the exams, immediately after they completed them. They were then asked to justify their expectation in writing. One-on-one interviews were…

The purpose of this study is twofold, to examine gifted students' parents' (n=202) irrational belief levels and the level of mindful parenting, and to investigate whether or not gifted students' parents' irrational belief levels explain the parents' level of mindful parenting. The results showed that the level of mindful parenting was not low and…

This study examined the effects of Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) on selfcompassion and emotion regulation skills in 8- to 12-year-old children diagnosed with cancer. The study was conducted using a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The participants were children undergoing long-term cancer treatment at Necmettin Erbakan University…

Preparing for exams in introductory biology classrooms is a complex metacognitive task. Focusing on lower achieving students (those with entering ACT scores below the median at our institution), we compared the effect of two different assignments distributed ahead of exams by dividing classes in half to receive either terms to define or open-ended…

Artificial intelligence (AI) driven chatbots provide instant feedback to support learning. Yet, the impacts of different feedback types on behavior and brain activation remain underexplored. We investigated how metacognitive, affective, and neutral feedback from an educational chatbot affected learning outcomes and brain activity using functional…
