Adaptive action-related reactions to errors, i.e. (meta-)cognitive processes and behaviours directly aimed at overcoming an error, have been proposed to benefit learning outcomes. However, causally interpretable findings are sparse in the current literature. Addressing this research deficit, the present study aimed at investigating whether…

Background: Interest in the potential of learning from errors to benefit innovation and organizational and personal growth is currently increasing. In practice, individuals frequently do not appear to learn spontaneously from errors and setbacks without support. Based on prior work, this paper considers antecedents and consequences of adaptive…

Perfectionism is widely recognised as a key factor in students' learning experiences, but such evidence is primarily derived from cross-sectional studies testing unidirectional links. To fill in the gap, our study used a longitudinal design and made the initial attempt to examine the bi-directional links between two types of perfectionism…

The study aimed to explore the perception of pre-service teachers regarding the use of the red pen for corrections. A non-random sample of twelve (12) respondents, consisting of three experienced tutors from the Mathematics, Science, and English Departments, along with nine pre-service teachers, were interviewed. The data was analysed…

Because of the improvement-oriented nature of peer-feedback activities, students have to deal with errors (e.g., spelling and argumentation errors) when providing and processing peer-feedback on writing assignments. Despite the central role of errors in feedback activities, it is uncertain how students deal with errors and whether the dealing with…

This two-part study describes a learning exercise including a video and a worksheet designed to raise students' awareness of the need to evaluate the completeness of references generated by ChatGPT. The first part of the study assesses the completeness and relevance of academic references generated by ChatGPT using four prompts and three versions…

This study investigated the relative effectiveness of immediate and delayed corrective feedback on the acquisition of -ing/-ed participial adjectives by Spanish English-as-a-foreign-language learners in video-based computer-mediated communication. Fifty-two participants took part in a communicative task in one of four groups (two experimental and…

Background: Students make many errors in visual programming. In order to learn from these, it is important that students regulate their emotions and view errors as learning opportunities. Aims: This study aimed to explore to what extent momentary emotions, specifically enjoyment, anxiety and boredom, as well as the error learning orientation of…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining wide attention in second language learning as a beneficial tool. The current research investigates EFL learners' perceptions and usage of AI applications among 68 undergraduate English language major students. The aim is to enhance students' awareness of valuable AI applications and involve them with AI…

Teachers serve as role models in dealing with errors. They play a crucial role in creating a positive error climate in the classroom. Students with emotional and behavioural disorders (EBD) make more errors during learning activity, tend to dysregulate error-specific emotions, and are more likely to receive negative teacher feedback. In…

Peer-feedback can be an effective method to support learning. However, students often require instructional support to provide and process peer-feedback effectively. Previous research used various types of instructional support to improve the quality of peer-feedback processes and outcomes. Yet, a comprehensive overview over their effects is…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool in academic writing, leveraging advanced algorithms and natural language processing to significantly improve efficiency, quality and productivity. This study investigates the use of AI tools among Indonesian doctoral students, with a particular focus on ethical standards and their…

Metacognition in L2 listening has garnered attention, but there is limited research on concrete methods to practice it in high school EFL contexts. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of self-annotation interventions in a high school EFL listening classroom. Through the analysis of pre- and post-listening tests, students' annotations…

Giving feedback has always been the backbone of the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing class. Written corrective feedback focuses on responding to students' written work by extensively correcting their errors or offering constructive suggestions for improvements. The process of digitalization of education offered an alternative to…

Success in science and mathematics courses, and later in careers, requires more than disciplinary knowledge and general academic competencies. Students also need proficiency in certain key dispositions and life skills. This article is a systematic review of literature that examines what teachers believe about the non-academic skills necessary for…
