Background and Aims: The hypothesis that study strategies can compensate for less study time in predicting learning outcomes has often been proposed but rarely tested empirically. Methods: In the present study, 231 university students reported their daily perceived time spent on self-study, study strategies (planning, monitoring, concentration and…

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…

Personal organization, productivity, and efficient use of one's time represents one of the most ubiquitous and popular subjects within the self-help media marketed to general audiences. Consistent with this view, researchers have established that increased or more effective time management is predictive of improved well-being and performance…

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…

This study investigates the self-regulated learning strategies employed by students in computer programming courses. Utilising the Questionnaire on Learning Strategies in Computer Programming (CEAPC), the research aims to identify specific strategies used by students. The findings reveal a variety of effective learning strategies, including…

Planning longitudinal studies can be challenging as various design decisions need to be made. Often, researchers are in search for the optimal design that maximizes statistical power to test certain parameters of the employed model. We provide a user-friendly Shiny app OptDynMo available at https://shiny.psychologie.hu-berlin.de/optdynmo that…

The COVID-19 pandemic forced the digitalization of education to be accelerated to continue the teaching-learning processes in confined populations. The irruption of this fact caused the evolution that had previously been occurring in the integration of digital technologies, and in general information and communication technologies (ICT), in…

General chemistry is often the first course taken by students interested in careers in STEM and health fields, and therefore, is considered an essential course for the success and retention of students in these fields. Prior studies have shown study habits and skills to be related to student performance in college-level courses, including STEM…

The transition from high school to university often amounts to a muddled process, making it both an exciting and challenging time for many undergraduate students. Integrating both academically and socially is key in this respect. Social support from peers and teaching staff, but also from family and friends, can have a decisive impact. A learning…

Students have different study habits from one another and from location to location. It is a crucial component of education since students' study practices have a big effect on their achievement in academics. Parents, educators, administrators, and members of the public are increasingly concerned about the poor level of mathematical comprehension…

Ferrari (2010) stated 20-25% of people self-identified as chronic procrastinators, which is a common self-regulatory failure involving stalling the initiation or completion of important duties or responsibilities until the last minute, after a predetermined deadline, or indefinitely (Dryden, 2000). This study is the first attempt to translate and…

Background: Measuring students' self-regulation skills is essential to understand how they approach their learning tasks in order to identify areas where they might need additional support. Traditionally, self-report questionnaires and think aloud protocols have been used to measure self-regulated learning skills (SRL). However, these methods are…

Longitudinal studies provide developmental science with invaluable information about how variables and the associations between variables change across time, but typically give limited attention to the length of time over which that change occurs. The present study re-analyzed data from previously published meta-analyses of longitudinal data…

Learning path generation involves the computation of learning trajectories to personalize academic instruction to prevent school problems. The Educational Planning Problem (EPP) considers generating personalized learning paths by scheduling activities that satisfy expected grades while minimizing plans makespan. In this work, we propose two…

This study aims to examine the effects of self-control and future time perception on social media addiction and academic procrastination and determine whether social media addiction affects academic achievement through academic procrastination. A total of 559 university students participated. The participants' most commonly used social media…
