The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of short-term mindfulness practices on self-regulation of practice routines in high school instrumental students. We implemented mindfulness techniques prior to at-home practice routines for high school instrumental students (N = 117) over 16 weeks. Using the four-factor model of self-regulation…

This study explores online self-regulated learning skills among high school students in three schools in China's EAST City Y using questionnaires. Results reveal the online self-regulated learning skills of high school students are positioned at an intermediate level, showcasing noteworthy disparities across distinct cohorts of high school…

Due to the necessity to continue learning even during the pandemic, schools opened utilizing distance learning modalities. However, there is a dearth of evidence on the effectivity of this modalities in physics. In this study, we investigated the effects of three physics distance learning modes; the module-only (MO), virtual lab plus module (VLM),…

Little is known about whether a widely used mindfulness measure in adults--the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ)--is also reliable and valid in adolescents. The current study evaluated the psychometric properties of a 20-item short-form FFMQ in a sample of 599 high school students (M[subscript age] = 16.3 years; 49% female) living in the…
