Kok, Ellen; Hormann, Olle; Rou, Jeroen; Saase, Evi; der Schaaf, Marieke; Kester, Liesbeth; Gog, Tamara – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: Performance monitoring plays a key role in self-regulated learning, but is difficult, especially for complex visual tasks such as navigational map reading. Gaze displays (i.e. visualizations of participants' eye movements during a task) might serve as feedback to improve students' performance monitoring. Objectives: We hypothesized…

Greene, Jeffrey A.; Lobczowski, Nikki G.; Freed, Rebekah; Cartiff, Brian M.; Demetriou, Cynthia; Panter, A. T. – American Educational Research Journal, 2020
First-year courses have been used to bolster college student success, but empirical evidence on their efficacy is mixed. We investigated whether a first-year science of learning course, focused on self-regulated learning, would benefit first-generation college students. We randomly assigned students to a treatment condition involving enrollment in…

McCrudden, Matthew T.; Huynh, Linh; Lyu, Bailing; Kulikowich, Jonna M. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2021
The purpose of this study was to investigate bridging inferences and learning when students with low topic knowledge read multiple complementary biology texts. Using a think-aloud protocol, we assessed students' (n = 74) cognitive processes while they read one text about principles of natural selection and three texts about examples of natural…

Fernandez, Jonathan; Jamet, Eric – Metacognition and Learning, 2017
In addition to serving summative assessment purposes, testing has turned out to be a powerful learning tool. However, while the beneficial effect of testing on learning performances has been confirmed in a large body of literature, the question of exactly how testing influences cognitive and metacognitive processes remains unclear. We therefore…

De Backer, Liesje; Van Keer, Hilde; Valcke, Martin – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2015
Although successful learning in university education can be advanced by students' competence to self-regulate their learning, students often possess insufficient metacognitive regulation skills to regulate their learning adequately. The present study investigates changes in university students' adoption of metacognitive regulation after…

Moos, Daniel C.; Bonde, Caitlin – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2016
This study examined the effectiveness of embedding self-regulated learning (SRL) prompts in a video designed for the flipped class model. The sample included 32 undergraduate participants who were randomly assigned to one of two conditions: control (video) or experimental (video + SRL prompts). Prior knowledge was measured with a pre-test, SRL was…

Wang, Jingying; Wen, Ming-Lee; Jou, Min – Interactive Learning Environments, 2016
Practical training and actual application of acquired knowledge and techniques are crucial for the learning of technical skills. We established a wireless sensor network system (WSNS) based on the 5E learning cycle in a practical learning environment to improve students' reflective abilities and to reduce difficulties for the learning of technical…

Deconinck, Julie; Boers, Frank; Eyckmans, June – Language Teaching Research, 2017
If known words can be defined psycholinguistically as "form-meaning mappings", the present article investigates whether prompting learners to evaluate whether the form of a new second language (L2) word fits its meaning generates "mapping elaborations" that aid recall. Thirty Dutch-speaking upper-intermediate learners of…

Diaz Larenas, Claudio; Ramos Leiva, Lucía; Ortiz Navarrete, Mabel – PROFILE: Issues in Teachers' Professional Development, 2017
This paper reports on a study about the rhetoric, metacognitive, and cognitive strategies pre-service teachers use before and after a process-based writing intervention when completing an argumentative essay. The data were collected through two think-aloud protocols while 21 Chilean English as a foreign language pre-service teachers completed an…

Trevors, Gregory; Muis, Krista R. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2015
We investigated the online and offline effects of learner and instructional characteristics on conceptual change of a robust misconception in science. Fifty-nine undergraduate university students with misconceptions about evolution were identified as espousing evaluativist or non-evaluativist epistemic beliefs in science. Participants were…

Jiang, Lin; Xu, Xin – English Language Teaching, 2016
A continuation task provides learners with a text with its ending removed and requires them to complete it through writing in a most coherent and logical way. The current study investigated (a) whether the continuation task had a positive effect on text cohesion and (b) whether texts produced by pairs exhibited higher cohesion than those produced…

Ramos, Adolfo R.; Esslinger, Kerry; Pyle, Elizabeth – Physical Educator, 2015
The purpose of this study was to examine pre-service teachers' (PTs) ability to deliver feedback, which has been used as a process variable in identifying teacher-effectiveness and an established NASPE standard for beginning teachers. These questions guided the study: 1. Will overall feedback interactions delivered by PTs reach 45 per video? 2.…

De Backer, Liesje; Van Keer, Hilde; Valcke, Martin – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2012
It is widely recognized that metacognition is an important mediator for successful and high-level learning, especially in higher education. Nevertheless, a majority of higher education students possess insufficient metacognitive knowledge and regulation skills to self-regulate their learning adequately. This study explores the potential of…

Castro Superfine, Alison; Li, Wenjuan; Bragelman, John; Fisher, Amanda – Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 2015
Noticing children's mathematical thinking is an important aspect of what teachers need to know. This study explores the role of videocases in supporting preservice elementary teachers' noticing of children's mathematical thinking. Findings from a quasi-experimental study of preservice teachers' engagement with videocases indicate no significant…

Deane, Thomas; Nomme, Kathy; Jeffery, Erica; Pollock, Carol; Birol, Gulnur – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2014
Interest in student conception of experimentation inspired the development of a fully validated 14-question inventory on experimental design in biology (BEDCI) by following established best practices in concept inventory (CI) design. This CI can be used to diagnose specific examples of non-expert-like thinking in students and to evaluate the…
