This paper investigated the effect of active learning techniques on academic performance and learning retention in the fourth-grade science course. This study adopted a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. Active learning techniques were applied in the experimental group, while the control group continued their routine…

The aim of the study was to examine the effect of the educational practice including growth-mindset strategies on the self-efficacy, self-regulation, academic achievement and mind development scores of 8th grade students who are continuing their secondary education in Turkey. In order to examine the effect of the use of growth-mindset strategies…

This study aims to explore the autonomy level and use of language learning strategies in a preparatory school of a state university before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. One hundred fifty-five preparatory school students from a state university participated in the research. For the data collection, Oxford's Language Learning Strategy (LLS) and…

Reflection journal writing is recognized as an effective learning activity in facilitating learners' self-regulative skills and abilities and their academic performance in the literature. It is evident that self-regulation is of vital importance in learning. Hence, this study aims to investigate self-reflective journal writing on university…

The purpose of this study is to investigate a mathematically gifted student's self-regulation behaviours while constructing and consolidating mathematical knowledge. However, the objective is to determine which self-regulation strategies influence this student's mathematical abstraction process. The case study method was used in the research. As…

This research attempts to add to the existing literature of language learning strategy uses by advancing our understanding of what language learning strategies (LLS) are preferred by learners who were given a one-year English education at two state universities and to find out whether strategy uses were directly related to being successful in…

Teachers' technological experiences are constrained by limitations in reflective decision-making and theoretical frameworks. Challenges with the technological pedagogical content knowledge framework (TPACK) are often associated with deficits in self-regulation. To effectively develop TPACK, it is recommended that educators focus on enhancing…

This article aims to reveal the results of an experimental study aiming to identify the effects of language learning strategies instruction (LLSI henceforth) based on learning styles on reading comprehension of EFL learners at the preparatory school of a state university in Turkey. 52 preparatory school students were given strategy instruction…

The main aim of this study is specifically designed to find out how to develop game materials and hopefully come out with results providing insight to the question How can we easily memorize vocabulary items and how can we promote effective ways to learn English vocabulary in a relaxed manner. The findings suggest that the use of games in foreign…

In related research, learning approaches and learning strategies have been reported as important variables influencing the quality of student learning. The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship between the learning approaches and the language learning strategies of higher education students. The research was conducted with…

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of interactive boards applications supported by computer simulations on pre-service science teachers' self-regulated learning. Quasi-experimental research with pre test/post test control group design was used in the study. Pre-service science teachers in Siirt University, education faculty,…

In the EFL, ESL, ESP and in the ELT classes, students are taught their courses with different kinds of methods and approaches. Cognitive learning styles are the most essential styles in foreign language education. In this paper, the positive effects of cognitive learning styles will be handled. The benefits of these styles will be highlighted.…

The current study aimed to identify teacher candidates' learning strategies and academic self-efficacy levels. Furthermore, the correlations between these variables and gender and departments were looked into. The study was mainly descriptive and correlational. The sample of the study consisted of 256 teacher candidates enrolled at a faculty of…

Writing is regarded as the most challenging task and the most difficult language skill among EFL students. Students need to employ different cognitive strategies in order to convey the meaning to the reader. Due to the complexity of the process, students display negative attitudes towards writing and the level of success is low. This study…

This study examines master's and doctoral theses on English preparatory classes at tertiary level in Turkey in terms of completion year, thesis type, subject areas, data types, research design, sample groups, problem statements and recommendations. This study is a systematic review of literature and the data was collected through document analysis…
