Xin Tang; I-Chien Chen; Jari Lavonen; Barbara Schneider; Joseph Krajcik; Katariina Salmela-Aro – Frontline Learning Research, 2025
Engagement can be situative and, when it occurs, a number of experiences will co-occur. The present study examined the co-occurred experiences of optimal learning moments (OLM), a type of situated engagement, using the novel network analysis and including data from two countries: Finland and the US. Both samples were from high schools and were…

Fernando Núñez-Regueiro – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
Self-determination theory (SDT) proposes to explain the relations between motivational states and human development. In education, a central tenet of the theory is that experiencing autonomous motivation in school activities (i.e., genuine pleasure and enjoyment) fosters optimal learning processes, whereas experiencing controlled motivation (i.e.,…

Rebecca Y. P. Kan – Higher Education Research and Development, 2025
The in-between space ignites learning as individuals journey from dependence on the institution to independence from the institution. This space has hitherto been holistically undefined in the context of higher arts education. The study aims to explore such experiences within the lifeworld of student scholars in the fields of arts and design.…

Katarína Kotuláková; Lubica Janošcová; Natália Priškinová; Katerina Trcková – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2024
The purpose of "practical work" in chemistry lessons as perceived by teachers varies and does not always correspond with an emphasis on procedural learning. Teachers project various objectives in them. These activities have various characteristics and potential. The goal of this study is to find out the set of characteristics of…

D'Mello, Sidney K. – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2016
There is an inextricable link between attention and learning, yet AIED systems in 2015 are largely blind to learners' attentional states. We argue that next-generation AIED systems should have the ability to monitor and dynamically (re)direct attention in order to optimize allocation of sparse attentional resources. We present some initial ideas…

Hundhausen, C. D.; Olivares, D. M.; Carter, A. S. – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2017
In recent years, learning process data have become increasingly easy to collect through computer-based learning environments. This has led to increased interest in the field of "learning analytics," which is concerned with leveraging learning process data in order to better understand, and ultimately to improve, teaching and learning. In…

Pokrovskaia, Nadezhda N.; Leontyeva, Veronika L.; Ababkova, Marianna Yu.; D'Ascenzo, Fabrizio – Education Sciences, 2021
Research on behavior regulation was carried out after several months of social isolation, provoked by the pandemic, between the months of February and March 2020. In spring 2020, many higher education institutions began to introduce digital tools of education, remote learning, and distance teaching. The reaction during the first weeks and months…

Cappetta, Rossella; Magni, Massimo – International Journal of Training and Development, 2015
Organizations are increasingly investing in training programs for building managerial skills, with a special focus on employees considered "talents" who must be prepared to cover strategic roles within the organization. One of the main goals of such programs is to develop participants' learning in order to tap their potential in a short…

Aksoy-Pekacar, Kadriye; Kanat-Mutluoglu, Arzu; Erten, Ismail Hakki – Eurasian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2020
As part of the research on motivation, causal attribution studies have an important role in predicting and improving academic performance since controllable and uncontrollable attributions have an effect on learners' future actions. Following this path, the present qualitative study investigates the attributions of students in an English Language…

Rahimi, Ebrahim; van den Berg, Jan; Veen, Wim – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2015
In recent educational literature, it has been observed that improving student's control has the potential of increasing his or her feeling of ownership, personal agency and activeness as means to maximize his or her educational achievement. While the main conceived goal for personal learning environments (PLEs) is to increase student's control by…

Buckner, Marjorie M.; Strawser, Michael G. – Communication Education, 2016
As opposed to the "place where you were forced to consider new ideas, to meet new people, to ask new questions, and to learn to think, to socialize, to imagine" (Fitzgerald, 2012, p. 20), millennial students view college as a financial rather than philosophical training ground (Berrett, 2015). Unfortunately, this perspective…

Chodkiewicz, Alicia R.; Boyle, Christopher – Educational Psychology in Practice, 2014
This paper looks at current research into how thinking influences learning. How people explain to themselves "why" they fail and succeed inevitably impacts on how well they learn new skills. Researchers have been developing attribution retraining programmes targeted at improving student academic achievement and learning experience…

Svihla, Vanessa; Reeve, Richard – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2016
While problem solving is a relatively well understood process, problem framing is less well understood, particularly with regard to supporting students to learn as they frame problems. Project-based learning classrooms are an ideal setting to investigate how teachers facilitate this process. Using participant observation, this study investigated…

Boyer, Stefanie L.; Edmondson, Diane R.; Artis, Andrew B.; Fleming, David – Journal of Marketing Education, 2014
A meta-analytic review of self-directed learning (SDL) research over 30 years, five countries, and across multiple academic disciplines is used to explore its relationships with five key nomologically related constructs for effective workplace learning. The meta-analysis revealed positive relationships between SDL and internal locus of control,…
