HyFlex is the new model that has emerged in education, combining traditional classroom instruction with online instruction, thus offering learners more flexibility and freedom in their learning life cycle. This paper discusses the background, principles, benefits, and challenges, and whether it can transform higher education. Based on the current…

The student's perspectives, their personal and professional aspirations are key factors that encourage their achievement of learning objectives during the development of the subjects of the educational programs. All this from Hermans' theory of the dialogic self, to understand how the processes of educational change are perceived, from the visions…

Personal Learning Environment (PLE) represents a shift of learning paradigm towards learner-centered pedagogy, where users become masters of their own learning. PLEs are best used by learners with Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) abilities. Previous research showed that learners felt lost or socially isolated in PLEs due to their limited SRL…

A tutor and a student together propose a model for integrated student and staff engagement that concentrates on developing students' core abilities. They build upon their respective experiences of self-managed problem-based learning and of the purposeful promotion of core abilities. They explore the potential of collaborative interaction between…

Playful learning has garnered supporters and research evidence, and also can be seen as nebulous and, therefore, reliant on practitioners' intuitions in early education settings. In this paper, we offer an explicit theoretical account, grounded in developmental psychology of how play might support the acquisition of broad skills and dispositions…

The aim of this meta-analysis is to take a small step forward from the separate observation of the self-regulatory construct and the relationship of variables that seek to explain it, define its structure more clearly and make it available in practice. For this purpose, the question arises regarding the relationship between personality traits and…

Emergent multilingual English as an additional language literacy learners (EALLs) have unique learning needs as they are learning to read and write for the first time in any language while they are also beginning to develop formal learning strategies that support successful school-based learning. Consequently, EALLs require specialized instruction…

Problem-solving tasks form the backbone of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) curricula. Yet, how to improve self-monitoring and self-regulation when learning to solve problems has received relatively little attention in the self-regulated learning literature (as compared with, for instance, learning lists of items or…

Self-regulated learning (SRL)-promoting practices enhance students' positive academic, social, and emotional development. While effective, these practices are complex and often difficult for teacher candidates (TCs) to learn and implement. This theoretical review presents the benefits and challenges of SRL-promoting practices and examines how TCs'…

What do we know about how well graduate teaching in economics addresses cognitive challenges to learning? In short, very little. There is a dearth of research that investigates how graduate student, program and professor characteristics, and choices impact graduate student learning and other outcomes. Some of the broader literature on graduate…

When analyzing student reflection assignments from a mandatory research methods course, the authors were struck by the tension between students' own approaches to learning and the challenges, uncertainties, and frustrations accompanying their efforts. Students' ideas about what constitutes learning, how learning is to be done, and how they…

In the following paper, the author identifies two overarching challenges in developing effective online learning courses and provides an easy to implement framework to address them. The first challenge is that social activity, a key aspect to learning, often falls short in the development of online learning courses. The second challenge is student…

Background: Several student-centred and game-based approaches have developed in the last 40 years. Publications intended to describe the underlying theory and/or mechanics of each particular teaching/learning model have usually focused on modalities related to teacher-student interactions, taking into account the particular pedagogical content…

Student mental health in higher education has been worsening for some time, even prior to the pandemic, showing up in various ways that learners struggle in online learning and other modalities. More recent research on health, sleep, and chronic illness as aspects of online learner mental fatigue and academic performance suggests that online…

Although the concept of assessment as learning has important educational and practical implications, the utilisation and creation of contexts for assessment as learning in early childhood education are contemporary issues that need to be clarified. The overall goal of this work is to reconceptualise the role of the child portfolio as a tool for…
