The study focused on understanding the different patterns of Facebook usage among university students and its impact on their academic performance. It was examined that to what extent Facebook consumption influenced the students' educational performance. "Uses and Gratifications" a theoretical framework was used to analyze consumption…

Gambling disorder is a dramatic phenomenon that is spreading, in Italy as well as around the world, among younger and younger people every year. Activities in mathematics lessons at school can help pre-vent it, but it is necessary to know with which attitudes and beliefs students approach such mathematics lessons, as well as the role of the social…

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to explore the interrelation between internal factors of learners and the external environment. The results of this study help to design a learning environment that improves students' self-efficacy and consequently self-regulated learning (SRL) behaviors of students. Design/methodology/approach: The study…

Research Findings: Preschoolers' vocabulary skills and inhibitory control have been demonstrated critical for later school success; however, the ways in which the individual classroom experiences dynamically interchange with these skills is still unclear. In this paper, we examine the role of children's individual engagement with teachers, peers,…

This study examined long-term mediating effects of the "smalltalk" parenting intervention on children's effortful control at school age (7.5 years; 2016-2018). In 2010-2012, parents (96% female) of toddlers (N = 1201; aged 12-36 months; 52% female) were randomly assigned to either: standard playgroup, "smalltalk" playgroup…

There is growing interest among educational researchers in using heart rate variability (HRV) as an index of children's capacity to regulate their physiological arousal. Links between HRV and young children's self-regulation have, however, been inconsistent, and there is limited research on children's HRV in learning-related contexts. HRV was…

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of writing-to-learn activities on students' academic achievement and self-regulation skills in writing. Using the quasi-experimental design, the study was performed involving 64 eighth grade students, who were studying in two different classrooms at the same secondary school. The students in the…

Learning Analytics (LA) captures the digital footprint of students' online learning activity. This study describes students' navigational behavior in an e-learning setting by processing the LA data obtained from Blackboard LMS. This is an attempt to understand the navigational behavior of students and the relationship with learning performance.…

Executive function (EF) is an early cognitive skill that rapidly develops during the preschool years. One of the common EF issues in young children is inhibitory control. This study investigates the impact of music-movement activities on children's inhibitory control. We designed the music-movement training (MMT) program for preschoolers to…

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of emotion-related video activities in the "Family-Centered I Recognize My Emotions Asynchronous Activity Series" which is prepared for children on children's emotion regulation skills. Within the framework of this main purpose, differences in children's emotion regulation…

The qualitative research presented in this article attempts to show the impact of teacher initiated activities on six-year-old children's metacognitive monitoring and control abilities. The metacognitive model is discussed, research findings that substantiate the development of separate components of metacognitive regulation are analyzed, and the…

Background: Smartphone applications have the potential to support university students for the benefit of learning in higher education. Objective: To design and evaluate the effect of an intra-curricular program using a mobile application on self-regulated learning strategies in university students. Method: The 4Planning mobile application was…

To be successful in online education, learners should be able to self-regulate their learning due to the autonomy offered to them. Accurate measurement of learners' self-regulated learning (SRL) in online education is necessary to determine which learners are in need of support and how to best offer support. Trace data is gathered automatically…

This study investigated the interplay of temporal changes in self-regulated learning processes (i.e., behavioral, cognitive, motivational and emotional) and their relationship with academic achievement in computer-supported collaborative learning. The study employed electrodermal activity and self-report data to capture the dynamicity of…

Although recent years have seen a growing interest in students' experiences of boredom in foreign language learning, scant attention has been paid to this negative emotion in online live classes. With a mixed-methods approach, this study investigated what factors were responsible for student boredom in online live classes and what made Chinese…
