Personalized problem selection enhances student practice in tutoring systems. Prior research has focused on transparent problem selection that supports learner control but rarely engages learners in selecting practice materials. We explored how different levels of control (i.e., full AI control, shared control, and full learner control), combined…

Educational software data promises unique insights into students' study behaviors and drivers of success. While much work has been dedicated to performance prediction in massive open online courses, it is unclear if the same methods can be applied to blended courses and a deeper understanding of student strategies is often missing. We use pattern…

The present study examined whether the association between teachers' self-efficacy beliefs and academic performance is mediated by their homework's self-efficacy beliefs and use of self-regulatory learning strategies. Path analyses were conducted. The final model revealed that teachers' self-efficacy beliefs have an indirect effect on their…

This study was designed to: (1) determine whether there was higher achievement by students assigned homework or by those not assigned homework; (2) determine whether there was higher achievment by students assigned preparation homework or those assigned practice homework; and (3) determine whether there was higher achievement by females or by…

This student-oriented instructional booklet provides strategies for students for notebook organization, time management, note-taking, reading and highlighting assignments, homework completion, and test-taking. The booklet's first section, "Preparing for Classes," offers tips for keeping a notebook, an assignment sheet, a calendar, a daily and…

Implications of homework as a strategy for educators are considered, based on review of over 1,000 articles and over 84 homework experiments conducted between 1904 and 1984. Homework was defined as taking books and assignments home after school for the purpose of home study. Foyle and Bailey elaborated four types of homework categorized by…

Two experiments involving 226 college students were conducted to determine the relative effectiveness of increasing students' incentive motivation for studying and prescribing a text-processing strategy for them to use in studying. Findings suggest that the use of students' acquired learning strategies depends on their motivational levels. (SLD)

This study examined the predictive association between gender, ethnicity, and homework parental involvement, self-regulated learning processes, and motivational beliefs among 10th grade high school students. It was predicted that students' motivational beliefs and self-regulatory processes would be significant predictors of students' math academic…

This paper presents a literature review on self-regulated learning and then reports two investigations. The two investigations identified situations that seemed likely to afford opportunities for self-regulated learning to occur and followed what parents and teachers did to provide implicit support in these situations. The hypothesis was that the…

Causal path analysis was used to determine the direct and indirect influences of intellectual ability, quality of instruction, achievement motivation, quantity of academic coursework, and time spent on homework on high school students' learning, as measured by their grade point averages (GPAs). Other relevant influences on grades were controlled.…
