Hong, Wonjoon; Bernacki, Matthew L. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Undergraduates often report problematic perceptions of low value and high cost in their initial science courses. These beliefs often predict poor performance and retention, and also strengthen over time. Few studies have examined how profiles of value and cost beliefs emerge, and fewer track students' transitions across profiles over a course and…

Akiko Fukuda – AILA Review, 2024
The present study explored different types of task value and their associations with the use of self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies across various English as a foreign language (EFL) learning scenarios. The application of SRL strategies is supported by motivational beliefs, including task value. Although prior research has demonstrated the…

Laryea, Krystal; Paepcke, Andreas; Mirzaei, Kathy; Stevens, Mitchell L. – Journal of Higher Education, 2021
Researchers have investigated the demography and styles of engagement of those who enroll in MOOCs but have lent little attention to how learners navigate MOOCs' ambiguity as academic certifications. Analyzing semi-structured interviews with 60 people who devoted substantial time to at least one MOOC between 2014-2017, we find that people use…

Tareen, Hashmatullah; Haand, Mohammad Tahir; Muhammadi, Attaullah; Zhang, BaoHui – Issues in Educational Research, 2023
The concept of self-regulated learning in the field of educational psychology has been developed to comprehend how students learn autonomously. Motivation is a pivotal factor in learners' academic outcomes, and its connection with self-regulated learning is extensive. While self-regulated learning and motivational beliefs are both believed to play…

Tossavainen, Timo; Rensaa, Ragnhild Johanne; Johansson, Monica – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
We examine a group (N = 88) of Swedish first-year engineering students, their motivation, self-efficacy, and beliefs about the nature of mathematics, and how these relate to their task performance in mathematics. In our data, engineering students who emphasized the exact reasoning in their view of mathematics performed significantly better in a…

Prendergast, Mark; Ríordáin, Máire Ní; Shúilleabháin, Aoibhinn Ní; Johnson, Patrick; O'Rourke, Iseult – Issues in Educational Research, 2020
A teacher's attitude towards a subject has a major influence on their learning and subsequent teaching of that subject. This has a knock-on effect on the development of their own students' attitudes. However, despite such importance there has been a dearth of research in this area, particularly in relation to the attitudes of pre-service secondary…

Buzza, Dawn; Fitzgerald, Carolyn; Avitzur, Yoad – McGill Journal of Education, 2022
This study examines how one teacher supported low-achieving students' self-regulated learning (SRL) in the context of a secondary mathematics class. The teacher's scaffolding provided students with multiple opportunities to use feedback and adapt learning and study strategies. Data compared pre- and post-measures of metacognitive skills,…

Martin, Hector; Craigwell, Renaldo; Ramjarrie, Karrisa – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
The influence of grit on engineering student's achievement has been understudied. The association between grit, self-regulated learning (SRL), and academic achievement in civil engineering students was investigated using correlation and regression analysis. One hundred and one civil engineering students from various nationalities completed a…

Bosch, Chantelle; Mentz, Elsa; Reitsma, Gerda Marie – International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning, 2019
Extensive research has been done on the implementation of cooperative learning (CL) in a face-to-face classroom. However, only a few studies could be found on the implementation of CL in a blended learning environment. The implementation of CL in such an environment is a challenging goal for facilitators. It requires a commitment to change and the…
