This research aims to examine the self-regulation of students with different achievement levels toward science learning based on Zimmerman's model including three phases: forethought, performance, and self-reflection. The research was conducted based on the case study from the qualitative research method. The study group consisted of 12 students…

Researchers have pointed out the important role of self-regulation in learning. The self-regulated learning (SRL) process consists of three stages (i.e. forethought, performance, and self-reflection), each of which could involve different strategies for achieving the aim of SRL. To enable researchers and teachers to have a whole picture of how…

Purpose: Social media has shown a substantial influence on the daily lives of students, mainly due to the overuse of smartphones. Students use social media both for academic and non-academic purposes. Due to an increase in the usage of social media, academicians are now confronting pedagogical issues, and the question arises as to whether the use…

The present study investigates the relationship between working memory capacity, cognitive regulation, and academic achievement for university students. Additionally, it examines whether working memory capacity and/or cognitive regulation can predict academic achievement. For the 139 university students who took part in the study, working memory…

The research investigated relationships amongst beliefs about the self-regulation of learning (SRL), study strategies and academic performance in 366 pre-service teachers. A Beliefs about Learning and Teaching (BALT) Questionnaire was used to examine beliefs that were both consistent and inconsistent with SRL. The final model emerging from the…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) has been linked to improved learning and corresponding learning outcomes. However, there is a need for more precise insights into how SRL during learning contributes to specific learning outcomes. We operationalised four learning outcomes that varied on two dimensions: structure/connectedness and level/deepness of…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify and describe how students experience academic coaching in higher education in Norway. Design/methodology/approach: The study employed a descriptive and exploratory qualitative design where semi-structured interviews formed the basis for data collection. Thematic analysis was used as an analytic…

Student motivation varies quickly, particularly under the pressing context. However, extant literature tends to focus on the individual, rather than contextual, differences in motivational patterns. We examined Korean adolescents' time-varying pursuits of achievement goals and learning outcomes using the experience sampling method, which collects…

This research was a qualitative phenomenological study and its purposes were to (1) understand the meaning of self-regulated learning and excellence from the perspectives of students, administrators, teachers, and parents of students who have achieved learning success; (2) study the self-regulated learning process of successful students through…

This paper provides a comprehensive review of the role of self-regulation for academic achievement and behavior in the early childhood education classroom. It discusses neurocognitive processes involved in self-regulation including response inhibition, voluntary attention, and working memory. Response inhibition creates a delay in responding which…

The Big Five-Factor personality traits are examined in the present review. Individual characteristics and personality types may contribute differently to choices of learning strategies and overall cognitive performance. The purpose of this paper is twofold: (1) to provide a brief overview of consistent research findings on personality constructs…

This study investigated how motivational strategies predict ninth graders' mathematical problem-solving achievements. The students were grouped based on their school types as students who have high and moderate academic achievements. Quantitative data were collected by motivational strategies for Learning questionnaire and routine/nonroutine…

The Phenomenological Variant of Ecological Systems theory (PVEST) proposes that an individual's identity is formed as a result of the daily life events they experience and their cultural background (McGee & Spencer, 2013; McGee & Spencer, 2012; Spencer, 2011; Spencer et. Al, 2015). PVEST uses a systems-oriented human development…

The aim of this study was to investigate the direction of the effect between goal orientation, self-regulation and deep processing strategies in order to understand the impact of these three constructs on students' achievement. The participants were 110 freshmen from the engineering faculty at the Universite catholique de Louvain in Belgium, who…

The relation of self-regulation measured prior to school entry to developing math and reading ability in prekindergarten through the second grade was examined in a prospective longitudinal sample of 1,292 children and families in predominantly rural and low-income communities in 2 regions of high poverty in the United States. Direct assessments of…
