Background/purpose. The increasing prevalence of digital tools in education necessitates models that enhance students' metacognitive skills. Despite this need, limited research exists on structured pedagogical approaches to foster metacognition within digital learning contexts. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the Cognitive Innovation…

It is known that teachers commonly utilize learning platforms equipped with Learning Analytics Dashboards (LAD) to support students in their Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) endeavors. However, students may struggle to effectively employ LAD due to a lack of sufficient metacognitive skills. Co-regulation of learning (CoRL) has been proven to…

Technological advancements are rapidly transforming education, particularly immersive technologies, such as virtual reality (VR). Despite extensive research on VR's potential to enhance learning, its effectiveness in vocational education and training (VET) remains underexplored. This study evaluates the performance of VET students using a VR…

Teaching and learning approaches in the college classroom can be enhanced beyond the traditional lecture by using technological tools and research-based instructional techniques. In particular, instructional technology can allow large numbers of students to engage with content, instructors, and each other in a meaningful learning process.…

As mobile learning (ML) becomes more and more popular, teaching methods are gradually adapting to flipped classrooms or micro-flipped classrooms. Many studies have discussed the influence of ML-based flipped classrooms on students' learning in a macroscopic way. However, at the micro-level, the impact of these classrooms on students' emotional…

The recent movement to integrate the flipped classroom model into higher education has resulted in significant changes that affected both teaching and learning practices in different ways. After almost a decade of research on the flipped classroom model, different emergent outcomes have been reported in a domain specific context. To gain a…

This dissertation consists of five chapters. The first chapter serves to introduce the Modern Learning Environment (MLE) by discussing the challenges of designing and measuring student performance in these novel environments. Chapter two of the dissertation reviews the current research base of studying self-regulated learning in the modern…

The study investigated the effect writing prompts designed to elicit reflective and reflexive thinking could have on participants' self-regulated learning strategies and academic performance. The reflection prompts asked the students to think about the way they were working for the class they were enrolled in and to identify important elements…

The aim of this study is to investigate whether an interactive self-regulation scaffolding increases levels of online learners' self-regulated learning skills, course participation, and learning performance. The intervention utilizes a dialog approach with an intelligent conversational agent to scaffold learners' self-regulated learning. Fifty-six…

Metacognition is a construct that is noteworthy for its relationship with the prediction and enhancement of student performance. It is of interest in education, as well as in the field of cognitive psychology, because it contributes to competencies, such as learning to learn and the understanding of information. This study conducted research at a…

Flipped classrooms have been recognized as a potential approach that enables students to have flexible time to learn before the class as well as more opportunities to apply knowledge and to interact with peers and the teacher in the class. On the other hand, researchers have pointed out the challenge of engaging students in self-regulated learning…

The current study introduces a model for measuring student diligence using online behaviors during intelligent tutoring system use. This model is validated using a full academic year dataset to test its predictive validity against long-term academic outcomes including end-of-year grades and total work completed by the end of the year. The model is…

There is a lack of empirical research surrounding intervention approaches for college students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who often struggle with the executive functioning skills imperative to post-secondary success. The purpose of this study was to investigate the functional relation between use of wearable technology for self-monitoring…

Background: Students' perceived control over academic outcomes has been linked to their use of self-regulated strategies. However, students' sense of responsibility, or internal commitment to produce such outcomes, has not often been considered in this relationship. Aims: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between…

The aim of the present study is to reveal the impact of the interactive environment and metacognitive support (MS) in online learning on academic achievement and transactional distance (TD). The study is designed as 2 × 2 factorial design, and both qualitative and quantitative research techniques are used. The study was carried out on 127…
