Marloes Broeren; Peter Verkoeijen; Lidia Arends; Guus Smeets – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2024
Effective cognitive learning strategies are beneficial for learning and long-term retention. However, higher education students often rely on surface-level strategies like reading and underlining. Interventions to support effective cognitive strategy use have addressed knowledge, beliefs, planning, and commitment. This latter aspect and its…

Dinsmore, Daniel L.; Fryer, Luke K.; Dumas, Denis G. – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
The literature on cognitive processing and strategic processing is murky with regard to how these types of processing influence learning. One reason for this is that the frameworks used to investigate these relations have separately focused on different aspects related to cognitive processing with little integration between them. To address these…

Daryn A. Dever; Megan D. Wiedbusch; Sarah M. Romero; Roger Azevedo – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
Intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) incorporate pedagogical agents (PAs) to scaffold learners' self-regulated learning (SRL) via prompts and feedback to promote learners' monitoring and regulation of their cognitive, affective, metacognitive and motivational processes to achieve their (sub)goals. This study examines PAs' effectiveness in…

Katrina E. Forbes-McKay; Pauline A. M. Bremner; Pamela Johnston; Carol Air – Journal of Applied Research in Higher Education, 2025
Purpose: This study addresses gaps in the existing literature on students' understanding of Independent Learning (IL), whilst exploring the link between levels of IL, growth mindset, motivated strategies for learning and academic performance. Design/methodology/approach: Three hundred and eighty-six university students recruited via opportunistic…

Carvalho, Paulo F.; McLaughlin, Elizabeth A.; Koedinger, Kenneth R. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
In this article, we leverage data from over 1,000 students participating in two different online courses to investigate whether better learning outcomes are associated with student decisions to practice instead of (re-)reading. Consistent with laboratory and classroom findings, we find that students' decisions to practice are related to better…

Brady, Anna C.; Kim, Yeo-eun; Cutshall, Jessica – Journal of College Reading and Learning, 2021
College students do not study in isolated environments; rather, they encounter obstacles as they complete academic tasks. Using a qualitative approach, the present study explored the distractions and underlying causes students face as well as the strategies they use to control these distractions. Our findings suggested that students' distractions,…

He, Jingwen; Liu, Yue; Ran, Tong; Zhang, Danhui – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2023
Feedback plays an important role in self-regulated learning. However, little is known about how students' feedback perception affects their self-regulation process in learning. This study adopted the social cognitive perspective to investigate how students' feedback perception is related to their self-regulated learning, along with the mediating…

Laurejane B. Piano; Maria Elaine D. Tabilog; Camilla J. Vizconde – Journal on English Language Teaching, 2023
The emerging interest in self-directed learning (SDL) in the context of language learning has focused less on specific learning strategies selected by language learners based on their discoveries. Anchored on Boyatzis' Theory of Self directed Learning (2001) and Classifications of Language Learning Strategies by O'Mally and Chamot (1990), and…

Wang, Jingying; Jou, Min – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
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…

Li, Huiyong; Majumdar, Rwitajit; Chen, Mei-Rong Alice; Yang, Yuanyuan; Ogata, Hiroaki – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Self-directed learning (SDL) ability, its usefulness in higher education and life-long learning have been highlighted in previous literature. However, there has been much less understanding of the effects of SDL ability in the school settings, specifically the effects on learners' SDL behaviors and processes. To address this limitation, this study…

Chen, Lijuan; Rodway, Claire – CALICO Journal, 2023
Although there are many studies on distance students' language learning strategies (LLS) use, very little is known about what distinguishes LLS use between synchronous and asynchronous environments. This preliminary mixed-methods research helps to fill this gap by investigating distance students' LLS use in these two environments. The picture of…

Coertjens, Liesje – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2018
Aim: The main aim of this commentary was to connect the insights from the contributions of the special issue on the intersection between depth and the regulation of strategy use. The seven contributions in this special issue stem from three perspectives: self-regulated learning (SRL), model of domain learning (MDL), or the student approaches to…

Shuaizhen Jin; Zheng Zhong; Kunyan Li; Chen Kang – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
This study utilizes a comparative experimental research method to investigate the effect of the Predict, Observe, Explain, and Evaluate (POEE) learning strategy in an immersive virtual environment (IVE) on two types of learners with different levels of prior knowledge. One type referred to as Highly Experienced and Knowledgeable (HEK) learners,…

Viberg, Olga; Kukulska-Hulme, Agnes; Peeters, Ward – International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning, 2023
Mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) research includes examination and development of second language learners' cognitive and metacognitive self-regulated learning skills, but the affective learning component of self-regulation in this context remains largely unexplored. Support for affective learning, which is defined by learners' beliefs,…

Manganelli, Sara; Cavicchiolo, Elisa; Mallia, Luca; Biasi, Valeria; Lucidi, Fabio; Alivernini, Fabio – Educational Psychology, 2019
The present study examined the interplay between self-determined motivation and the use of cognitive strategies in predicting university students' academic performance while taking into account the effect of prior achievement. A theory based model was tested using structural equation modeling on a sample of 764 Italian university students. Results…
