Élisabeth Bélanger; Lorie-Marlène Brault Foisy; Steve Masson – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2025
The main objective of this methodological article is to discuss the contribution of response times as a tool in education research. The use of response times in research is largely a legacy of the work carried out in cognitive psychology, which has made it possible to describe the cognitive processes involved in information processing. In…

Hajer Mguidich; Bachir Zoudji; Aïmen Khacharem – Journal of Experimental Education, 2025
The imagination effect occurs when learners who imagine a procedure perform better on a subsequent test than learners who study it. The present study explored whether this effect is restricted to short-term learning or whether it also applies when learning is tested after a delay. Forty novices and forty experts learned about a basketball game…

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…

Meng-Ting Lo; Fang-Hsin Hsu; Wen-Lan Chen – Educational Psychology, 2024
This study presents a tool to capture students' academic activities and engagement dynamics in university settings. It explores how strategies to manage time and study environments interact with contextual factors (i.e. study time, learning events, and study locations) in predicting students' concentration and cognitive learning strategies in 81…

Pi, Zhongling; Zhang, Yi; Liu, Caixia; Zhou, Weichen; Yang, Jiumin – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
This electroencephalography (EEG) study tested the benefits of generative learning and the underlying neural mechanism of these benefits when learning from video lectures. Twenty-six Chinese young adults independently viewed two video lectures in a repeated measures design. Each video lecture was broken into 40 segments, and after each segment,…

Pingping Zhao; Chun-Yen Chang; Yueyang Shao; Zhi Liu; Hao Zhou; Jian Liu – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2023
Students' problem-solving strategies and the differences among strategy groups were explored by analyzing the process data collected during student interactions with computer-based science items. Data were gathered from 1516 eleventh-grade students from 4 schools in China. Analyses of the sequences of students' response actions revealed that the…

Muhammed K. V.; Mercian Gloria Vivera – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
This study assessed the efficacy of the spaced learning method compared to the activity-oriented method in improving chemistry achievement among high school students, focusing on different cognitive domains. An experimental design involving pre and post-test control groups was employed, with 106 students from two schools participating. The…

Kolburan Geçer, Aynur; Topal, Arzu Deveci – Journal of Learning and Teaching in Digital Age, 2023
The aim of this study is to conduct a validity and reliability study for adaptation of the scale of learning strategies (the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire) to Turkish, which was developed by Pintrich, Smith, Garcia and McKeachie (1991) and adapted by Meijs et al. (2019) for distance education students. The Scale of Learning…

Chen, Ouhao; Paas, Fred; Sweller, John – Educational Psychology Review, 2021
Spaced and interleaved practices have been identified as effective learning strategies which sometimes are conflated as a single strategy and at other times treated as distinct. Learning sessions in which studying information or practicing problems are spaced in time with rest-from-deliberate-learning periods between sessions generally result in…

Xu, Huixuan – Education 3-13, 2021
With the aim to provide proper educational support for socially and economically deprived students, the present study examined a homework tutoring programme that focused on self-regulated learning (SRL) and implemented at an afterschool setting in Hong Kong. The programme was designed according to Zimmerman's SRL model, integrated explicit and…

Rogiers, Amelie; Merchie, Emmelien; van Keer, Hilde – Frontline Learning Research, 2020
The current study uncovers secondary school students' actual use of text-learning strategies during an individual learning task by means of a concurrent self-reported thinking aloud procedure. Think-aloud data of 51 participants with different learning strategy profiles, distinguished based on a retrospective self-report questionnaire (i.e., 15…

Sage, Kara; Piazzini, Michael; Downey, John Charles, IV.; Ewing, Sydney – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2020
Students frequently utilize digital devices and applications to assist studying. Past research has yielded mixed results on their effectiveness, and scant research has compared portable technologies with each other or focused on smartphones specifically. We compared college students' learning of vocabulary on paper, laptop, and smartphone.…

Law, Anna S.; Stock, Rosemary – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2019
Research has demonstrated that learning is impaired if students multitask with media while encountering new information. However, some have gone further and suggested that media-multitasking (as a general activity) may have a negative impact on cognitive control processes. If this were the case, students who are heavy media-multitaskers generally…

Kurt, Uluhan; Tas, Yasemin – Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction, 2019
The aim of this study is to examine how parents' support for their children's science homework and the goal orientation of students in science homework predict their deep learning and management strategies that students use when doing homework. For this purpose, among quantitative research approaches, correlational method was used in the study.…

Morrison, Robert G.; McCarthy, Sean W.; Molony, John M. – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2017
The phenomenon of insight is frequently characterized by the experience of a sudden and certain solution. Anecdotal accounts suggest that insight frequently occurs after the problem solver has taken some time away from the problem (i.e., incubation). However, the mechanism by which incubation may facilitate insight problem-solving remains unclear.…
