This study investigates the adaptation and validation of Turkey's Cognitive Style and Learning Style Inventories, highlighting cultural and educational impacts on cognitive and learning styles. By utilising SPSS and the Multidimensional Item Response Theory via R programming, this study assesses these tools among the 185 Turkish participants. A…

The study was carried out to determine the influence of visual, auditory, kinesthetics, tactile, group and individual learning styles on the study habits of senior secondary school chemistry students. These were with the view to examine the influence of learning styles preference on senior secondary school chemistry students study habits in Osun…

We investigated what students learnt about biodiversity, a broad and multi-dimensional concept, challenging to understand, following a visit to a nature reserve. Acknowledging the individual nature of informal learning, we explore Personal Meaning Maps (PMMs) coupled with semi-structured interviews to investigate learning among 13 scouts aged…

Notwithstanding the neuromyth controversy, the malleability of learning style preferences impacts the validity of the measurement instrument and the effectiveness of the associated model of learning. This study investigates the test-retest reliability and underlying dynamics of Kolb's Learning Style Inventory (KLSI). It surveys 245 college-level…

Objective: Maladaptive daydreaming (MD) is an impairing condition characterized by addiction to narrative, emotional fantasizing, involving dissociative absorption. By compulsively withdrawing toward vivid imaginative scenarios, MD hinders attentional functioning and replaces social interactions. Previous Interview-based research showed clinical…

If geography teachers appreciate the important role of spatial thinking in their disciplines, they can proactively explore educational interventions to improve the spatial thinking of their students. Our understanding of geography teachers' perceptions around spatial thinking is still in its infancy. Until now almost all studies investigating…

This research set out to enhance our understanding of the exam techniques and types of written annotations or markings that learners may wish to use to support their thinking when taking digital multiple-choice exams. Additionally, we aimed to further explore issues around the factors that contribute to learners writing less rough work and…

The biological motion refers to the continuous configuration movement of live agents in space. The perceptual processing of biological motion has the specificity of the dissociation between body form and body motion. However, there is limited evidence for whether such specificity continues when holding biological motion in working memory. We…

Much attention has been paid to the contributions of media literacy to children and adolescent development in most developed countries. This study adopted a non-equivalent control type of quasi-experimental research design involving the experimental and control groups. The sample size for the study was 90 learners drawn from all public adult and…

This study investigates Indonesian research trends on learning styles and searches for evidence verifying or refuting the learning styles matching hypothesis. This hypothesis, considered a myth in learning styles theory by some scholars, claims that a learner will learn better when taught according to his or her learning style, but there has been…

Purpose: Improving students' learning is dependent on students' participation, meaningfulness, and value of the teaching--learning process. This study explores students' learning experiences when undertaking the role of co-constructors and co- and self-regulators in a cooperative learning environment. Methods: The study included 110 school…

Learning style recognition is an indispensable part of achieving personalized learning in online learning systems. The traditional inventory method for learning style identification faces the limitations such as subject and static characteristics. Therefore, an automatic and reliable learning style recognition mechanism is designed in this…

Choice preferences for the compromise option are one common way to make decisions which has received a great deal of research attention to seek a richer understanding of consumers' product choices. Prior research has focused on investigating the various factors underlying the compromise choice. Given that the literature on cognitive style provides…

Training of self-regulated learning is most effective if it supports learning strategies in combination with metacognitive regulation, and learners can transfer their acquired metacognitive regulation skills to different tasks that require the use of the same learning strategy (near transfer). However, whether learners can transfer metacognitive…

While creativity anxiety has been found to have negative relationships with various creative outcomes, whether creativity anxiety would also negatively influence creative cognitive styles (i.e. idea generation; idea selection) and the mechanisms underlying these impacts are still unknown. Based on the Self-Efficacy Theory (SET) and the Dual…
