Martinie Marie-Amélie; Rebecca Shankland – Cogent Education, 2023
Poor academic performance is known to be linked to the tendency to procrastinate. The latter is thought to reflect deficits in effort regulation and study time management (i.e. learning-related resources), but some recent results have suggested that it could stem from psychological inflexibility. The main objective of the present study was thus to…

Just, Renee; Bruner, Daryl – Learning Assistance Review, 2020
When academic success professionals work collaboratively with faculty, we can better connect the dots between how students present in the classroom and what services are most needed to support student success. If high school students believe academic records are irrelevant, it undermines the need (incentive) to exert effort in studies and academic…

Van Hoof, Thomas J.; Walsh, Stephen J.; Missal, Jacob; Burkey, Daniel D. – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2019
The science of learning (learning science) is an emerging interdisciplinary field that concerns itself with how the brain learns and remembers important information. The authors describe an innovative extracurricular program that introduced first-year undergraduate students in engineering to learning science, specifically the biological steps in…

Varunki, Maaret; Katajavuori, Nina; Postareff, Liisa – Studies in Higher Education, 2017
Research shows that a surface approach to learning is more common among students in the natural sciences, while students representing the "soft" sciences are more likely to apply a deep approach. However, findings conflict concerning the stability of approaches to learning in general. This study explores the variation in students'…

Damico, Amy M.; Quay, Sara E. – Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, 2009
This study reveals that first-year college students are more impacted by the process of learning to learn than by the content of what they are learning. Specifically, adapting to college-level academic expectations, adopting successful study habits, and coping with the tendency to procrastinate were found to be critical to students' academic…

Morgan, Alistair; And Others – 1981
Many recent studies of student learning are grounded in a theoretical framework which is experiential and describes learning from the learner's perspective or "from the inside". A research project on student learning in the Open University has followed a group of 30 students through their first year of university study. Students were…

Gersten, Susan G. Liss – 1989
A study was conducted to determine if visual linguistic numeric, auditory linguistic numeric, and tactile concrete learners have statistically significant different study habits, study attitudes, and study orientation than their low visual linguistic numeric, low auditory linguistic numeric, and low tactile concrete counterparts. Data were…

Watkins, David – Higher Education, 1982
Two studies examined factors influencing the study approach of Australian college freshmen and seniors from a traditional psychometric perspective, supported by student comments. The first found that student interest, grades, and essay examinations encourage serious study; the second, that serious students see courses as encouraging independence…

Railton, Diane; Watson, Paul – Active Learning in Higher Education: The Journal of the Institute for Learning and Teaching, 2005
A key factor in the transition to university is the enculturation of new students into both the discipline they are studying and effective study practices. Most significantly, students, whatever their chosen discipline, must learn to become autonomous learners. Too often this process is either left to chance or seen as a natural attribute of the…

International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2012
The IADIS CELDA 2012 Conference intention was to address the main issues concerned with evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies and applications in the digital age. There had been advances in both cognitive psychology and computing that have affected the educational arena. The convergence of these two disciplines is increasing at a…
