Maria Theobald – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2025
Background and Aims: The hypothesis that study strategies can compensate for less study time in predicting learning outcomes has often been proposed but rarely tested empirically. Methods: In the present study, 231 university students reported their daily perceived time spent on self-study, study strategies (planning, monitoring, concentration and…

Mathias Norqvist; Bert Jonsson; Johan Lithner – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2025
In mathematics classrooms, it is common practice to work through a series of comparable tasks provided in a textbook. A central question in mathematics education is if tasks should be accompanied with solution methods, or if students should construct the solutions themselves. To explore the impact of these two task designs on student behavior…

Kirsten Lansey; Shirin Antia; Stephanie MacFarland; Chelsea Carr – Journal of Inclusive Postsecondary Education, 2022
Postsecondary education students with intellectual and multiple disabilities are often supported by same-aged peer mentors. A single-subject multiple baseline design was used to examine the relationship between training with and without performance feedback and a peer mentor's fidelity of implementing a student's function-based intervention plan…

Deng, Liping; Ku, Kelly Yee Lai; Kong, Qiuyi – Interactive Technology and Smart Education, 2019
Purpose: The study aims to give a descriptive account of university students' engagement with non-learning-related activities during class time and explore the relationship between off-task multitasking and learning. The predictive factors for off-task multitasking from individual, social and class-related dimensions are also examined.…

Deng, Liping – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2020
This study examines university students' multitasking with computers and mobile phones in an authentic self-study context, with the primary focus being on off-task multitasking and interruption as precursor to multitasking. The study drew on interviews, observation, and video-stimulated recall to reveal the triggers for and processes of…

Mangaroska, Katerina; Sharma, Kshitij; Giannakos, Michail; Træteberga, Hallvard; Dillenbourg, Pierre – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2018
This study investigates how multimodal user-generated data can be used to reinforce learner reflection, improve teaching practices, and close the learning analytics loop. In particular, the aim of the study is to utilize user gaze and action-based data to examine the role of a mirroring tool (i.e., Exercise View in Eclipse) in orchestrating basic…

Junco, Reynol; Cotten, Shelia R. – Computers & Education, 2012
The proliferation and ease of access to information and communication technologies (ICTs) such as Facebook, text messaging, and instant messaging has resulted in ICT users being presented with more real-time streaming data than ever before. Unfortunately, this has also resulted in individuals increasingly engaging in multitasking as an information…

Fried, Carrie B. – Computers & Education, 2008
Recently, a debate has begun over whether in-class laptops aid or hinder learning. While some research demonstrates that laptops can be an important learning tool, anecdotal evidence suggests more and more faculty are banning laptops from their classrooms because of perceptions that they distract students and detract from learning. The current…

Burke, Lisa A.; Ray, Ruth – Teaching in Higher Education, 2008
Evidence suggests that college students' concentration levels are limited and hard to maintain. Even though relevant in higher education, scant empirical research exists on interventions to "re-set" their concentration during a college lecture. Using a within-subjects design, four active learning interventions are administered across two…

Bugeja, Michael J. – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2007
This article describes the difficulty faced by educators in fighting inappropriate use of technology among students inside the classrooms. It is not uncommon for teachers to find some of their students logging on to MySpace and eBay during lectures. Due to these types of scenarios, some teachers have started to ban laptops and cellular phones…

Mangan, Katherine S. – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2001
Describes how several business schools, fed up with students' Internet use during class time, are taking steps to force them to log off. Money spent wiring classrooms for Internet access and laptop use has encouraged distraction among students and the use of "kill switches" by professors. (EV)
