Structured Self-Regulated Learning (SSRL) diaries have the potential for combining the development and assessment of a student's SRL processes over time. The aim of this study was to evaluate the extent to which an SSRL diary can develop SRL and provide a reliable longitudinal assessment of SRL development in academically low-achieving…

Objective: Drink offers are related to increased alcohol consumption, which is linked to sexual activity among college students. However, offers of alcohol may increase the odds of sexual activity that night independent of the amount of alcohol consumed. Participants: 540 undergraduate students were recruited for a longitudinal study of daily…

This article explores the evolutionary nature of higher education and how it continues to stress the need for the professoriate to be active within scholarly teaching. This qualitative study examines how each author navigates SoTL research and analyzes the authors' reflective journaling for themes and sub-themes for alignment with Scholarship…

Instructional design problems are one of the most complicated and ill-structured types of problems due to the dynamic nature of design problems and decision-making processes. Formulating instructional design solutions thereby requires teachers to possess adequate decision-making knowledge and skills and apply them to instructional design. This…

This exploratory study evaluated a program focused on building resiliency and self-efficacy in college students through a combination of rock climbing and recreational therapy interventions that included mindfulness, and reflective journaling activities. The study imbedded therapeutic programming in an introductory rock climbing course offered…

In this article, we examine undergraduate research as a site of rhetorical development by listening to undergraduate researchers narrate and reflect upon their work as it unfolds. We draw from diary entries and follow-up interviews with eighteen undergraduate researchers at two different institutions, analyzing the rhetorical and affective…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) refers to students' ability to take charge of their own learning and consists of behavioral strategies that are associated with better online academic performance. This quasi-experimental study investigated the effect of two interventions (SRL training alone and SRL training paired with a learning diary) on online…

This study explored the effects of a 6-week psychological displacement paradigm in diary-writing (PDPD) intervention on alexithymia and social connectedness in Taiwanese college athletes at the individual and interpersonal levels. The sample comprised 87 participants (M[subscript age] = 19.80 ± 0.75 years). After a pretest, the individual writing…

In recent years, unobtrusive measures of self-regulated learning (SRL) processes based on log data recorded by digital learning environments have attracted increasing attention. However, researchers have also recognised that simple navigational log data or time spent on pages are often not fine-grained enough to study complex SRL processes. Recent…

Dialogue journals are written conversations in which two partners communicate regularly. When practiced between a teacher and student, dialogue journaling has the potential to engage students in writing, and can lead to improved teacher-student rapport. In this "Innovations in Practice" article, we evaluate the use of structured dialogue…

COVID-19 has emphasized the importance of holistic education with fostering stu- dents' multiple intelligences through effective social and emotional learning (SEL). Understanding students' SEL not only supports students' learning performance, it's also beneficial to inform teachers to provide more adequate social-communicative, metacognitive, and…

Preservice teachers' (PSTs) epistemic agency during their practicum experiences is not yet fully understood. In this study, we collected data in the form of in-depth interviews, reflective journals, and lesson plans from two Chinese language PSTs, and examined their epistemic agency during their practicums in Macau from a cultural-historical…

Background: Mastery and performance goals are typically measured as trait-like abstract goals. However, in their daily academic pursuits, students pursue more concrete goals. The pursuit of these goals is replete with obstacles that can lead to an action crisis. Aims: We examined how mastery and performance goals affect progress, effort and…

This article shares the findings of a study examining the use of dialectical journals as liminal spaces for the development of critical reflection in practicing teachers. In an online graduate course on critical teacher inquiry designed to foster teachers as antiracist multicultural educators, teachers engaged in dialogue with themselves as they…

This three-year, living inquiry into how preservice English Education students composed and analyzed visual-verbal journals (VVJs) in relation to Anne Frank's "Diary" is grounded in Ahmed's concepts of happy objects, bad encounters, and good encounters. After theorizing and complicating Ahmed's concepts, we explore the way that the…
