Metacognition has been a subject of considerable interest in school settings, particularly its implications on learning and performance in mathematics. While metacognition has been widely studied as a multi-faceted construct comprising of metacognitive knowledge, regulation and experiences in various combinations, few have examined these three…

Background Study: Several meta-analysis studies have investigated the effects of mobile learning on learning performance. However, limited attention has been paid to pedagogy in mobile learning, making quantitative evidence of the effects of pedagogical approaches on learning performance in mobile learning scarce. Filling this gap can therefore…

This study investigated the nature of transformative learning experiences as qualitative shifts in identity by employing a basic interpretative qualitative methodology using data from semi-structured interviews with eight participants in a re-entry job skills program, that is, with participants in a program that was designed to aid them with their…

Knowledge tracing (KT) aims to trace students' evolving knowledge states based on their learning sequences. Recently, some deep learning based models have been proposed to incorporate the historical information of individuals to trace students' knowledge states and achieve encouraging progress. However, these works ignore the collaborative…

Research on Self-regulated Learning (SRL) increasingly emphasises contextual factors, highlighting the contingent, dynamic and temporal nature of self-regulation. However, the experiential aspect of how learners actually perceive and engage with SRL still remains relatively unexplored. While SRL emphasises active learner involvement in learning,…

We explore the idea that teaching students as "scholars" can change their education within a values discourse that promotes certain personal attributes, including being engaged members of their university and society. The idea partially opposes the dominant neoliberal framing of higher education but is not foreign to normal academic…

Contribution: Longitudinal video reflections are a unique approach to assessing student learning in study abroad. This study utilizes this method to understand the experiences of ten engineering students. The results show how their learning experiences changed over time and how the students connected these experiences to culture and engineering.…

This dissertation explores the experiences of adult English as a Second Language (ESL) learners in an Adult Basic Education (ABE) program. ABE/ESL learners are a unique but integral population within the language learning community and are largely excluded from the scholarly discourse. Research in the context of language learning and instruction…

As of 2021, there were 6.4 million international students globally, with Chinese students making up the largest group of international students in the Philippines. This study investigated the lived experiences of Chinese undergraduate international students who took the compulsory Life and Works of the Rizal Course in the General Education…

Countless reforms and interventions have sought to improve academic outcomes for immigrant-origin students, with labels like "at-risk" rushing forth to solve the "dropout crisis." And yet, even in culturally and linguistically affirmative environments, youth still fall to the margins. Using research from a newcomer school…

The Chicago Public Schools (CPS) has administered the "Cultivate" Survey, a rigorously developed student voice survey that captures students' experiences of their learning conditions, twice annually (fall and spring) since the 2022-2023 academic year. "Cultivate" is grounded in extensive research on youth development, finding…

Librarians provide instruction for students across disciplines, each with their own teaching and learning practices. An exploration of signature pedagogies will help librarians develop a deeper understanding of student learning. This article identifies reflective pedagogy as a teaching strategy librarians can use to expand upon this learning by…

Purpose: This study aims to comprehend vocational preservice teachers' recalled experiences with the Cooperative Problem-based Learning (CPBL) pedagogical approach in an entrepreneurship course and to reveal how these experiences will impact their future teaching practice. The course under study intends to improve preservice teachers'…

Contribution: The experiences of three students in a co-curricular project-based design experience are explored. The objective is to characterize authentic and inauthentic (performative) forms of engagement and its potential impact on learning within an authentic experience. We consider these cases in supporting an argument for extensive…

Amidst the tapestry of public education lie the stories of early college high school (ECHS) students, students with valuable insights into the transformative nature of juggling secondary and postsecondary education. Their experiences are somewhat unknown to the education community at large. ECHS programs are designed to bridge the gap between high…
