A 3-year follow-up survey was sent to speech-language pathologists who completed a mindfulness program as part of their graduate studies. Findings indicated that 53% of the speech-language pathologists who responded continued to practice learned mindfulness skills in their personal lives as well as incorporating them in their therapy plans.

This study explores students' initial engagement with ill-structured problems before and after the introduction of engineering problem typology as a framework for problem engagement and reflection. Using problem discussions, debrief interviews, and qualitative analysis of written artifacts, we considered observed changes to students' initial…

This work explores the complex cognitive processes students engage in when addressing contextual tasks requiring linear and exponential models. Grounded within Piagetian constructivism and the Knowledge in Pieces (KiP) epistemological perspective (diSessa, 1993, 2018), this empirical study in a clinical setting develops a Microgenetic Learning…

We examined whether visual disfluency, as elicited by presenting text on flickering slides, affects learning positively and the global judgment of learning (JOL) negatively. Participants (N = 202 in Experiment 1, between-subjects design; N = 53 in Experiment 2, within-subjects design) saw in an online session multiple slides including textual…

This quantitative study seeks to explore intrinsic motivation amongst students in post-secondary education. The sample includes 55 undergraduate students currently enrolled in a college of education teaching methods course. The researchers sought to explore the correlation between intrinsic motivation and key variables such as academic…

This study explored the influences that five minutes of daily mindfulness activities had on third-grade students in a math and science classroom, as well as both student and teacher perceptions of the mindfulness activities. The researcher implemented five minutes of a mindfulness activity daily during a three-week period. Data collection methods…

Executive functions (EF) have been theoretically implicated in multiple text comprehension. Yet, the contributions of EFs to comprehension and integration of multiple texts have not been tested empirically, and instructional supports for text integration grounded in EFs are only beginning to be developed. Using a conflicting-text paradigm, this…

Despite the naïve intuition that individuals' confidence in their future memory performance should increase with longer self-paced study time, it is commonly observed that the relation between invested study time and memory predictions (i.e., judgments of learning (JOLs)) is negative. This negative relation has been suggested to reflect use of the…

Self-regulation and metacognition are important for lifelong functioning and can be strengthened with intervention at a young age. Research proposes that musical play enables self-regulatory development, but lacks rigorous approaches to investigate whether a causal relationship between the two exists. We introduced a musical play intervention in a…

Although self-regulation (SR) has long been seen as an important educational concept, we know little about how to foster it in higher education online student populations. This research addresses this need by introducing an SR intervention into a preservice teacher course. The 30 students who participated used an intervention consisting of weekly…

Library instruction is predicated on the assumption that transfer learning can take place, but how do librarians determine whether transfer is occurring? This study examines the use of reflection as a learning theory within the one-shot library instruction classroom to facilitate metacognition and transfer learning. Through the analysis of student…

With the increased glocalization in China, internationalization of education has become trends, requiring teachers to possess intercultural competence. This mixed-methods study aims to investigate the effectiveness of web-based teaching and learning models, particularly the HyFlex model and Gather.town, in fostering intercultural competence among…

This study focused on freshmen at Yunnan Normal University. The research objectives were threefold: (1) to investigate the role of self-regulatory methods in enhancing students' autonomous learning ability, (2) to study the differences between the control group and the experimental group, and (3) to determine if students are satisfied with…

As the importance of student self-regulated learning (SRL) among school-aged populations continues to increase, there is an emerging need for school psychologists and other school professionals to develop the knowledge and skills to effectively assess this process. The current paper provides a conceptual and empirical overview of a multimethod SRL…

This study combined the use of a simulated group project, self-assessments, and reflective essays and investigated their effectiveness in improving the intercultural communicative competence of Master of Business Administration students. The self-assessment data reveal that the knowledge dimension of cultural intelligence, which serves as an…
