de Bilde, Jerissa; Vansteenkiste, Maarten; Lens, Willy – Learning and Instruction, 2011
The present cross-sectional research examined a process underlying the positive association between holding an extended future time perspective (FTP) and learning outcomes through the lens of self-determination theory. High school students and university students (N = 275) participated in the study. It was found that students with an extended FTP…

Enhancing Self-Regulated Learning by Writing Learning Protocols
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Nuckles, Matthias; Hubner, Sandra; Renkl, Alexander – Learning and Instruction, 2009
Learning protocols are a self-guided way of writing that allows for elaboration and reflection on learning content. In an experimental study (N = 103), we supported protocol writing with prompts to elicit important strategies as postulated by a cyclical model of self-regulated learning. Students received either (a) no prompts, (b) cognitive…

McElvany, Nele; Artelt, Cordula – Learning and Instruction, 2009
Drawing on knowledge about the development of reading comprehension, and empirical insights into the effects of training on students' learning strategies and reading-related metacognition, we developed a parent-child reading program for implementation in the home environment. The results of this first quasi-experimental evaluation study indicate…

Do Learning Protocols Support Learning Strategies and Outcomes? The Role of Cognitive and Metacognitive Prompts
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Berthold, Kirsten; Nuckles, Matthias; Renkl, Alexander – Learning and Instruction, 2007
Although writing learning protocols is an effective follow-up course work activity, many learners tend to do it in a rather suboptimal way. Hence, we analyzed the effects of instructional support in the form of prompts. The effects of different types of prompts were investigated in an experiment with four conditions: cognitive prompts,…

The Teachability and Effectiveness of Cognitive Self-Regulation in Sixth-Grade Writers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Torrance, Mark; Fidalgo, Raquel; Garcia, Jesus-Nicasio – Learning and Instruction, 2007
Seventy-one normally functioning Spanish sixth-grade students participated in classroom-based training in cognitive strategies for preplanning and substantive revision of expository text. Short essays completed by these students pre-intervention, post-intervention, and after a 12 week delay were compared with those of an ordinary-curriculum…

The Impact of Learning Journals on Metacognitive and Cognitive Processes and Learning Performance.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McCrindle, Andrea R.; Christensen, Carol A. – Learning and Instruction, 1995
Forty college students in a first-year biology course were randomly assigned to a learning journal (experimental) or scientific report (control) group. Results showed that the experimental group used more metacognitive strategies and more sophisticated cognitive strategies during a learning task. (SLD)
