Suijing Yang; Jason M. Lodge; Cameron Brooks – Metacognition and Learning, 2025
Previous studies have reported the importance of regulation in collaborative learning. To understand and support students' learning, researchers have identified that regulation in collaboration emerges as a series of contingent activities at individual and social levels, addressing various learning foci in cognitive, motivational, emotional, and…

While behavioral, contextual, and physiological data streams have long been used to investigate self-regulated learning (SRL), a systematic understanding of the current state how different data streams and modalities contribute to measuring regulation processes across diverse learning contexts remains limited. This systematic literature review…

Inuusah Mahama; Isaac Amoako; Aliu Nandzo; Peter Eshun – Cogent Education, 2024
In every learning environment, several factors such as mindfulness, self-regulation, school engagement, and resilience may compel students to move beyond their limits to sustain learning and improve their academic performance. The study, therefore, investigated the predictive roles of academic mindfulness, self-regulated learning, and school…

Skylar J. Laursen; Dorina Sluka; Chris M. Fiacconi – Metacognition and Learning, 2024
Previous literature suggests learners can adjust their encoding strategies to match the demands of the expected test format. However, it is unclear whether other forms of metacognitive control, namely, study time allocation and restudy selection, are also sensitive to expected test format. Across four experiments we examined whether learners…

Laura Dörrenbächer-Ulrich; Marius Bregulla – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
Self-regulated learning (SRL) and executive functions (EF) are broad concepts stemming from different research areas. They have been defined and modeled in various ways and are repeatedly related to each other in the literature, but so far, no systematic analyses of these relations have been published. Therefore, a systematic analysis of their…

Zui Cheng; Zhuo Zhang; Qian Xu; Yukiko Maeda; Peidi Gu – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2025
Research on academic performance in online education proliferated in the last decade; however, our current understanding of the relationship between self-regulated learning and academic performance in online learning environments remains scattered. This meta-analysis provides a holistic view of the relationship between learners' use of…

Emine Cabi; Hacer Türkoglu – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2025
Recent advancements in educational technology have enabled teachers to use learning analytics (LA) and flipped classrooms. The present study investigated the impact of a LA-based feedback system on students' academic achievement and self-regulated learning (SRL) in a flipped learning (FL) environment. The study used a pretest-posttest control…

Emily K. Bremers; Olive K. McKay; Julie Dangremond Stanton – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2025
When students use metacognition, they can more effectively problem solve on their own and in groups. Most metacognition studies have focused on individual learners while a few studies have begun to explore the metacognition learners use in social settings. Little is known about the comparison between how an individual student may use metacognition…

Jiaoying Ji; Saifon Songsiengchai; Clinton Chidiebere Anyanwu; Nur Fauziyah – International Education Studies, 2025
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…

Jodie Torrington; Matt Bower; Emma C. Burns – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
It is well-established that being a self-regulated learner is beneficial academically, motivationally and is considered essential for productive life-long learning. Despite this, there is limited evidence examining how different measures of self-regulation for learning (SRL) relate to task performance for young students learning in digital…

Lucinda Powell – Psychology Teaching Review, 2024
Our school career culminates in a set of exam results, but if students want to do well, attending lessons is not enough: the implicit expectation is that all students will reinforce learning independently outside of the classroom. Really effective learners employ effective independent study techniques, but when, how and where do they learn to do…

Spencer, Dan; Nietfeld, John L.; Cao, Li; Difrancesca, Daniell – Journal of Experimental Education, 2023
Understanding the development of self-regulated learning (SRL) in applied educational contexts is currently an important goal for researchers. There exists a relatively rich literature for most SRL components in isolation yet the field is lacking in understanding their coordination. This study examined the relationship between metacognitive…

Carpenter, Shana K. – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
Over 100 years of research shows that retrieval practice is highly effective for enhancing student learning. When managing their own study behaviors, however, students tend to avoid using retrieval practice as a way of learning. Understanding and improving students' study decisions is important given the increasingly autonomous nature of…

Xiong, Qinjing; Ju, Yucui – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2023
The concept of Tao occupies a core position in Taoism and even the entire Chinese classical philosophy. For philosophical Taoism, 'Tao' is the ultimate reality. Therefore, exploring Taoist epistemology, its role in governance, education and self-cultivation is necessary. The only way that can be approached beyond human ability to fathom 'Tao' is…

Rieger, Georg W.; McIver, Jess; Mazabel, Silvia; Burkholder, Eric W. – Physics Teacher, 2023
It is often challenging for physics instructors to dedicate time during a course to engage students in developing strategic approaches to learning in addition to problem-solving skills and content knowledge. In this work, we introduce a simple modification to our teaching practice with the purpose of fostering student development of self-regulated…
