Karagiannopoulou, Evangelia; Milienos, Fotios S.; Kamtsios, Spiridon; Rentzios, Christos – Educational Psychology, 2020
The study aims at investigating students' learning/defence profiles. It also explores students' profiles during different years of study. Participants comprised of 425 undergraduates. They completed the 'Approaches to Study and Skills Inventory' and the 'Defense Style Questionnaire'. The students' academic achievement was measured through grade…

Elphinstone, Brad; Tinker, Sean – Journal of College Student Development, 2017
The Motivation and Engagement Scale-University/College (MES-UC) was used to identify student typologies on the basis of adaptive and maladaptive academic cognitions and behaviours. The sample comprised first-year (n = 390), second-year (n = 300), and third-year (n = 251) undergraduate students with 4 student typologies identified: high…

List, Alexandra; Grossnickle, Emily M.; Alexander, Patricia A. – Reading Psychology, 2016
The present study examined undergraduate students' multiple source use in response to two different types of academic questions, one discrete and one open-ended. Participants (N = 240) responded to two questions using a library of eight digital sources, varying in source type (e.g., newspaper article) and reliability (e.g., authors' credentials).…

Entwistle, Noel; McCune, Velda – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2013
Background: A re-analysis of several university-level interview studies has suggested that some students show evidence of a deep and stable approach to learning, along with other characteristics that support the approach. This combination, it was argued, could be seen to indicate a "disposition to understand for oneself." Aim: To…

Ellis, Robert A. – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2016
There is variation in the university student experience of learning. Prior research has shown that factors that shape this include student characteristics, the learning context, student perceptions of that context and approaches to learning and their learning outcomes. In blended contexts, there is a need to identify variables which can explain…

Smith, Russell K. – Research in Higher Education Journal, 2014
A segmentation study is used to partition college students into groups that are more or less likely to adopt tablet technology as a learning tool. Because the college population chosen for study presently relies upon laptop computers as their primary learning device, tablet technology represents a "next step" in technology. Student…

Gibson, Allen – American Journal of Business Education, 2009
This paper demonstrates a new application of cluster analysis to segment business school students according to their degree of satisfaction with various aspects of the academic program. The resulting clusters provide additional insight into drivers of student satisfaction that are not evident from analysis of the responses of the student body as a…

Davis, Heather A.; DiStefano, Christine; Schutz, Paul A. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2008
The authors explored patterns of appraising tests in a large sample of 1st-year college students. Cluster analysis was used to identify homogeneous groups of 1st-year students who shared similar patterns of cognitive appraisals about testing. The authors internally validated findings with an independent sample from the same population of students…

Amershi, Saleema; Conati, Cristina – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2009
In this paper, we present a data-based user modeling framework that uses both unsupervised and supervised classification to build student models for exploratory learning environments. We apply the framework to build student models for two different learning environments and using two different data sources (logged interface and eye-tracking data).…
