Ayesha Sohail; Huma Akram – Pedagogical Research, 2025
The ability to properly evaluate one's own academic progress has long been considered a predictor of academic success. However, its distinctive role in the context of computational mathematics remains underexplored. Grounded in social cognitive theory, this study investigates the critical role of self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies in…

Tavares, Paula Correia; Gomes, Elsa Ferreira; Henriques, Pedro Rangel; Vieira, Diogo Manuel – Open Education Studies, 2022
Computer Programming Learners usually fail to get approved in introductory courses because solving problems using computers is a complex task. The most important reason for that failure is concerned with motivation; motivation strongly impacts on the learning process. In this paper we discuss how techniques like program animation, and automatic…
