Current studies on academic coaching programs highlight their positive effects on undergraduate student success, particularly among students with disabilities. However, there remains a gap in understanding how these programs achieve success for students without disabilities. This research seeks to assess the impact of academic coaching on…

Background and Aims: This study examined the effects of working memory training (WMT) on WM and fluid intelligence. A novel four-pronged model of mediated learning, cognitive functions, task characteristics and metacognition is presented as a conceptual basis for the Modifiability of a Working Memory Program (MWMP). Our basic assumption is that…

Screen-based simulation (SBS) can complement traditional nursing courses. We compared the effect of innovative virtual environments not widespread in French nursing schools on self-efficacy, quiz performance, and self-regulated learning behaviors. This quasi-experimental study involved 1183 student nurses. Participants were divided into an…

Self-regulated learning interventions influence students' learning outcomes in online and blended environments. A review of the literature about self-regulated learning strategies reveals both significant and non-significant effects on learning outcomes in online and blended environments. The aim of this study was to calculate the common effect…

This publication presents the qualitative findings from a mixed-method pilot study on three- and four-drawing protocols for chronic pain, which have demonstrated significant positive quantitative results. For this report, thematic analysis and magnitude coding of drawing titles, narratives, and characteristics including resource representations…

Objective: To determine whether in situ neurofeedback training can be used as a tool to build sustained attention in the general student population and whether gains in attention translate to more effective work habits and learning skills. Method: Students participated in attention training game-based neurofeedback in situ for a period of 35…

Success in post-secondary engineering graphics courses in technology and engineering often relies on self-efficacy, academic success, and mental rotation abilities. Using a facilitative instructor model, the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) team applied active learning modules as supplemental material at two post-secondary…

In the present study, a quasi-experimental pre-post test design was used to assess the effects of an argumentative writing strategy (POW+TREE) on the performance of grade five and six students of Greek origin who were learning English as a foreign language (EFL) in a Greek setting. The Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) cognitive…

Based on classroom management fostering autonomy support and intrinsic motivation, this study examines effects of reciprocal peer-monitoring of learning behaviours on cognitive and affective outcomes. Within our study, 470 German secondary school students between 13 and 16 years of age participated in a multimodal hands- and minds-on exhibition…

One of the current spearhead projects in Finnish education is learning to learn. Learning strategies have been examined from a variety of perspectives. They are policies that either promote or hinder learning. They are any behaviours or thoughts that facilitate encoding in such a way that knowledge integration and retrieval are enhanced.…

Instruction designed to facilitate planning was provided to 12 math students (ages 9-12) with learning disabilities to determine if there would be differential effects on individual students. Teaching control and regulation of cognitive activity was beneficial for all students but was especially helpful for those with poor planning skills.…

For the thirty-seventh year, the Research and Theory Division and the Division of Instructional Design of the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) sponsored the publication of these Proceedings. Papers published in this volume were presented at the annual AECT Convention in Jacksonville, Florida. This year's Proceedings…
