Vashe, Asha; Devi, Vasudha; Rao, Raghavendra; Abraham, Reem Rachel; Pallath, Vinod; Umakanth, Shashikiran – Advances in Physiology Education, 2019
Today most education institutions around the world have adopted the philosophy of outcome-based education. The emphasis in outcome-based education is achievement of outcomes; hence the curriculum should be designed in a way that it includes the components targeted specifically at achieving these outcomes. A discipline-based approach results in…

Johnson, N. – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2012
Self-regulation is the controlling of a process or activity by the students who are involved in Problem solving in Physics rather than by an external agency (Johnson, 2011). Selfregulated learning consists of three main components: cognition, metacognition, and motivation. Cognition includes skills necessary to encode, memorise, and recall…
