The purpose of this study is to examine secondary school students' critical reading skills and listening/watching strategies in line with different variables, and to determine whether their critical reading skills have an effect on their listening/watching strategies. The sample of the research consists of 800 students, 380 girls, and 420 boys, in…

For biology students, the diversity, complexity, and abundance of content in this field yield a heavy study load. Hence, appropriate learning strategies are key in supporting learners' academic success. In biology, the factors gender and interest hold a unique position within the natural sciences, as there is an academic imbalance to the…

Retrieval practice is a learning strategy that has repeatedly been found to have positive effects on memory and learning. However, studies indicate that students rarely use retrieval practice on a voluntary basis. The objective of the present study was to examine students' self-regulated use of retrieval practice, and to determine whether sex and…

In the present study, the impact of formative assessment on secondary school students' mathematics achievement and their metacognitive awareness was examined.

A pretest-posttest control group, quasi-experimental design using the 2x3x2 factorial matrix was adopted for the study. A…

The authors explore the occurrence of different learner profiles in secondary education, as well as their relationship with test performance and student characteristics. Based on a cluster analysis of 1,931 secondary school students' self-reported text-learning strategy use and study traces, the authors identified and validated four distinct…

The learning process, defined as behaviour change, does not only involve learning; the individual is also expected to take an active role in this process and an academic risk in uncertain situations. In this study, descriptive survey model was utilised. Participants were secondary school students (11-13 years) from Turkey. 'Social Studies-Oriented…

This field survey had two main objectives.

Second, to identify patterns of the differences emerging from the research outcomes. Using a simple random sample of 310 Brunei…

The relations between more surface- or deep-level learning approaches and academic achievement were investigated. Gender, level of study, and type of schools were moderating variables. 170 upper-secondary school students' conceptions of learning and their chosen learning strategies were explored via two self-report questionnaires. Furthermore,…

This mixed methods study explores secondary students' math identities. The primary purpose of this dissertation is to examine the relationships among students' math identities, their perceived problem solving practices, and their perceived self-regulated learning strategies. This study holds implications for teachers, school administrators,…

The aim of the present investigation was to analyse the role of academic self-efficacy and approaches to learning in general and in Physics and Chemistry academic achievements.
