Self-regulated learning (SRL) is the key variable to ensuring success or failure in online learning. However, in real-world online learning, college students face SRL deficiency, such as procrastination, decreased learning motivation, poor time management, and resource management. Therefore, scientifically exploring how to effectively promote the…

Curricular innovations in English language programs have placed increasing emphasis on providing opportunities for students to speak in the classroom, often through communicative group activities. However, despite decades of advocacy for small group talk, a rigorous conception of the quality of talk in these groups is lacking, particularly in the…

The article presents an example of social work education, in which reflexive practice learning was used to help students work competently in professional practice. Within an action research project, new forms of mentoring support for students working with families facing multiple challenges were developed as part of their practice learning. This…

This research explores how picturebooks can enhance ecocritical awareness and sustainable attitudes among 97 primary school children aged 8-9 in a Spanish school. The study includes 24 reading sessions in three formats: individual, small group, and adult-mediated. The selection of the corpus for children's readings aligns with theoretical studies…

Interactive book reading (IBR) is an effective method to foster children's language development. Previous studies pointed at smaller gains for children at risk for language and literacy impairments due to socio-economic, ethnic, or minority background or due to home language. However, possible differences in interaction patterns with children at…

This activity leverages the use of a single case study to explain conflict mapping and find an optimal solution to the complicated challenges posed by the situation in Nauru, an island country that is now participating in seabed mining operations. In groups, students are given a chance to participate in two discussions: one within their respective…

Case-based learning (CBL) is a student-centered pedagogy where medical students are given a real-world clinical problem. At St George's University of London (SGUL), anatomy academics can volunteer to facilitate CBL sessions for pre-clinical undergraduate medical students. The major benefits of facilitating CBL sessions from the perspective of a…

Data literacy enables teachers to use information collected about students and their learning to take data-informed instructional action. This article outlines two approaches developed by teachers to provide teaching targeted to the immediate needs of specific students that moved beyond "gap-filling". The pre-teaching and "fresh…

Employing membership categorization analysis and conversation analysis, we uncover how students performing classroom discussion tasks for language learning locally ascribe themselves and others to various identity categories within single discussion activities. Data consist of 126 hours of video-recorded small-group discussions for second language…

Running two separate two-stage randomized trials, we implement and test three variants of a small group instruction intervention aimed at improving mathematics competencies for the 20% lowest achievers in mathematics in grades 2 and 8 in Danish public schools. We calculate immediate impacts on math competencies as well as impacts in the medium…

Cell division is one of the most relevant processes in Biology, for instance, to understand the reproduction of species or the development of tumours. Learning this content requires not addressing it out of context but integrating it into real-life problems that demand students apply their knowledge about cell division. In this study, the authors…

To encourage students' self-regulated learning at home, developing skills for textbook use to overcome learning-related impasses is crucial. This study examined the effects of providing mathematics class sessions that combined teacher instruction on appropriate textbook use with peer instruction, aimed at promoting students' spontaneity and…

Understanding students' emerging roles in computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) is critical for promoting regulated learning processes and supporting learning at both individual and group levels. However, it has been challenging to disentangle individual performance from group-based deliverables. This study introduces new learning…

Quiet shy and/or anxious (QSA) children are often viewed negatively in primary school. This study employed two six-week intervention programmes entitled Special Me Time (SMT) for children in the Early Years (ages 3-7) and Quality Me Time (QMT) for children in years 3-4 (ages 7-9). Interventions were designed to support children: in vocalising…

E-learning has become a viable mean to both Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), and Small Private Open Courses (SPOCs). Research has shown that the quality and effectiveness of these types of courses depend largely on the contextual factors that may impact the design and development of online courses. This study highlights a design framework for…
