Learner agency is necessary for students to consolidate new learning. In environments where teachers and students prioritize learner agency, students actively engage in and take ownership of their learning. Students with agency seek relevant learning experiences, connecting new ideas, academic knowledge, and personal experiences. Integrating the…

This study aimed to determine whether the three dimensions of academic engagement (cognitive, emotional and behavioral) were positively associated with perceived learning and academic performance. The participants were 301 university students from Lima. Structural equation models were used to test the proposed theoretical relationship between the…

In student-centric learning environments, such as blended learning, students' metacognitive self-regulation is required to plan, monitor, and control their learning processes and achieve positive learning outcomes. The lack of metacognitive self-regulation may lead students to encounter difficulties that, eventually, affect their learning…

The problem addressed in this study was the lack of consistency among United States (U.S.) Army instructors' support for students with low self-efficacy in a U.S. Army online blended learning course, which has a negative impact on deep learning. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to gain a better understanding of the…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the collaborative dialogue patterns of pair programming and their impact on programming self-efficacy and coding performance for both slow- and fast-paced students. Forty-six postgraduate students participated in the study. The students were asked to solve programming problems in pairs; those pairs'…

Chemistry education is pivotal in examining sustainability concerns. Despite its undeniable importance, there exists a research gap on how students perceive the relevance of chemistry to sustainable development, which might be related to their perceived performance in chemistry as a subject area. Hence, this research investigated students'…

Research shows that when students use core concepts to guide their reasoning, they are able to construct more accurate, mechanistic explanations. However, there is scant research exploring student's perceptions of the usefulness of core concepts. Knowing students' perceptions could be influential in encouraging faculty to adopt core concept…

As artificial intelligence (AI) technology rapidly develops and is deployed, students increasingly need to understand and learn AI-related skills for future employment. This study investigates how students' AI learning anxiety and AI job replacement anxiety affect intrinsic/extrinsic learning motivations and subsequent AI learning intention. The…

Various studies have been done on shifting toward technology-based second language (L2) education. However, the influence of psycho-emotional factors on students' technology acceptance is overlooked. To fill this gap, the present quantitative study examined the role of students' achievement emotions and technological self-efficacy in predicting…

Multitasking has been demonstrated to negatively impact performance across a wide range of tasks, including in the classroom, yet students continue to multitask. This study examined the relationship between college students' perceptions and performance of technology-based multitasking. Technology-based multitasking and self-efficacy data were…

The present study aimed to examine the mediator role of academic self-efficacy and the moderator role of gender in the relation between attitude towards distance education and academic life satisfaction. The Study Group consisted of 452 participants who were studying at 3 different state universities in Turkey. The Attitude Scale towards Distance…

This systematic literature review concerns the impact of experiential learning and creative thinking on artistic growth and self-efficacy of preservice education majors; and reveals connections and gaps in cross-disciplinary theory, research, and practices of teaching creativity. Observing preservice education majors' hesitancy toward art making,…

Intercultural group work (IGW) is a valuable learning strategy to enhance deep learning and prepare university students to participate in a globalized world, so more insight is needed into what motivates students to engage actively in IGW. Using an expectancy-value theory framework, this study investigates the extent to which the different…

The first study year at university predicts the progress and quality of later studies. The aim of our study was to explore factors that affect first-year agriculture students. In the end of their first year, 49 students answered a questionnaire measuring self-efficacy, approaches to learning, and study-related burnout. They also reported the…

The mastery learning pedagogical approach recognizes that mastery is not always achieved on the first attempt, and learning from mistakes and perseverance is fundamental to learning. Research has suggested that mastery learning can have a positive influence on underrepresented engineering students' learning and course performance. Yet, there is a…
