Learning is facilitated by participation and interaction and can be synchronously or asynchronously in online education. This study investigated the relationship between students' academic success and online interaction and participation and explored their class attendance (synchronous virtual classes and/or watching the recorded virtual classes)…

Background: The use of metacognition is critical to learning, especially in fields such as engineering that involve problem-solving and difficult conceptual material. Due to limitations with current methodological approaches, new methods are needed to investigate engineering students' metacognitive engagement in learning situations that are…

This article will explore usage patterns and perceptions of online learning support among university students. As higher education expands to include increasingly diverse student cohorts, alternative online-supported learning services have gained attention as a mechanism to support student success. However, there is a paucity of research regarding…

We surveyed students enrolled in Introductory Psychology courses about their text marking preferences and analyzed the marking in their textbooks. Low-skill readers report more reliance on highlighting strategies and actually mark their texts more than better readers. In addition, low-skilled readers prefer to buy used, previously marked texts…

The successful acquisition of survey behavior by students diagnosed as void of survey behavior through stimulus control and reinforcement is described. (Author)

Academic enablers have been defined as attitudes and behaviors that facilitate students' participation in, and benefit from, academic instruction in the classroom (J.C. DiPerna & S.N. Elliott, 2000). The purpose of this article is to provide practitioners with an overview of specific academic enablers (motivation, study skills, engagement, and…

Investigates the efficacy of two behavioral self-control procedures as additions to the typical treatment for college students' study behavior--study skills advice. Predicted self-monitoring would be an effective treatment addition to study skills advice and study skills advice would be superior to the control groups. Results supported…

On the basis of educational experience and educational research, the following two assumptions have been widely accepted: students achieving the best results work differently from those who do less well, and low achieving students may learn something from the way the "good" performers approach the learning task and will thus be able to obtain far…

Argues that teachers can help students improve their learning by understanding the reasons why students have not been successful, by identifying strategies that promote active participation in the learning process, and by teaching students how to become more responsible for their own learning. (RAE)

The most noteworthy conclusions drawn was that two of the experimental group counseling procedures were more effective than no counseling approaches. (Author/EK)

Perceptions of study habits were compared for internally oriented subjects who were exposed to effective study techniques and those who were not. Illustrated post-tests for the interactions revealed patterns reflecting upward shifts for subjects exposed to effective study habits. (Author)

The literature on the three most commonly used study techniques was surveyed. Underlining and note taking, requiring active student involvement, were found to be the most effective techniques. (MA)

This study compared high, moderate, and low procrastinators on their (1) frequency and nature of rationalizations to justify procrastination, (2) reported degree of self-regulation, and (3) grades in a web-based course with 216 performances, all with deadlines. One hundred and sixteen college students enrolled in a web-based "study…

Techniques for helping students who are inconsistent in their efforts and their work are discussed. (MT)
