Students face several challenges when asked to locate relevant and credible information from the internet. This article introduces three principles for designing online inquiry lessons and documents what we learned from five language arts teachers from Finland who implemented and provided feedback on a learning unit framed in those design…

Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is among the innovations in online learning environments that attract a significant interest among students but they have a high drop rate. Due to MOOC's high attrition rates, this study investigated the relationship between academic engagement in MOOCs and self-regulation learning strategies. The correlation…

Gaming the system, a behavior in which learners exploit a system's properties to make progress while avoiding learning, has frequently been shown to be associated with lower learning. However, when we applied a previously validated gaming detector across conditions in experiments with an algebra tutor, the detected gaming was not associated with…

Promoting problem-solving in students is an important aim of secondary science education. There is a mismatch, however, between the complex, ill-structured nature of realistic scientific problems, versus the well-structured problems students are generally confronted with. The current study investigates a teaching-learning strategy that resolves…

The potential of electronic books (ebooks) has been discussed widely, due mainly to their role in helping the user transform passive reading into interactive and dynamic learning, while promoting better retention and appropriation of materials. Taking this premise, the present study follows an exploratory and qualitative approach, discussing how…

Students often report using ineffective study techniques. This project encouraged practice testing, distributed practice, interleaved practice, and metacognitive accuracy to increase learning in an undergraduate general chemistry course. Overall, the purpose of this project was to use text messaging to support evidence-based study practices.…

This study aims to reveal the relationship between primary school students' perceptions of self-learning and decision-making skills and whether gender, the education level of parents, and the number of siblings cause a difference. Within the framework of the stated purposes, the correlational survey model, which is among the quantitative research…

Previous research has shown the value of retrieval practice and metacognitive awareness for student success. The present research evaluated the use of online question modules, in relationship to examination and final course grades, to encourage the development of these skills in undergraduate anatomy. The results demonstrated trends in both…

While research illustrates the benefits of interventions designed to improve self-regulated learning (SRL) and academic achievement, far fewer studies have examined the durability of these effects. This review synthesizes research on the lasting effects of 17 comprehensive SRL interventions on variables related to metacognition, cognition,…

Secondary school students often lack the necessary motivation to program visually. The present study aims to analyse the effects of error learning orientation on students' intrinsic motivation for visual programming. According to the control-value theory of Pekrun (2006), we posit that the influence of error learning orientation on intrinsic…

Chinese has become a prime foreign language in the educational policies of many nations, including Thailand. However, strategies for Thai students to successfully improve their Chinese, especially speaking skills, remain understudied. To minimize the knowledge gap, this quantitative study investigated Thai students' speaking strategies when…

Previous research studying language brokers (i.e. children/adolescents who translate for family members) has indicated some positive correlations between frequent language brokering and gains in cognitive development, although little of this research has been conducted on language brokers during the university/higher education years. At the same…

Being able to perform computational estimations efficiently is an important skill. Furthermore, computational estimation experiments are used to study general principles in strategy development. Rounding strategies are common in computational estimation. However, little is known about whether and when children use a mixed-rounding strategy (i.e.,…

Engaging in ethnographic sibling research, my brother and I intended to contribute to the knowledge of a multilingual learner's literacy practices via Zoom. We discuss agency and negotiated interaction between the ethnographer and sibling-participant. We examine data from field notes, interviews, and participant artifacts using a social semiotic…

Technology is playing an increasing role in education worldwide and is having a growing impact on the design and delivery of English language teaching. Teachers are expected to understand how to integrate technology into their teaching as well as know how to help learners make use of resources such as media and the internet to improve their…
