Do mono- and bilingual children differ in the way they learn novel words in ambiguous settings? Listeners may resolve referential ambiguity by assuming that novel words refer to unknown, rather than known, objects--a response known as the "mutual exclusivity effect." Past research suggested that mono- and bilinguals differ with regard to…

This project studies how Spanish-Catalan early bilinguals use language learning strategies (LLS) differently depending on their order of language acquisition when they are learning French as an L4. Considering that the use of LLS has been pointed out as a sign of successful language learning, the study inquires whether being a simultaneous…

Research is needed to understand how students in diverse contexts engage in self-assessment practices and how these practices align with their learning approaches. The present study used a survey to investigate how upper secondary science students (N = 1002) perceive their engagement in various self-assessment practices and approaches to learning,…

Study Skills in any guise are integral to Higher Education worldwide, existing to help student success. Some argue generic or bolt-on Study Skills do not help with success, others that embedded Study Skills do, but no-one advocates actually evaluating Study Skills in a context of success defined as helping with student educational gain and…

Our study examined the language learning strategies of successful and less successful Iranian EFL learners. The sample comprised 1608 junior and senior EFL students who completed the "Strategy Inventory for Language Learning" (SILL), and 30 randomly selected participants in semi-structured interviews. The results from descriptive…

Many occupational therapy students, particularly first-generation students, face significant academic and social challenges in higher education that affect their self-regulated learning (SRL). SRL involves goal setting, self-monitoring, strategy implementation, and reflection. The rigorous academic demands, combined with the unique challenges…

Metacognition involves teachers reflecting on their knowledge and teaching practices and mobilising students' metacognition. Teachers' metacognitive regulation is necessary to promote students' learning and motivation. Additionally, teacher identity is a dynamic process that evolves through social interactions and relationships in the workplace.…

Innovation competencies represent critical determinants for human capital development within contemporary organizational frameworks. This empirical investigation proposes a comprehensive theoretical model examining self-regulated learning (SRL) as a foundational mechanism driving innovation skill acquisition among management graduates. The study…

With the Chinese government's dedication to equalizing the development of vocational and general education, it is significant to examine how macro-environmental factors in vocational education impact learning processes and outcomes. The paper examines whether social acceptance of vocational education influences learning gains via learning…

Although many scholars have conducted studies on language learning strategies (LLS) around the world, little scholarly work reports on the LLS used by multilingual English learners. Moreover, most of those prior studies have been carried out employing exclusively quantitative methods. In response to these gaps, the present study adopts a…

Background: Early childhood is seen as a critical period for developing psychological resilience, which is important for the development of young children's mental and physical health. Previous research has identified the value of STEM learning in early childhood education, but less research has focused on the psychological resilience of young…

As artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more integrated into the field of healthcare, medical students need to learn foundational AI literacy. Yet, traditional, descriptive teaching methods of AI topics are often ineffective in engaging the learners. This article introduces a new application of cinema to teaching AI concepts in medical…

Achieving deep learning in smart classrooms is an important issue in smart education. Research suggests that deep learning requires special scaffolding to support students' learning flexibility according to their own needs. In this regard, this study proposes a smart-classroom-oriented learning scaffolding that can reflect flexibility in learning…

Students have different study habits from one another and from location to location. It is a crucial component of education since students' study practices have a big effect on their achievement in academics. Parents, educators, administrators, and members of the public are increasingly concerned about the poor level of mathematical comprehension…

Technology-enhanced learning environments (TELEs) have provided language learners with various opportunities to promote their self-sufficient learning outside the classroom lately. Thus, language learners are no longer passive recipients of language; in contrast, they are autonomous learners who apply self-regulated learning strategies through the…
