Students' accurate monitoring of their own performance is essential for achieving successful learning processes. In this work, we have aimed at analysing the role played by monetary incentives and by metacognitive feedback in improving students' miscalibration of their academic performance. A randomised field experiment was implemented in which…

In digitalized learning processes, learning analytics (LA) can help teachers make pedagogically sound decisions and support pupils' self-regulated learning (SRL). However, research on the role of the pedagogical dimensions of learning design (LD) in influencing the possibilities of LA remains scarce. Primary school presents a unique LA context…

Original version television represents not only a popular and accessible source of entertainment but also a valuable tool in foreign language learning and teaching. Building upon the potential of verbatim captions to facilitate speech segmentation and auditory word recognition, this study investigated pronunciation learning through exposure to…

This study examines gender gaps in ability grouping based on students' appraisals of their math and Spanish language abilities. The role of these ability groupings in predicting students' university studies was also analyzed. 796 secondary students participated (mean age=16 years, S.D=0.81). The self-criterion residual method resulted in three…

The link between working memory and academic achievement has been demonstrated across many research studies, with children who have lower working memory capacity typically also having lower levels of achievement in both literacy and numeracy. However, much of this research has been conducted in Western, educated, industrialized, rich and…

This study presents a scoping survey examining the integration of ChatGPT in mathematics education, highlighting its benefits, challenges, and implications for teaching and learning. The survey identifies key themes, including ChatGPT's ability to assist in understanding mathematical concepts, lesson planning, assessment design, personalized…

This study examines how Text-to-Speech (TTS) usage patterns relate to problem-solving accuracy in the 2017 NAEP Grade 8 Mathematics assessment, analyzing data from 2,060 students who used TTS on a math item. We investigated TTS usage across three dimensions: time spent listening to different text components, frequency of activations, and sequence…

The Poor Comprehender (PC) reading profile is characterised by difficulty comprehending text despite age-appropriate decoding skills. Risk for this profile is typically identified through static screening instruments measuring pre-existing knowledge, which may produce biased estimates for culturally and linguistically diverse children. In…

Purpose: This study compares two electromagnetic articulographs manufactured by Northern Digital, Inc.: the NDI Wave System (from 2008) and the NDI Vox-EMA System (from 2020). Method: Four experiments were completed: (1) comparison of statically positioned sensors; (2) tracking dynamic movements of sensors manipulated using a motor-driven LEGO…

When performing a systematic review, researchers screen the articles retrieved after a broad search strategy one by one, which is time-consuming. Computerised support of this screening process has been applied with varying success. This is partly due to the dependency on large amounts of data to develop models that predict inclusion. In this…

The Self-Administered Interview (SAI©) is designed to elicit detailed witness reports in the aftermath of incidents. In two sets of meta-analyses, we compared the number of correct details reported, the number of incorrect details reported, and the accuracy of reports provided by witnesses in initial reports (SAI© vs. other reporting formats) and…

Although widely used, the true-false test is often regarded as a superficial or even harmful test, one that lacks the pedagogical efficacy of more substantive tests (e.g., cued-recall or short-answer tests). Such charges, however, lack conclusive evidence and may, in some cases, be false. Across four experiments, we investigated how true-false…

The ability to selectively focus on and remember important information, referred to as value-directed remembering, may be crucial for effective memory functioning. In the present study, we investigated the relationships between metacognitive monitoring and control accuracy, selectivity for valuable information, and fluid intelligence. Mediation…

This investigation examines the effects of keyword tasks (Immediate vs. Delayed) on metacognitive monitoring, study regulation, and recall in multi-step learning tasks, which require learning information from expository texts. The titles of the expository texts were biased towards information that was either stated close to the title…

Survey interviews are conducted to produce objective, accurate information in which interviewers ask questions as worded and their discretionary speech is carefully managed. To limit interviewer influence over answers and reduce between-interviewer variance, Standardized Interviewing (SI) requires interviewers to administer "nondirective…
