The ability to organize variable sensory signals into discrete categories is a fundamental process in human cognition thought to underlie many real-world learning problems. Decades of research suggests that two learning systems may support category learning and that categories with different distributional structures (rule-based,…

Language learning strategies in second language or foreign language learning rank highest among students' personal development plans. Various factors are supposed to affect the choice of a language learning strategy such as gender, age, cultural origins, motivation and language proficiency level. This study aimed to identify the different types of…

The research aims to investigate the effect of learning environments enriched with multisensory reading activities on reading comprehension, reading comprehension strategies and reading motivation of primary school fourth-grade students. When the methods related to the reading comprehension process are analysed, the students' meaning process is…

Memory is expressed in multiple functionally and anatomically distinct systems that interact over the course of learning and during the retrieval of information about the world. One method to determine the kind of memory representation (episodic and/or procedural) guiding behavior is to look at the expression of expectations (i.e., predictions) in…

Almost fifty years ago, Barrows (1986) claimed that problem-based learning (PBL) was broad enough that a single methodological description was not possible. It has only grown more complex since. In addition to meaningful variations of PBL, there are several related problem-centered pedagogies, such as case-based learning, project-based learning,…

The purpose of this study is to compare the use of elaborated and metacognitive feedback strategies in interactive instructional videos in terms of undergraduate students' engagement and metacognitive awareness levels. This study also aims to investigate undergraduate students' evaluations of elaborated and metacognitive feedback in these…

Language learning activities involving time-pressured repetition of similar content have been shown to facilitate improvements in fluency. However, concerns have been voiced about whether these gains might be offset by reduced levels of grammatical accuracy. This descriptive study tracked the oral proficiency of 32 Japanese university students…

This paper presents research that aimed to determine how teachers employed in Croatian and Serbian music schools coped with distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The random sample was represented by 589 teachers working in music schools, of which 369 were from Croatia and 220 were from Serbia. The results showed that teachers from both…

In the fall 2022 semester, over half of college students took at least one online course, and approximately 20 percent of public four-year college students and 32 percent of community college students engaged exclusively in online education. So understanding how to effectively support online learners is critical. While research suggests that some…

This study presents a transdisciplinary techno-artistic experience conducted with students of the degree in Preschool Education from the University of Valencia. The experience seeks to promote the use of technologies with a contemporary approach through new creative forms such as sound-visual cartographies. The objective is to understand the…

This study investigated university students' perceptions of notetaking and its potential impact on academic performance, as well as the factors influencing their note-taking decisions. The participants included 150 students, comprising 75 Thai and 75 non-Thai students enrolled at Asia-Pacific International University, Thailand, during the second…

Recent studies have suggested that language aptitude is a domain-general and flexible trait to acquire foreign languages, regarding various cognitive abilities such as memory systems as its crucial components. Despite a growing interest in working memory, however, much remains unknown about the impact of associative memory on language aptitude.…

Providing timely and personalized feedback on open-ended student responses is a challenge in education due to the increased workloads and time constraints educators face. While existing research has explored how learning analytic approaches can support feedback provision, previous studies have not sufficiently investigated educators' perspectives…

This study used a correlational design methodology to examine teacher-trainees academic confidence, their rating of learning demands, and lecturer support at their teacher training college. Data were collected using a survey comprising the Academic Confidence, Learning Demands and the Teacher Support Scales. A total population sampling technique…

Autonomous learning is a fundamental aspect of education that builds important skills, like critical thinking, problem-solving, and adaptability, which are important for achievement in a constantly changing professional environment. Cultivating it promotes lifelong learning, self-improvement, and knowledge beyond traditional educational settings.…
