Emotions play a crucial role in the learning process, yet there is a scarcity of studies examining emotion dynamics in problem-solving with fine-grained data and advanced tools. This study addresses this gap by investigating the emotional trajectories during self-regulated learning (SRL) phases (i.e., forethought, performance, and self-reflection)…

While peer tutoring is a valued experiential activity, little is known about the peer tutoring experience and its relationship to desired 21st century outcomes of college. This paper features the results from a multi-institution study of the characteristics and benefits of peer tutoring for tutors. The National Survey of Student Engagement was…

Feedback is crucial for improving student learning. In this regard, overcoming the transmissive conception of feedback in favour of its dialogic function introduces new reflections concerning the internal generative feedback process. In this regard, Nicol [(2020). The power of internal feedback: Exploiting natural comparator processes.…

College students make job decisions without complete information. As a result, they may rely on misleading heuristics ("interesting jobs pay badly") and pursue options misaligned with their goals. We test whether highlighting job characteristics changes decision making. We find increasing the salience of a job's monetary benefits…

Significant interruptions to in-person learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic have led to potentially long-lasting negative impacts on student achievement, impacting every part of Colorado education. As cited by the National Student Success Accelerator (NSSA) at Stanford University, a meta-analysis reviewed tutoring interventions that were…

A key challenge in e-learning environments like Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) is to induce effective pedagogical policies efficiently. While Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) often suffers from "sample inefficiency" and "reward function" design difficulty, Apprenticeship Learning (AL) algorithms can overcome them.…

It is widely recognised that an important aspect of doctoral study is the development of a researcher identity. However, little is known about how to support this. Although previous research has highlighted the importance of discursive engagement for researcher identity development, no studies examine talk or discuss how identities are constructed…

Motivated by the proliferation of artificial intelligence that has the potential to promote self-access learning, this study utilizes a sequential explanatory quasi-experimental mixed methods design to investigate the efficacy of Google Assistant (GA) in facilitating second language (L2) vocabulary learning compared to online dictionaries. A…

Based on the survey data of shadow education activities of junior middle school students in Dalian, China in 2020, this paper analyzes the socio-spatial differentiation of participation, activity spatial distribution and travel distance. It's found that: (1) The participation rate reaches 74.17%. In general, the higher socioeconomic status strata…

Students' approaches to learning, including "deep," "surface," or "strategic" methods, significantly impact their academic success and skill development. This study investigates the transition in learning approach preferences among marketing majors, comparing junior-level students beginning their upper-division…

Introduction: The research determined the effectiveness of Peer-tutoring Instructional Strategy (PTIS) and Experiential Instructional Strategy (EIS) on Biology students' academic performance and self-efficacy in schools. Methods: The research adopted a pre-test, post-test, control group quasi-experimental research design. The data collected were…

While previous research on private tutoring has focused predominantly on its meso- or macro-level determinants, this qualitative study, anchored in the literature on parental involvement, explores proximal factors, including psychological and situational influences, that affect parental decisions to seek private tutoring. The study is based on…

Prior work has developed a range of automated measures ("detectors") of student self-regulation and engagement from student log data. These measures have been successfully used to make discoveries about student learning. Here, we extend this line of research to an underexplored aspect of self-regulation: students' decisions about when to…

Since ChatGPT offers free access for everyone, it has created a new phenomenon and has the potential to disrupt the education industry. The primary purpose of this quantitative study is to understand the factors that influence the use of ChatGPT in tertiary education, how it motivates students to learn and how the potential misuse negatively…

This study explores how private tutoring relates to students' transitions to demanding post-compulsory schools and their success there, considering their competencies after tutoring but before the transition. Analyzing PISA and linked register data from Switzerland, we find that students who received private tutoring before the transition are more…
