Within the higher education context, peer feedback is frequently applied as an instructional method. Research on learning mechanisms involved in process has covered aspects of both providing and receiving feedback. However, a direct comparison impact that students' writing performance still lacking. The current study compared undergraduate students (N = 83) who either provided or received anonymous written context authentic academic task. In addition, we investigated whether perceptions were...

Peer feedback is frequently implemented with academic writing tasks in higher education. However, a quantitative synthesis still lacking for the impact that peer has on students' performance. The current study conveyed two types of observations. First, regarding performance, this synthesized results 24 studies reporting education performance after feedback. Engagement resulted larger improvements compared to (no-feedback) controls (g = 0.91 [0.41, 1.42]) and self-assessment 0.33 [0.01,...

Increased levels of psychological stress during adolescence have been associated with a decline in academic performance, school dropout and increased risk mental health problems. Intervening this developmental period may prevent these The environment seems particularly suitable for interventions over the past decade, various school-based reduction programs developed. present study aims to evaluate results (quasi-)experimental studies on effectiveness intervention targeting adolescent...

Abstract Project‐based learning (PjBL) engages students in knowledge acquisition, application, and construction through artefact development. Based on the Community of Inquiry framework, this study characterized college students' social cognitive presences online PjBL examined how presence was related to their academic performance. Twenty‐four groups participated a 3‐week project via WeChat discussion created final product. Transcripts discourse were collected analysed by coding scheme. The...

Abstract Language learners in higher education increasingly use out-of-class self-directed learning facilitated by mobile technology. In order to make informed educational decisions, this study sets out provide an overview of empirical research into strategies that with the support technology language learning. Twenty studies were selected and systematically analysed, revealing cognitive, metacognitive, social affective used their processes. Low-cognitive appeared be more commonly reported...

Abstract The aim of this study is to gain insight into the interplay between attitudes, motivation, learning engagement, and perceived outcomes in massive open online courses (MOOCs). An survey was administered 232 MOOC learners. This provided comprehensive explanations for individual differences engagement MOOCs with a modified model expectancy-value theory achievement motivation. structural equation modeling revealed that attitudes served as precursor participation significantly influenced...

Abstract This study investigated empowering students to engage agentively in formative assessment of their English writing. To this end, student agentic engagement was explored drawing on multiple data collection. A Digitalized Engagement Enhancement Tool (DEET) utilized encourage record, unpack, plan for actions, and reflect the feedback they received from teacher peers. series content analyses conducted codify track students’ dimensions practices writing samples, DEET, student-revised...

The present study investigated comprehension processes and strategy use of second-grade low- high-comprehending readers when reading expository narrative texts for comprehension. Results from think-aloud protocols indicated that text genre affected the way processed texts. When they made more text-based knowledge-based inferences, comments asked questions, but also a higher number invalid inferences. Furthermore, did not differ in patterns text-processing strategies used: all used variety...

Abstract In the first years of a teaching career, teachers experience high levels distress, and attrition rate appears to be high. Early-career do not always feel well prepared for their job insufficient support during experiences as teacher. Induction programs, professional development, school could equip early-career with additional repertoire they need improve well-being. The current study aimed contribute insights into importance level preparedness, working conditions teachers’ Based on...

Background. Constructivist approaches to learning focus on environments in which students have the opportunity construct knowledge themselves, and negotiate this with others. Discovery collaborative are examples of contexts that cater for construction processes. We introduce a computer‐based environment two forms implemented simultaneously. interaction between discovery learning. Aim. aim investigate communicative activities frequently used process co‐occur. Sample. The study involved 21...

Regulation of the learning process is an important condition for efficient and effective learning. In collaborative learning, students have to regulate their activities (team regulation) next regulation own focused on task at hand (task regulation). this study, we investigate how support inquiry can influence use regulative students. Furthermore, explore possible relations between regulation, team results. This study involves tenth-grade who worked in pairs a environment that was based...

Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) is an approach to in which learners can actively and collaboratively construct knowledge by means of interaction joint problem solving. Regulation especially important the domain CSCL. Next regulation task performance, between who work a CSCL environment needs be regulated as well. Despite its importance, has received relatively little attention research. In contributions this special issue different labels are used for various forms during...

Abstract. Open online education has become increasingly popular. In Massive Online Courses (MOOCs) videos are generally the most used method of teaching. While MOOCs offered in English, global availability these courses attracted many non-native English speakers. To ensure not only availability, but also accessibility open education, should be designed to minimize detrimental effects a language barrier, for example by providing subtitles. However, with conflicting research findings it is...

Teachers have difficulty using data from Curriculum‐based Measurement (CBM) progress graphs of students with learning difficulties for instructional decision‐making. As a first step in unraveling those difficulties, we studied teachers’ comprehension CBM graphs. Using think‐aloud methodology, examined 23 ability to read , interpret and link instruction fictitious their own students’ Additionally, whether graph literacy—measured self‐report question graph‐reading skills test—affected...

Research skills are important for university graduates, but little is known about undergraduates’ motivation research. In this study, self-efficacy beliefs and intrinsic several research activities were measured three times during an undergraduate project (N = 147 students). order to promote writing collaboration, a collaboration script was developed tested on half of the students. Twelve students interviewed gather in-depth information motivational beliefs. All measures except increased...
