ABSTRACT Creative problem‐solving skills are essential for navigating complex, non‐routine challenges, enabling individuals to create unique goals, execute innovative procedures and generate original outcomes. While the link between metacognitive creativity of outcomes was established only recently, further exploration is required understand their interplay in complex problem‐solving. This explanatory sequential mixed‐methods study investigated role metacognition solving two ill‐defined...

Abstract The unskilled and unaware effect occurs when low‐performing individuals overestimate their performance, while high performers underestimate it. aim of the present study was to examine an occurrence in a self‐assessment creative linking this phenomenon metacognition (CMC) research. 262 participants from four educational stages (preschool, elementary school, undergraduate) performed alternative uses task evaluated performance using self‐ comparative judgments. A non‐hierarchical...

ABSTRACT Metacognition and motivation are considered key facets of self‐regulation in various contexts. Recent studies identified a link between metacognition creative performance, with metacognitively aware students performing more creatively exhibiting higher levels intrinsic extrinsic motivation. The present study aims to examine the relationship metacognition, orientation toward or motivation, performance. One hundred nineteen university completed Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI)...

The present study examined the relationship between kindergarteners' creative performance, global metacognitive monitoring (i.e., ability to self-evaluate their overall performance) and regulation select most original idea). Prior research established a positive correlation accuracy in self-evaluation creativity adults, but little is known about how these relate idea selection younger populations. involved fifty 4- 6-year-olds who completed two tasks (an Unusual Uses Task Product Improvement...

Recent studies have identified ChatGPT as an epistemic authority; however, no research has yet examined how beliefs and metacognitive accuracy impact actual work with ChatGPT-generated content, which is often prone to factual inaccuracies. Therefore, the present experimental study aimed examine university students integrate correct incorrect information from expert-written articles when writing independently (N = 49) or assistance 49). Students working ChatGPT-4o integrated more both (d...

ABSTRACT While extensive research addresses the working conditions of international Ph.D. students in Western countries, only little explores their experiences within Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. CEE countries favour masculine values, hierarchical structures conservatism, English does not serve as a primary language both academic non‐academic contexts. This study, involving seventeen Czech Republic, aimed to elucidate through in‐depth phenomenological interviews. Inductive...

Background: The development of generative AI systems like ChatGPT has provoked debates about their effective use in educational settings.Aims: present study explores how university students prompt to solve complex non-routine problems, specifically examining which prompts are associated with higher or lower problem-solving performance.Sample: Seventy-seven (53 women; Mage = 22.4 years) participated the study.Methods: To identify various types employed by students, utilized qualitative...

Recent studies have conceptualized ChatGPT as an epistemic authority; however, no research has yet examined how beliefs and metacognitive accuracy affect students' actual use of ChatGPT‐generated content, which often contains factual inaccuracies. Therefore, the present experimental study aimed to examine university students integrate correct incorrect information from expert‐written articles when writing independently ( N = 49) or with assistance 49). Students working ChatGPT‐4o integrated...

University students often employ generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT in resolution of ill-defined problem-solving tasks. However, the experimental evidence about effects on complex performance is still missing. In this preregistered experiment, impact a creative task was investigated 77 university solving with comparison to 68 without it. use significantly improved self-efficacy for (d = 0.65) and enhanced quality 0.69), elaboration 0.61), originality 0.55) solutions....

The pursuit of a PhD is associated with increased mental health risks, commonly identified stressors that include supervision, financial constraints, hierarchical institutional culture, and specific work demands. However, previous investigations primarily relied on self-reported questionnaires. In this study, convergent mixed-methods analysis was conducted 94 blog posts written by doctoral students in English (N = 39), Spanish 29), Korean 26). An inductive thematic employed to identify...

Influence of Fluid Intelligence on Accuracy Metacognitive Monitoring in Preschool Children Fades with the Calibration FeedbackHigher fluid intelligence leads to better accuracy metacognitive monitoring, but school age this influence is moderated by child's development and education.The goal study examine interaction between performance feedback or calibration monitoring 88 preschool children.The children group that received (PF) (CF) were significantly more accurate at than without...

Social isolation and the loss of control associated with COVID-19 lockdown led to elevated levels perceived stress in many countries. The present study examines effectiveness 13 different coping strategies (SVF-78) personality trait grit (Grit-S) on perceptions (PSS-10) 438 participants (362 women, M age = 33.45 years, SD 12.48) from second third week lockdown.
