Creative thinking, recognized as a fundamental life skill, is a complex process influenced by cognitive load. While literature has addressed the integration of cognitive load theory into creative thinking research, a comprehensive synthesis is lacking. To address this gap, we conducted a systematic review and deductive thematic analysis, drawing…

A learner can autonomously acquire knowledge by experiencing the world, without necessarily being explicitly taught. The contents and ways of this type of real-world learning are grounded on his/her surroundings and are self-determined by computing real-world information. However, conventional studies have not modeled, observed, or understood a…

Self-regulated learning is a crucial skill that may enable massive numbers of learners to thrive in MOOCs, but MOOC learners differ in their self-regulated learning skills, as low self-regulated learners need support to regulate their learning process in MOOCs. Designing self-regulated learning scaffoldings builds upon an accurate appraisal of…

Given the various motivational challenges that students experience when engaging in academic tasks, there is an emerging interest in investigating students' cost perceptions and how to reduce them. However, most of the research has investigated general cost perceptions with a one-time assessment, often divorced from context in which cost is…

Physical exercise is widely reported beneficial to executive functions in children with autism spectrum disorder. However, its impact on self-regulation in the population remains unknown. This study is to test whether two types of physical exercise (cognitively engaging vs non-cognitively engaging) benefited self-regulation and whether the social,…

Motivational regulation, or the way learners purposefully initiate, maintain, or supplement their willingness for task engagement and completion, has been an important area of research in educational psychology. However, despite the surge of research on this topic, it remains unclear how specific motivational regulation strategies relate to…

The purpose of this systematic review is to summarize the characteristics of recent studies on diabetes education interventions in rural areas and identify the relative proportion of studies with characteristics of interest that showed a reduction in glycated hemoglobin (A1C). A systematic literature search was performed in Web of Science, PubMed…

Self-regulation is the ability to intentionally adapt to changes in the environment (Khazan, 2013). While our body can typically regulate itself, stressors in the environment can overpower these regulatory systems, resulting in dysregulation (Mate & Mate, 2022). The ability to intentionally regulate oneself in the face of stress is important,…

Self-regulated learning depends on task difficulty and on learners' resources and cognitive load, as described by an inverted U-shaped relationship in Seufert's (2018) model: for easy tasks, resources are high and load is low, so there is no need to regulate, whereas for difficult tasks, load is too high and resources are too low to regulate. Only…

Self-regulation is an essential component of school readiness. Although in educational contexts self-regulation is typically defined in terms of volitional processes, it also encompasses the activity of neurophysiological systems, including the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). In a prospective longitudinal study, 102 preschoolers (M[subscript…

What is it about an Action Learning set that has survived and thrived for a quarter of a century? Although now with only one of the original set members, nevertheless this self-managing set can claim to have 'lived' from 1997 to 2022, still going strong. And, as Socrates said, since the unexamined life is not worth living, this article inspects…

This qualitative phenomenological study explores the lived experiences of African American women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) technology and how they persist in the field. The study uses semi-structured interview questions to understand if the Strong Black Woman concept is a factor in the persistence of six…

Computational thinking (CT) is a new literacy of 21st century that can be transferred to and applied in different real-world situations, although being derived from the discipline of computer science. Tangible robots or child-friendly digital apps are used to implement coding education with the goal of promoting young children's CT. However, there…

Telehealth is the use of telecommunication technologies such as telephones, electronic mail systems, fax machines, and remote monitoring devices to collect and transmit patient information for enhanced monitoring and interpretation. Telehealth applications include mobile health (mHealth), remote patient monitoring, and synchronous and asynchronous…

Objective: The current study explored the role of self-compassion on the relationship between perceived stress and resilience among college students experiencing different levels of anxiety symptomatology. Participants: Three hundred and forty-five undergraduate students (M[subscript age] = 19.66; 74.8% female) were recruited from a public…
