Learning And Performance

Students who can regulate their own learning are proposed to gain the most out of education, yet research into the impact of self-regulated learning skills on performance shows mixed results. This study supports the link between self-regulated learning and performance, while providing evidence of grade- or age-related differences. Australian students from Grades 5 to 8 completed mathematics or reading comprehension assessments and self-regulated learning questionnaires, with each response ranked on a hierarchy of quality. All assessments were psychometrically analysed and validated. In each cohort and overall, higher performing students reported higher levels of self-regulated learning. Still, age-related differences outweighed performance differences, resulting in significantly lower reported usage of self-regulated learning skills in Grade 7 students compared to those in Grades 5, 6 and 8. These findings suggest that either age or school organisational differences mediate students’ self-regulated learning, counteracting ability-related associations.

Η παρούσα έρευνα μελέτησε τις σχέσεις μεταξύ των μητρικών συμπεριφορών στήριξης της μάθησης κατά τη διάρκεια της από κοινού λύσης προβλημάτων μητέρων-παιδιών και της μητρικής εναρμόνισης των συμπεριφορών αυτών με τις στρατηγικές αυτο-ρύθμισης της μάθησης των μικρών παιδιών. Σκοπός αυτής της μελέτης ήταν η διερεύνηση πολλαπλών διαστάσεων της μητρικής στήριξης και των σχέσεών τους με συγκεκριμένες δεξιότητες της αυτο-ρυθμιζόμενης μάθησης σε μικρά παιδιά, τόσο συγχρονικά, όσο και διαχρονικά. Επίσης, ελήφθησαν υπόψη τα δημογραφικά και γενικά χαρακτηριστικά των παιδιών και των μητέρων (ηλικία και φύλο παιδιών, μορφωτικό επίπεδο μητέρων, μητρική αυτεπάρκεια, τύπος γονεϊκής ανατροφής και ιδιοσυγκρασία του παιδιού).Πραγματοποιήθηκαν δύο πιλοτικές μελέτες για να ελεγχθεί η καταλληλότητα των εργαλείων. Η κύρια μελέτη διεξήχθη δύο φορές με διάστημα έξι μηνών μεταξύ των δύο φάσεων. Οι συμμετέχοντες ήταν τριάντα πέντε παιδιά προσχολικής ηλικίας με τις μητέρες τους. Η ηλικία των παιδιών κυμαινόταν μεταξύ 54 και 72 μηνών. Αρχικά, τα παιδιά κλήθηκαν να λύσουν ανεξάρτητα Οπτικο-χωρικά και Γλωσσικά έργα και στη συνέχεια μαζί με τις μητέρες τους. Μέσω της δομημένης παρατήρησης πραγματοποιήθηκε η καταγραφή των δεξιοτήτων των παιδιών, των επιδόσεων και των μητρικών συμπεριφορών κατά τη διάρκεια της επίλυσης προβλημάτων, με μικρο-αναλυτική προσέγγιση. Οι Γνωστικές-Μεταγνωστικές δεξιότητες των παιδιών, οι δεξιότητες αυτο-ρύθμισης των Κινήτρων και του Θυμικού, και οι δεξιότητες Αυτονομίας κωδικοποιήθηκαν κατά τη διάρκεια που τα παιδια επιχειρούσαν να λύσουν τα έργα ανεξάρτητα. Ακόμη, δημιουργήθηκε μία δομημένη μορφή παρατήρησης για την καταγραφή των διαφορετικών συμπεριφορών των μητέρων κατά την από κοινού επίλυση προβλημάτων, όπως διάφορες πτυχές της Γνωστικής-Μεταγνωστικής στήριξης, της Συναισθηματικής στήριξης και της στήριξης της Αυτονομίας των παιδιών. Η μητρική εναρμόνιση των συμπεριφορών αυτών λήφθηκε επίσης υπόψη για να εκτιμηθεί ο βαθμός στον οποίο η μητέρα προσέφερε στήριξη στο παιδί σύμφωνα με το επίπεδο της κατανόησής του/της. Οι σχέσεις μεταξύ των συμπεριφορών μητρικής στήριξης, των δεξιοτήτων και των επιδόσεων των παιδιών, εξετάστηκαν τόσο συγχρονικά (Χρόνος 1 και Χρόνος 2), όσο και διαχρονικά, από το Χρόνο 1 στο Χρόνο 2, ώστε να διερευνηθεί αν οι μητρικές συμπεριφορές κατά το Χρόνο 1 συμβάλλουν στις μεταγενέστερες δεξιότητες και επιδόσεις των παιδιών κατά το Χρόνο 2.Τα αποτελέσματα υπογράμμισαν δύο πτυχές της μητρικής στήριξης που προέβλεπαν σημαντικά τις δεξιότητες και τις γνωστικές επιδόσεις των παιδιών. Στο Χρόνο 1, η εναρμόνιση των μητρικών συμπεριφορών και η στήριξη της Αυτονομίας του παιδιού ήταν οι σημαντικότερες μητρικές διαστάσεις που προέβλεπαν τις δεξιότητες των παιδιών. Στο Χρόνο 2, η μητρική στήριξη της Αυτονομίας είχε σημαντικότερο ρόλο. Οι ίδιες διαστάσεις μητρικής στήριξης αναδείχθηκαν σημαντικές και στη διαχρονική ανάλυση αλλά μόνο στον Οπτικό-χωρικό τομέα. Ακόμη, η ηλικία των παιδιών ήταν σε ορισμένες περιπτώσεις ένας σημαντικός προγνωστικός παράγοντας των δεξιοτήτων των παιδιών. Οι αναλύσεις διαμεσολάβησης επεσήμαναν ότι οι Γνωστικές και Μεταγνωστικές δεξιότητες των παιδιών ήταν ενδιάμεσος παράγοντας στις σχέσεις μεταξύ των δύο αυτών μητρικών διαστάσεων και των επιδόσεων των παιδιών.Η παρούσα μελέτη συμβάλει σε μεθοδολογικά, θεωρητικά και πρακτικά ζητήματα. Λίγες μελέτες έχουν διερευνήσει τις εν λόγω σχέσεις, σε διαχρονικό και σε μικρο-αναλυτικό επίπεδο. Η έρευνα αυτή υπογραμμίζει τη σημασία της υιοθέτησης μιας πολυδιάστατης προσέγγισης κατά την εξέταση του ρόλου των μητρικών συμπεριφορών στη μάθηση των παιδιών, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη και άλλες διαστάσεις, όπως είναι η φύση του έργου προς λύση. Η μελέτη επεκτείνει τη γνώση μας για τις σχέσεις ανάμεσα στις δεξιότητες αυτο-ρύθμισης της μάθησης των παιδιών και των συμπεριφορών των γονέων που ενεργοποιούνται κατά τις πρώτες μαθησιακές προσπάθειες των παιδιών. Τα ευρήματα θα μπορούσαν να χρησιμοποιηθούν σε παρεμβάσεις που επικεντρώνονται στην ανάπτυξη των μαθησιακών δεξιοτήτων των παιδιών, στην προώθηση θετικών αλληλεπιδράσεων γονέα-παιδιού και αποτελεσματικών διδακτικών μεθόδων, τόσο για τους γονείς, όσο και για τους εκπαιδευτικούς

The purpose of this research was to develop a questionnaire that measures students’ self and co-regulated learning processes during science learning. An instrument named Co-regulated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (CRSLQ) was developed, and its validity and reliability were analysed. Factor analytic evidence from a sample (n=214) of science students indicated that the 21 items CRSLQ consists of four constructs: monitoring, help-seeking and help-giving, efforts regulation, and planning. Cronbach’s Alpha (α) coefficients were calculated for the reliability of CRSLQ scales which ranged from 0.87 to 0.92 and 0.95 for the entire questionnaire. Additional analysis with a second sample (n=40) showed that CRSLQ was an effective instrument for measuring co-regulated learning strategies during collaborative science learning. According to these results, the CRSLQ can be used as a valid and reliable instrument in science education. Key words: collaborative learning, co-regulated learning, efforts regulation, help-seeking and help-giving, monitoring, planning, science learning, self-regulated learning.

The purpose of this study was to investigate self-regulated learning skills of prospective music teachers in Turkey ( N = 222). This study also investigated whether self-regulated learning skills of prospective music teachers differed according to their gender, academic year, daily practice hours, and most recent instrument exam grade. The data were collected through the Self-Regulated Learning Skills Scale developed by Turan. Analyses revealed that statistically significant differences were found between the Planning and Goal Setting subscale and gender variable. The female students had higher planning and goal setting compared to the male students. The results also showed that the male students were more dependent learners. Students whose instrument exam grade was between 76 and 100 had higher planning and goal setting skills. Prospective music teachers who practiced their instruments more than 3 hr a day showed higher self-regulated learning skills than those who practiced less. Implications for future research and practical applications are also discussed.

The Impact

Student-centered learning approaches such as project-based learning and flipped classroom stress the active role of the learner by applying knowledge rather than absorbing knowledge, and preparing higher education students for professional development. Student-centered learning environments are more effective when students regulate their learning and learn autonomously. There-fore, the purpose of this study is to examine the impact of a proposed ap-proach of flipped project-based learning on various facets of students' self-regulated learning, including motivational beliefs and learning strategies in higher education. A flipped project-based learning environment was designed and developed to improve students’ self-regulated learning skills. In this regard, multiple case studies were conducted according to a pretest-posttest quasi-experiment design to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed approach by four groups of students from different disciplines. The study employed a mixed-method research approach for data collection. Overall, the results re-vealed that the flipped project-based learning approach significantly enhanced students’ self-regulated learning skills. It was found that the approach fostered the students’ self-regulation performance among different groups across dif-ferent disciplines and levels. Moreover, participants also claimed that the approach was useful and ef-fective. The findings indicated that students who actively engaged within flipped PBL activities demonstrated increases in cognitive and metacognitive functioning both individually and collaboratively. This study contributes to an advance in the understanding of how the development of SRL can be inte-grated into a flipped project-based learning environment in higher education.

Self Regulatory Learning

Problem-based learning (PBL) is an instructional method that offers students the opportunity to develop self-regulatory strategies as an explicit learning outcome. As a multifaceted PBL environment, the guidance of tutors is important to students as they develop self-regulatory learning (SRL) skills and self-efficacy, the most focused motivational element in SRL. The present study examines the relationship between academic achievement and PBL self-efficacy levels, as well as the role played by tutors. A cross-sectional study was conducted with third- year medical students ( n = 257; 75%). The SRL perception (SRLP) scale, the self-efficacy for PBL scale (SPBL), tutor evaluation scale (TES), and an achievement test were used to gather data in this study. In every scale, participant scores were higher than the midpoint, which is 3. There were positive correlations between SRL, self-efficacy, and the tutoring scores of tutors. As the correlation between SRLP and achievement was not significant, achievement was removed from the regression equation, and only SPBL and TES results were used. The results of the regression analysis indicated that SPBL and TES explained 36% of the variance. The level of self-efficacy in PBL predicted the students’ SRL abilities, as did tutor evaluations. The findings show that students used their SRL skills and had beliefs about their ability to learn effectively in the PBL context. Both the tutors’ tutoring skills and the students’ self-efficacy made important contributions to improving the students’ self-regulated learning skills.
