Abstract. Based on meta-analyses, intervention studies, and investigations outside of the creativity literature, this paper makes seven evidence-informed propositions about the relationships between creativity and school functioning. First, creative abilities are drivers, not brakes of school achievement. Second, the negative attitudes toward creative students sometimes observed in schools usually concern a small and particular group of creative students: those who are most impulsive and nonconforming. Third, creativity-relevant mental processes support learning. Fourth, creative learning occurs when students can co-discover new, meaningful knowledge. Fifth, school education supports – albeit likely to a different degree – both intelligence and creativity. Sixth, both creative and learning processes are most effective when accompanied by agency and value: feeling confident and valuing creativity and learning are instrumental for generating and directing motivation. Seventh, in both creativity and learning processes, self-regulation is vital.

(1) Background: This paper outlines the results of a literature review of meta-analyses published on motivation and evaluation in the last five years. (2) Methods: A systematic review of three educational databases (WoS, SCOPUS and ERIC) was conducted following the PRISMA and PICO approaches. A total of 54 peer-reviewed meta-analysis papers were selected, analysed and compared. (3) Results: A significant number and variety of meta-analyses have been conducted: motivation meta-analyses focus primarily on contextual variables, self-regulation and students’ academic performance, and evaluation meta-analyses examine the effectiveness of the teaching intervention, the use of teaching methodologies and technological resources for learning. (4) Conclusions: There are two important absences: on the one hand, it is necessary to develop meta-analyses that combine motivation and evaluation, also measuring their interaction, from the perspective of sustainability, and not only of educational improvement, and on the other hand, it is necessary to perform meta-analyses on the effectiveness of the formative and shared evaluation of the sustainability of learning processes.

Mechanisms Of Mindfulness

Mindfulness-based interventions have been heralded as promising means of alleviating chronic stress. While meta-analyses indicate that mindfulness-based interventions significantly reduce global measures of stress, how mindfulness-based interventions modulate the specific mechanisms underpinning chronic stress as operationalized by the National Institute of Mental Health research domain criteria (RDoC) of sustained threat has not yet been detailed in the literature. To address this knowledge gap, this article aims to (1) review evidence that mindfulness-based interventions ameliorate each of the 10 elements of behavioral dysregulation characterizing sustained threat via an array of mindful counter-regulatory strategies; (2) review evidence that mindfulness-based interventions modify biological domains implicated in sustained threat, such as the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis, as well as brain circuits involved in attentional function, limbic reactivity, habit behavior, and the default mode network; and (3) integrate these findings into a novel conceptual framework of mindful self-regulation in the face of stress—the Mindfulness-to-Meaning Theory. Taken together, the extant body of scientific evidence suggests that the practice of mindfulness enhances a range biobehavioral factors implicated in adaptive stress coping and induces self-referential plasticity, leading to the ability to find meaning in adversity. These mechanistic findings can inform the treatment development process to optimize the next generation of mindfulness-based interventions for greater therapeutic efficacy.

Personalized Education

A long-standing ideal of school education has been to connect instruction to a student’s life outside school in order to render subject matter interesting. New technologies enable instructors to personalize learning materials to increase situational interest. After distinguishing three main methods to personalize education (context personalization, choice, and active personalization), we review recent intervention studies designed to increase situational interest, which is necessary for the emergence of individual interest. Across all three kinds of interventions, some studies point to the possibility of increasing interest for students low in initial interest. Despite progress in developing personalized interventions for school practice, research on the theoretical mechanisms behind the success of the interventions has just begun.

Abstract Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are critical in health-related decision making, and are considered the gold standard in research synthesis methods. However, with new trials being regularly published and with the development of increasingly rigorous standards of data synthesis, systematic reviews often require much expertise and long periods of time to be completed. Automation of some of the steps of evidence synthesis productions is a promising improvement in the field, capable of reducing the time and costs associated with the process. This article describes the development and main characteristics of a novel online repository of cognitive intervention studies entitled Cognitive Treatments Article Library and Evaluation (CogTale). The platform is currently in a Beta Release phase, as it is still under development. However, it already contains over 70 studies, and the CogTale team is continuously coding and uploading new studies into the repository. Key features include advanced search options, the capability to generate meta-analyses, and an up-to-date display of relevant published studies.

Self-control and self-regulated learning refer to those processes and strategies whereby individuals exert agency in facing educational demands. This study tested a structural model which predicts that self-control has direct effect on school achievement, as well as mediated by metacognitive self-regulation, academic self-efficacy, and regulatory motivational styles as the variables related to self-regulated learning. The research was carried out on a stratified random sample of 575 eighth grade students. It was shown that the effect of self-control on achievement is mediated by self-efficacy. In other words, students who have heightened selfcontrol and believe in their own ability to meet school demands will be successful in school regardless of the complexity of their learning or whether they are autonomously motivated. The implications of such a finding were considered, as well as the limitations of the research and the indications for future research.

Background: Suicide and self-harm (SSH) in young people is a major cause of disability-adjusted life years. Effective interventions are of critical importance to reducing the mortality and morbidity associated with SSH. Aims: To investigate the extent and nature of research on interventions to prevent and treat SSH in young people using evidence mapping. Method: A systematic search for SSH intervention studies was conducted (participant mean age between 6–25 years). The studies were restricted to high-quality evidence in the form of systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and controlled trials. Results: Thirty-eight controlled studies and six systematic reviews met the study inclusion criteria. The majority (n = 32) involved psychological interventions. Few studies (n = 9) involved treating young people with recognized mental disorders or substance abuse (n = 1) which also addressed SSH. Conclusion: The map was restricted to RCTs, CCTs, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses, and thus might have neglected important information from other study designs. The effectiveness of interventions within the trials was not evaluated. The evidence base for SSH interventions in young people is not well established, which hampers best-practice efforts in this area. Promising interventions that need further research include school-based prevention programs with a skills training component, individual CBT interventions, interpersonal psychotherapy, and attachment-based family therapy. Gaps in the research exist in evaluations of interventions for SSH in young people with identifiable psychopathology, particularly substance use disorder, and research that classifies participants on the basis of their suicidal intent.

A educação escolar indígena disseminou-se entre os povos indígenas do Brasil, tornando-se mais ou menos acessível, de acordo com os contextos políticos estaduais e municipais responsáveis pela educação. Os preceitos e regulamentos da Constituição Federal exigem que as escolas indígenas sejam específicas, diferenciadas e bilíngues. Esses preceitos são, em certo grau, confrontados com barreiras socio-culturais impostas pelos responsáveis pela educação escolar indígena que não são indígenas e que, por isso, não possuem o entendimento necessário para desenvolver processos de ensino-aprendizagem específicos para cada povo. Esta fala é uma reflexão sobre esse contexto, baseada em experiências com pesquisas e estudos sobre a educação escolar indígena envolvendo povos Xerénte, Krahô, Pyhcopcatijí, Ràmkokamekrá-Canela e Apinajé. Demonstramos que um entendimento claro do ensino específico do processo de aprendizagem de cada povo é essencial para implementar os preceitos constitucionais relativos à educação escolar indígena.

Quantitative non-experimental research studies of basic teachers training and its pedagogical relevance to develop or limit the updating of learning towards the professionalization of postgraduate teachers. The academic sufficiency of students of basic teachers to access higher studies has been discussed. The research proposes of these students teaching practice as learning to continue higher professional development. The research has vertical transactional data collection applied to the random sample of 47 students of basic teachers from a population of 224 master's students. The descriptive analysis is carried out in six signal variables, three axes: systems of teacher training discipline, school achievement in normal school and efficiency in master's studies, inserted are five complex variables. The analysis is descriptive correlational (Pearson) and multivariate factorial. The results show the achievement of the objectives of teaching experiences in professional practice and the relationship with productive learning. Attributes of basic teachers’ students support learning based on teaching experience are being fair, consistent, and productive, with a positive attitude, respectful, goal-oriented, proposing alternative solutions to real problems in teaching. The research provides information for the integration of public educational policies that impacts the training and updating of the impacts the training and updating of the teaching profession, attending to educational problems for the teaching development towards postgraduate degrees. The assertive students of basic teachers training with practices and professional teaching is constituted in formative learning for development in higher education The intentional educational training and teaching develop in students of basic teacher skills such as: self-awareness, self-esteem, conscience, moral judgment, empathy, social perspective, self-regulation and formation of values.

Neuroeducation came to integrate the advances recorded in the areas of neuroscience in the teaching and learning processes. These processes, by enabling the mapping of brain circuits, enhance the individual's knowledge and allow the improvement of the functional structures that limit learning. The main goal of Neuroeducation is then focused on optimizing the performance of each individual, privileging their uniqueness, through self-regulation and the enhancement of executive capacities. In this context, the starting point should be the development of the student's profile. In addition to signaling the general academic, emotional and motivational level of the student, allows to create an information matrix, to structure the activities and strategies to be developed supporting an individualized pedagogical work. This resource allows students to become agents of their learning, self-searching at each moment, where they are regarding their final objectives, self-regulating their performance and adapting to the challenges they will face.

Regulated Learning

This study examined students’ self-regulated learning processes and satisfaction within an authentic, inquiry-based learning module in a graduate-level online course. In this design-based case study, a WebQuest-based, authentic learning module was developed to support self-regulated, collaborative discussions, and implemented with 22 graduate students at a large southeastern university in US. Online discussion transcripts were coded via the Online Learning Interaction Model, and learning satisfaction data were collected via an online survey. As a result, students’ social and knowledge-constructive interactions were closely associated with self-regulated processes. During group and class discussions, students were involved in planning and coordination interactions as well as those for reflection and self-evaluation. Students were generally satisfied with the design elements implemented in the authentic activities. The study findings provide insights on the design of the authentic and inquiry learning that supports both social and individual aspects of self-regulation processes.
