Self-regulated learning (SRL) is an important method in STEM courses that can help learners acquire knowledge by discovering, organizing, and integrating materials. However, learners may not perform well without scaffolding, which results in purely participation in tasks without solid knowledge acquisition. To guarantee SRL effectiveness, scaffolding that can support learners’ knowledge discovery, organization and integration is needed when curation is introduced to support high-level cognition in STEM courses focusing on these facets. The researchers analyzed the advantages and procedures of curation and developed a curation tool and a curation activity-based SRL mode. To verify the effects of the proposed tool and mode, 64 Grade 7 students were involved and assigned to the experimental and control groups and learned with specific tasks. The results revealed that the experimental group showed interest in the mode and achieved better learning outcomes. Learners in the experimental group also submitted higher-quality practical work that demonstrated the effectiveness of the mode. Moreover, this approach promoted deep thinking without increasing the learners’ cognitive load. Finally, this study provided an innovative scaffolding tool and mode for SRL that leveraged learners’ knowledge acquisition and task completion. This idea has positive implications for future SRL research.

Online learning using the Flexible Learning (Flearn) Learning Management System (LMS) at SWCU has been running for 17 years. To ensure Flearn's effectiveness, empirical evidence is needed, so this study aims to: 1) determine whether the level of student Self-regulated Learning (SRL) in learning using Flearn is higher than learning using Google Classrom (GC), and 2) knowing whether the level of learning outcomes mediated by the student's SRL level were higher than learning using GC. The type of research used to determine the attainment of this goal is the type of experiment using the Matching-only model Pretest-posttest Control Group design and Factorial design. Participants in this experiment involved 74 people, with details of 36 students and 1 lecturer as the 1st experimental group and 36 students and 1 lecturer as the control group (experiment 2). The experimental group 1 used Flearn, while the experimental group 2 used GC. The research instrument used test questions to measure student learning outcomes variables and SRL scale rubric to measure students' SRL level. The data analysis technique used the Independent Sample t-Test and ANCOVA technique. The results showed the following findings: 1) the level of student SRL in learning using Flearn was significantly higher than learning using GC, 2) the level of student learning outcomes mediated by the student SRL level was significantly higher than learning using GC.

The aim of this research is to investigate the process of volitional effort formation in senior preschool children with general speech underdevelopment (GSU) by visual modelling. The study was conducted using theoretical and practical methods and methods of mathematical statistics. The main indicators of volitional effort formation were determined at the ascertaining stage using methods developed by Smirnova (2005). Methods were partially adapted for 5-year-old children with GSU, and a map of observations was made. Based on the results of observations of children in experimental and control groups (a total of 38 children), pupils were allocated into four categories according to their behavior in direct educational activities. At the control stage of the study, (after the special work on volitional effort formation by visual modeling) children in the experimental group demonstrated positive dynamics in volitional regulation. The number of children, achieved a high level in volitional effort formation, has increased, and the number of children with a lower average level has decreased, moreover, none of the pupils remained at a low level. The results of the study showed the effectiveness of the work on volitional effort formation using the method of visual modeling.

The number of suicides worldwide is growing steadily and suicide in adolescents have a distinct tendency to increase. At the moment there are many approaches that attempt to explain the true causes of suicides in children and adolescents. The authors paid special attention to the consideration of family background as a causal factor in the consolidation of self-injurious patterns in children and adolescents. The results of their study show that in families where parents have a high level of self-aggression, adolescents are more likely to exhibit suicidal behavior. For example, the number of suicide attempts in the experimental and control groups - 20,96% and 4,16% respectively. In the experimental group authentically more often Neuilly autoaggressive patterns, for example, exposure to physical violence in groups of 25,81% vs. 3,33%, the and the application of self-harm of 25,81% vs. 8,33%. The data obtained for a fresh look at the principles of preventive schemes teenage suicidology.

Empirical research has supported the long held assumption that individual differences exist in how students learn. Recent methodological advancements have allowed educational research to examine not onlywhatstudents learn, but alsohowthey learn. Research has found that active involvement in learning, including setting meaningful goals, selecting appropriate and task-specific strategies, monitoring motivational levels, and adapting based on feedback are all positively related to learning outcomes. How can teachers support students’ development and use of these learning processes? The goal of this paper is to examine research that has used the Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) theory to consider this broad question. Methodological advancements recently used in this field of research, various SRL theoretical frameworks guiding this research, and studies that empirically examined self-regulation with both preservice and inservice teachers are discussed. The paper concludes with the theoretical, methodological, and practical implications of the reviewed studies.

There is a growing body of literature that recognizes the importance of applying gamification in educational settings. This research developed an application to gamify students’ homework to address the concern of the students’ inability to complete their homework. This research aims to investigate students’ performance in doing their homework, and reflections and perceptions of the gameful experience in gamified homework exercises. Based on the data gathered from experimental and control groups (N = 84) via learning analytics, survey, and interview, the results show a high level of satisfaction according to students’ feedback. The most noticeable finding to extract from the analysis is that students can take on a persona, earn points, and experience a deeper sense of achievement through doing the gamified homework. Moreover, the students, on the whole, are likely to be intrinsically motivated whenever the homework is attributed to factors under their own control, when they consider that they have the expertise to be successful learners to achieve their desired objectives, and when they are interested in dealing with the homework for learning, not just achieving high grades.
