The aim of this work is to characterize the process of constructing mathematical knowledge by higher education students in a distance learning course. This was done as part of an algebra course within engineering degrees in a Colombian university. The study used a Transformative Sequential Design in mixed methods research. The analysis also determined the kinds of mathematical knowledge attained by the students and its relationship to the Colombian social and cultural context. The students acquired declarative, procedural, and conditional knowledge, while the learning strategies were often superficial. In a context where power is distant, students take on a passive approach to learning despite being highly respectful towards the educator. Thus, the educational system has the educator at the center.

Metacognitive skills are a fundamental condition for the academic success of contemporary higher education students living in a knowledge-based society with abundant information, dynamic changes, and instant communication technologies. Although a student might have these skills in their repertoire, there are particular factors that might influence applying them during learning process, like: intrinsic motivation for the task, deeper processing learning strategies or having high executive control functions. The present chapter focuses on a few relevant psychological conditions of the student that might influence usage of metacognitive skills during learning in higher education. The author uses an interdisciplinary conceptual lens that brings together constructs from different theoretical perspectives in cognitive and educational psychology. A cross-sectional study was conducted to test the correlations and predictive power of the following constructs: learning strategies, motivation and executive functions on metacognitive skills, using a sample of 135 Romanian students.

Introducción. En el contexto educativo, las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) implican un cambio de paradigma en los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje, tanto en la renovación de las prácticas y contenidos, como en la manera de evaluar la apropiación de los conocimientos. En este sentido, en la presente investigación se analiza la incidencia que tiene la implementación de las estrategias didácticas, Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas (ABP) y Aprendizaje Colaborativo (AC) en el fortalecimiento de los niveles de razonamiento, a través de la integración de la tecnología a la educación superior.Método. La investigación presenta enfoque cuantitativo, con diseño cuasiexperimental en la cual participaron 35 estudiantes de la Universidad Colegio Mayor de Cundinamarca en Bogotá - Colombia, a quienes se les aplicó un pre y un post test, usando el Lawson´s Classroom Test of Scientific ReasoningResultados. Con la información obtenida y al realizar un análisis estadístico descriptivo es posible afirmar que un 85.29% del total de estudiantes aún se encuentran en el nivel de razonamiento concreto, sin embargo aquellos estudiantes que participaron en la estrategia didáctica de ABP presentaron una mejora en su nivel de razonamiento, pasando del nivel de razonamiento concreto al nivel formal y post-formal.Conclusiones. Los resultados obtenidos permiten concluir que no existe una diferencia estadísticamente significativa en la mejora de las habilidades de razonamiento antes y después de la aplicación de las estrategias didácticas, ya que al comparar el razonamiento de los estudiantes se evidencia que en su mayoría aún se encuentran en el nivel de razonamiento concreto, es decir, que permanecen ligados a una realidad empírica con un pensamiento pre-operacional.

Online Learning Readiness

This study aims to investigate the online learning readiness of learners and to examine this readiness according to various variables. The descriptive survey model was used in this study. The data of the study were collected from 1963 higher education students who participated voluntarily according to the convenience sampling method. Demographic information form and online learning readiness scale were used as data collection tools. The pandemic period academic grade point means of students constitute their academic achievement for this study. MANOVA was used to investigate whether the demographic variables influenced the readiness sub-factor mean scores of the students. One-factor ANOVA was used to determine whether the academic achievements of the students differ significantly according to their readiness levels. In this study, it was observed that the students had moderate-level readiness, but they were close to the high-level limit. It was observed that gender, education level and the faculty/college were effective on readiness while the grade level and the type of education were not effective. Learners who have a personal computer, internet connection or smart mobile phone are more ready for online learning. In addition, students with a high level of readiness got academically more successful. Readiness is crucial in the success of the experiences and activities to be performed in the online learning environment. Increasing the technological facilities and computer use, the competence of learners will increase online learning readiness and academic success.

There continues to be a significant increase in the number of post retirement employees (i.e., baby boomers/older workers) in the workforce, either having remained in the organization after retirement or having returned to the workforce in different capacities for varying reasons after their initial separation. A resulting accompaniment to this labor force increase is the increase in the number of boomers who will seek higher education to equip themselves with the skills needed to remain competitive in the workplace. With the advent of online learning, however, the higher education landscape is different from when baby boomers first attended college. This chapter explores the experiences of baby boomers who are pursing graduate studies in an online environment and will discuss appropriate learning strategies for baby boomers to facilitate academic success for this group of learners.

The present study investigates the effects of cooperative learning on learning strategies of 72 second-year Vietnamese higher education students toward the Research Methods in Education course over a nine-week course. These students were divided into two matched groups of 36 to be taught by the same lecturer. In the control group, cooperative learning was used, while in the experimental group, lecture-based teaching was employed. Results showed that students who were instructed using lecture-based teaching had lower scores on the post-tests of resource management and cognitive - metacognitive strategies than did the students who were instructed using cooperative learning. Implications for educators and further research are suggested for a less competitive and more effective learning outcome.

The Coronavirus epidemic 2019 has a serious impact on the education system of Thailand. Therefore, the research aims (1) to study and compare the academic achievement of higher education students affected by the situation of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic, (2) to construct an academic achievement model with educational engineering technology to support the learning management process of higher education institutions, and (3) to evaluate the academic achievement model. The research approaches were carried out according to the theory of data mining development using the CRISP-DM methodology (Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining). The data collection was divided into two main parts according to the educational situation. The first part is a normal situation with data collected from 506 students form four courses during the second semester in the academic year of 2019. On the other hand, the second part is an abnormal situation with data collected from 475 students from four courses during the first semester in the academic year of 2020. From the research results and findings, the researchers believe that both of the traditional and online teaching and learning management enabled learners to make an academic achievement. It is imperative that the teacher is aware of the learner’s importance to graduate on time. For the future, the researcher needs to present the findings to the stakeholders in order to prepare for the unexpected situation.
