<p>Previous studies have shown that students, who have high levels of metacognitive awareness, perform better achievement levels than other students.<strong> </strong>Besides,<strong> </strong>it can be said that learning styles may affect metacognitive awareness of students. In the literature, studies about metacognition focused on problem solving and learners’ mathematical achievement, improvement in metacognition, and supporting some learning environments with metacognition. Therefore, in this study, relationship between metacognitive differences, learning styles, genders and mathematics grades of the fifth grade students are examined. This study was designed as descriptive study and conducted by using relational screening model. The participants consist of 330 fifth grade students from public middle schools. Data collection tools of this study are “Metacognitive Awareness Scale for Children” and “Learning Styles Scale”. The data gathered through these scales were analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) 21.0. As a result, there is no statistically significant relationship between learning styles and gender. But, there is statistically significant relationship between learning styles-mathematics grades, metacognitive awareness levels<strong> </strong>(MAL)—grade levels in mathematics, MAL-gender and MAL-learning styles. Learning styles may affect individuals’ way of thinking in every moment of the life. Thus, this result has a significant part in education. In fact, parents, teachers and administrators should know metacognitive awareness and learning styles. Thus, knowing these terms can be helpful to understand how the problematic and unsuccessful students show undesirable behaviors since those students’ learning styles and metacognitive awareness levels are not considered.</p>

This investigation examined the relationship between the proximity of critical textual information and selected metacognitive behaviors of elementary-age LD students. Twenty-nine LD students were presented six passages in which information critical to the solution of text-based inferences was either systematically dispersed or centralized within the text. Following a comprehension measure, interrogatory probes were administered to assess three self-reported metacognitive behaviors: (a) awareness of text difficulty, (b) attributions of text difficulty, and (c) strategy usage. Chi-square analyses revealed that textual proximity was independent of LD subjects' ratings and attributions of passage difficulty; however, a significant relationship was found between text proximity and strategy deployment. Subjects who received collapsed versions of passages reported higher percentages of text-based strategies (41%), whereas over 50% of the dispersed condition subjects' responses reflected no strategy use. Analysis of strategy efficacy (i.e., relationship between strategy application and comprehension) further reinforced the significant effect of text proximity on strategy application.

Se analizó la relación entre los estilos de aprendizaje y el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes universitarios de Educación Física de la Universidad Católica de Temuco en Chile 2015/16 (n = 122). Los participantes completaron el cuestionario CHAEA-36 y se analizaron los datos en función del curso, la edad y el género. Los hallazgos demostraron la predominancia, principalmente, de los estilos de aprendizaje combinado (56%) y activo (21%). No se observó relación significativa entre los estilos de aprendizaje y el curso (χ² = 14.324; p =.575), y tampoco la edad (χ² = 14.324; p =.575). Sin embargo, el análisis inferencial demostró una relación significativa entre los estilos de aprendizaje y el género (χ² = 11.257; p =.024). Por último, los estudiantes con un estilo de aprendizaje activo demostraron un rendimiento académico significativamente inferior que sus compañeros con estilos de aprendizaje pragmático (F = 9.517; p = .011) y combinado (F = 14.625; p = .013). No se observaron diferencias significativas en el resto de comparaciones. Estos hallazgos determinan la importancia de atender a los procesos de formación inicial docente desde una perspectiva flexible, adaptada al contexto sociocultural y educativo de los aprendices. En este sentido, se necesitan nuevos estudios de investigación que analicen la relación entre los estilos de aprendizaje y el rendimiento académico, principalmente desde la perspectiva de género.Abstract: The relationship between learning styles and academic performance of physical education students at the Temuco Catholic University 2015/16 was analysed (n = 122). Participants completed the CHAEA-36 questionnaire and data were analysed by academic year, age and gender. The findings showed a predominance of a combined style of learning (56%) and the active learning style (21%). No significant relationship between learning styles and academic year (χ² = 14.324; p =.575) nor age (χ² = 14.324; p =.575) were observed. However, the inferential analysis showed a significant relationship between learning styles and gender (χ² = 11.257; p =.024). Finally, students with an active learning style demonstrated significantly lower academic performance than their peers using pragmatic (F = 9.517; p = .011) and combined (F = 14.625; p = .013) learning styles. No other significant differences were observed. These findings show the importance of approaching teachers basic training from a flexible perspective, adapting it to learners’ cultural and educational context. In this sense, new research studies that analyse the relationship between learning styles and academic performance, mainly from the gender perspective, are needed.

In collaborative learning, the intuition “the more device, the merrier” is somehow widely acknowledged, but little research has investigated the relationship between device-student ratio and the learning outcome. This study aims to investigate not only the main effect of different device-student ratio, also to identify the moderators in the learning context including task complexity, external script availability and students’ familiarity to the collaboration settings. A three-round quasi-experiment was conducted in a primary school in mainland China, 130 fifth-grade students from four classes participated. Group worksheet including conceptual understanding and problem-solving tasks were used to collect participants’ inquiry performance. Repeated measures ANOVA was employed in data analysis. Findings indicate that 1:m device-student ratio could be beneficial, and external scripts, and prior collaboration experience could moderate such effect. The different effect of 1:m device-student ratio to 1:1 is only significant in the situation when students are faced with relatively simple task, and the effect size is larger when external script is present. When the task is more complicated, such effect of device-student ratio would only emerge after a period of collaboration. This finding challenged the intuition that one-to-one device-student ratio could be better. Related discussions and recommendations to teaching were made.

This study focusing on physician-patient interactions aimed to find out whetherphysicians’ gender and experience influence Persian doctor-patient interactions. Sopower strategies in physician-patient interactions were extracted and categorized toexplore the relationship between physicians’ gender and experience and power strategies.Fieldwork was conducted in clinics and hospitals of Rafsanjan city in Iran. One hundredphysician-patient consultations were audiotaped and transcribed during 2011-2012.Woods’ (2006) view was used to examine four strategies of power and knowledge ontheir talk. The findings pointed out the importance of investigating discourse of medicinein order to improve medical consultations, especially physician-patient interactions.Our study confirmed some previous assertions that physician-patient interactionswere asymmetrical. Physicians controlled and dominated the medical consultations byquestioning, interruptions, directive statements and tag questions. The analysis of the datarevealed that all power strategies were applied in Iranian physician-patient interactions.The results of Chi-Square tests indicated that there was a significant relationship betweenpower strategies and physicians’ experience and gender. It was concluded that the femaleand inexperienced physicians tended to control consultations by questioning, interruption,directives and tag questions more than the male and experienced physicians.
