Differing Pathways to Decision-Making
This research examines the complex connections between metacognition, reflection, and emotional regulation and how they affect different kinds of career decisions. By integrating these cognitive, emotional, and reflective dimensions, we employed structural equation modeling to investigate their mediation effects on career decisions, an area previously under-researched. Our findings from undergraduate populations reveal that metacognition mediates…
Implementing high-impact tutoring through a self-regulated learning framework
The present exploratory mixed-methods case study examines the implementation and outcomes of a virtual High-Impact Tutoring through Self-Regulated Learning (HIT-SRL) intervention that integrates evidence-based tutoring practices with self-regulated learning (SRL) principles. Participants included eight fifth-grade students from one elementary school and eight undergraduate college tutors who delivered personalized, science-based literacy instruct…
What is metacognitive reflection? The moderating role of metacognition on emotional regulation and reflection
Introduction This paper explores the trilateral relationship among metacognition, emotional regulation, and reflection under the integrative framework of metacognitive reflection. Methods Data were gathered from undergraduate participants at a large state university on the East Coast ( N = 493). The quantitative data were derived from: the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI), the Self-Reflection and Insight Scale (SR-IS), and the Cognitive Re…
High school biology teachers’ integration of computational thinking into data practices to support student investigations
In the United States, the Next Generation Science Standards advocate for the integration of computational thinking (CT) as a science and engineering practice. Additionally, there is agreement among some educational researchers that increasing opportunities for engaging in computational thinking can lend authenticity to classroom activities. This can be done through introducing CT principles, such as algorithms, abstractions, and automations, or t…
Learning how to learn
Professional development in self-regulated learning
Self-efficacy for self-assessment
Examining Relationships among Contextual, Motivational and Wellbeing Variables of Immigrant Language-Minority College Students
Middle school students' perceptions of school climate, bullying prevalence, and social support and coping
Perceived responsibility for learning, self-efficacy, and sources of self-efficacy in mathematics
Comparing students’ self-discipline and self-regulation measures and their prediction of academic achievement
Applications of Self-Regulated Learning Across Diverse Disciplines
Through its research-to-practice focus, this book honors the professional contributions of Professor Barry J. Zimmerman as illustrated by the recent selfregulation applications of a highly respected group of national and international scholars. This book will serve as a valuable resource for those interested in empowering and enabling learners to successfully manage and self-direct their lives, education, and careers. In particular, K-12 educator…

The Assessment of Mathematics and Science Teacher Quality
The purpose of this study was to examine the types of instruments being used to document mathematics and science teacher quality characteristics in 48 nationally funded mathematics and science education awards. Each of the 48 projects operationalized teacher quality and determined how to assess it. The main research questions examined the instruments awardees used to gather data on mathematics and science teacher quality, and the main characteris…
Group Cohesion, Collective Efficacy, and Motivational Climate as Predictors of Conductor Support in Music Ensembles
In the present study, we examined whether collective efficacy, group cohesion (task and social), and perceived motivational climate (task-involving and ego-involving orientations) in a music ensemble predict instrumentalists' perceived conductor support. Ninety-one (N = 91) skilled high school instrumentalists participated in the study. To assess the variables, participants responded to a number of surveys during rehearsals. It was hypothesized t…

Students’ Perceptions of School Safety
An important element of the context in which children are educated is the safety in their schools. The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationships among student perceptions of community safety, school environment, substance use, and school safety with a total of 3,092 sixth, seventh, and eighth graders. Data were used from the School Safety and Discipline component of the National Household Education Survey. Path analyses provid…
