Practice testing and distributed practice are effective in enhancing learning outcomes long-term retention. Yet, many students use ineffective strategies instead reluctant to change them because they hold erroneous beliefs about practice. This intervention study examined whether narratives, compared traditional didactic communication, can strategy-beliefs, stimulate intentions strategy use, raise awareness of desirable difficulties (i.e., produced by that slow down the acquisition process but enhance retention transfer). Narratives communication did not differ their change, narratives led a higher importance for learning.

How Does Trait Mindfulness Weaken the Effects of Risk Factors for Adolescent Smartphone Addiction? A Moderated Mediation Model

Behavioral Sciences, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 13(7), P. 540 - 540

As a psychological resource of individuals, trait mindfulness is valuable in facilitating individuals to maintain attention intensity, increase efficiency, and alleviate stress depression. It can also buffer against the risk factors addictive behaviors. However, applied research combining smartphone addiction with use resources relatively scarce needs further examination. We constructed moderated mediation model based on compensatory Internet conservation theory (OCR) examine effects social anxiety adolescent describe how "works" "in what contexts it works better". analyzed 1570 subjects through multistage stratified sampling method. Our findings revealed that positively predicted addiction, while was negatively associated it. Furthermore, mitigated by reducing anxiety, suggesting mediating effect this relationship. Meanwhile, more pronounced among adolescents left-behind experience; we found experience partially relationship between addiction. Adolescents had significant media higher This study highlights potential protective role development maintenance provides empirical support for applying buffering context.

Abstract Undergraduate STEM lecture courses enroll hundreds who must master declarative, conceptual, and applied learning objectives. To support them, instructors have turned to active designs that require students engage in self-regulated (SRL). Undergraduates struggle with SRL, universities provide courses, workshops, digital training scaffold SRL skill development enactment. We examined two theory-aligned of trainings how students’ demonstration metacognitive knowledge skills predicted exam performance biology where took place. In Study 1, ( n = 49) responses activities were scored for quality summed by topic level understanding. Behavioral environmental regulation midterm final grades; processes did not.

Abstract The primary objective of this study is to enhance the English language proficiency undergraduate students pursuing bachelor's degree programs. This achieved through development a mandatory course based on Interest-driven creator (IDC) principles within blended learning environment. IDC was implemented over 16-week period, consisting 16 lessons, at private college in China. To evaluate impact course, quasi-experimental design employed analyse outcomes. performance two groups, experimental group (EG) and control (CG), assessed using Exam (standardized according CEFR) as both pretest posttest measure. Additionally, semi-structured interview conducted gather valuable insights into students' experiences. findings indicate that approach effectively improved listening speaking.
