What the literature leaves open

  • Lack of understanding of how students use music to cope with academic stress and re-engage in learning. Limited research on the role of music in learning re-engagement among university students. Need for further exploration of the effects of music use on learning outcomes.

  • The paper does not explicitly state the research gap, but it investigates a topic that has not been comprehensively examined prior to the study. The study aims to address the lack of understanding of the intrinsic factors influencing music graduates' career choices. The research gap is implied to be the need for a comprehensive understanding of the topic.

  • Metacognitive awareness, comprising knowledge of cognition and regulation of cognition, is theorized to be central to self-regulated learning and performance, yet evidence on how it is distributed across personal, educational, and practice-related characteristics in music education, and whether it predicts self-reported achievement, remains scarce.

    Metacognitive awareness in music education: an empirical investigation of personal, educational, and practice-related correlates · 2026 · DOI

  • Furthermore, the findings indicate a gap in research on self-regulation pedagogical approaches in different contexts beyond face-to-face teaching, including online and hybrid environments.
