What the literature leaves open
The lack of effective training programs to enhance metacognitive abilities of both children and teachers.
Future research could adapt the study to nonformal education settings. Future research could examine the impact of LA-based guidance on teachers' perceptions. Future research could investigate the effects of LA-based guidance on student outcomes in different contexts.
Impact of Learning Analytics Guidance on Student Self-Regulated Learning Skills, Performance, and Satisfaction: A Mixed Methods Study · 2024 · DOIPrevious research lacks clarity in describing the interaction between prior knowledge, self-regulated learning skills, and cognitive load in learner-controlled environments. The nature of relationships between these constructs remains unexplored.
The Interplay of Self-Regulated Learning, Cognitive Load, and Performance in Learner-Controlled Environments · 2024 · DOIThe study identifies a gap in understanding how motivational strategies are developed in different learning methods.
Self-Regulated Learning in Science Classes with a Discovery Learning Environment and Collaborative Discovery Learning Environment · 2024 · DOIIt also encounters the challenge of solving problems raised by the lack of bibliography on this subject. The study must work with students of different ages and schools, which can be a challenge in terms of data collection and analysis.
The distinction between Technology and Engineering, which can be challenging. The need to consider social impacts in the application of Technology.
The lack of pedagogical models for STEM education from Iberoamerica or Europe. The need for a robust epistemological and pedagogical framework to design a coherent and viable didactic model.
The systematic promotion of self-regulated learning in the classroom remains limited. Little attention has been paid to promoting self-regulated learning in primary schools. The impact of treatment integrity on self-regulated learning outcomes has not been fully considered.
Effects of a Teacher-Led Intervention Fostering Self-Regulated Learning and Reading among 5th and 6th Graders—Treatment Integrity Matters · 2024 · DOIThe study highlights the need for effective strategies to support these students. The research notes the demographic cliff and the decline in first-time, full-time freshmen enrolling in colleges and universities.
Examining the Effects of Peer-Led Team Learning as a Support for Community College Transfer Students’ STEM Achievement · 2024 · DOIThe lack of effective integration of peer feedback in computer-supported collaborative-inquiry learning environments. The dominance of a transmission-based interpretation of formative assessment in the current literature. The need for structured support mechanisms within peer feedback tools to promote peer feedback dialogues.
The need for a deeper understanding of how students learn algebraic generalisation in digital interactive mathematics learning environments. The lack of methods to analyse the development of algebraic thinking in students interacting with DIMLEs.
How Learning to Speak the Language of a Computer-Based Digital Environment Can Plant Seeds of Algebraic Generalisation: The Case of a 12-Year-Old Student and eXpresser · 2024 · DOIBalancing the need for structure with the need for flexibility in the approach.
The need to design didactic proposals that allow self-regulation profiles to evolve from the lowest to the highest levels. The importance of self-regulation in pre-service teachers is recognized, but the specific profiles and characteristics are not well understood.
Self-Regulation Profiles of Pre-Service Mathematics Teachers for Primary Education in Mathematical Problem-Solving Contexts · 2024 · DOILearners who lack self-regulation skills may struggle to remain engaged and motivated in online learning. Online learning engagement has become an issue that might hinder the quality of online learning. The non-normal distribution of the sample size was a challenge that was addressed using Maximum Likelihood with robust standard errors.
The Effect of Self-Regulated Learning and Community of Inquiry on the Online Learning Engagement of Chinese as Foreign Language Learners · 2024 · DOIThe study was conducted in a single university setting. The sample size was limited to 110 students. The study only examined the impact of LA-based guidance on student performance and SRL skills. The study did not examine the long-term effects of LA-based guidance.
Impact of Learning Analytics Guidance on Student Self-Regulated Learning Skills, Performance, and Satisfaction: A Mixed Methods Study · 2024 · DOIThe process of self-monitoring itself may add cognitive load, potentially reducing both self-monitoring accuracy and overall performance.
The Effect of Self-Monitoring on Mental Effort and Problem-Solving Performance: A Mixed-Methods Study · 2024 · DOIThe study only reports on the third iteration of the PD, which was conducted with one middle school mathematics teacher. The class periods were limited to 45 min in length.
Middle school science teachers cannot realistically provide all the guidance students need. Highly specific guidance and guidance providing the answer may have limited or only short-term benefits.
