It is reasonably easy to understand a student when in a classroom. Learners can be uniquely identified, content can be specifically presented, and advancement can be individually supervised, maintained, and reviewed on a regular basis. In addition, study has found that conventional classroom (mainly of cognitive type) solution, are not always workable in the online setting. Lately, companies of...

This study re-examines the relationships between five mindfulness facets of observing, describing, acting-with-awareness, non-judging, and non-reactivity, affective personality measures inspired by revised Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (rRST). The rRST assess behavioural inhibition sensitivity, fight-flight-freeze approach sensitivity components reward interest, goal-drive-persistence, react...

We report the results of a pilot study that compared the computer self-efficacy construct with metacognition. While self-efficacy is primarily affective and refers to one’s beliefs about one’s ability to perform a task, metacognition is primarily cognitive and refers to one’s thoughts about one’s ability to perform a task. Given their similarity, both have been used as surrogate measures of kno...

We discuss a research-based theoretical framework based on affect as an internal representational system. Key ideas include the concepts of meta-affect and affective structures, and the constructs of mathematical intimacy and mathematical integrity. We understand these as fundamental to powerful mathematical problem solving, and deserving of closer attention by educators. In a study of elementa...

Because both critical thinking and library anxiety have been found to play an important role in determining learning outcomes, it is possible that these two constructs are related in some way. To date, however, this link has not been empirically examined. In the present study, we have attempted to identify the nature of the association between critical thinking disposition and library anxiety a...

This article applies General System Theory to the formalization of the Cognitive Affective Personality System (CAPS). A model is developed as means for understanding the relationships between widely studied constructs at the individual level of analysis: personality traits, affectivity, self-efficacy, intrinsic task complexity, and managerial empowerment, among others. The resulting theoretical...
