Aim: This study aimed to investigate effectiveness of Group Metacognitive Therapy (MCT) on internet addiction and cognitive-emotional regulation among adolescents. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was used which included pre-tests, post-tests, and follow-ups. In 2020-2021 academic years, all boy adolescents in Qazvin were included in study. Thirty adolescents were randomly selected and ass...

According to research examining self‐regulated learning (SRL), we regard individual regulation as a specific sequence of regulatory activities. Ideally, students perform various learning activities, such as analyzing, monitoring, and evaluating cognitive and motivational aspects during learning. Metacognitive prompts can foster SRL by inducing regulatory activities, w...

This paper discusses Betty’s Brain, a teachable agent in the domain of ecosystems that combines learning by teaching with self-regulation mentoring to promote deep learning and understanding. Two studies demonstrate the effectiveness of this system. The first study focused on components that define student-teacher interactions in the learning by teaching task. The second study examined the valu...

Teaching students self-regulatory skills in addition to classical subject-matter knowledge is currently viewed as one of the major goals of education. At the same time, self-regulated learning (SRL) is a vital prerequisite for the successful acquisition of knowledge in school and beyond, and is thus of particular importance with respect to lifelong learning. In view of the difficulties in predi...

Learning protocols are a promising follow-up course work. A learning protocol is a written explication of one’s learning processes and outcomes. According to the self-regulation view of writing-to-learn, such writing assignments have to be supported. In this study, learning protocols were structured by prompts to elicit important learning activities as they are postulated in a cyclical model of...

Even though critical thinking abilities are emphasized as being essential for Pre-Service Teachers (PSTs), it has been discovered through studies that PSTs' fall short of expectations. Soft Skills-Based Metacognitive Approach is a learning approach which utilizes capability particularly in skills. This study aims to determine the Implementation Improving Critical Thinking Skills based on three ...

BACKGROUND Although much research has examined the impact of question generation on students' reading comprehension and learning from lectures, far less research has analysed its influence on how students learn and study science. The present study aims to bridge this knowledge gap. METHOD Using a quasi-experimental design, three complete ninth-grade science classes, with a total of 72 student...

Metacognition is a well-researched construct important to successful learning. Recent studies show that state-level metacognition regarding self-control conflicts also for successfully resolving these conflicts. Because there exists no scale assess trait-level in and because of limitations commonly used measures research, we adapted widely self-regulated learning, the Metacognitive Awareness In...

Perspective taking is defined as the social cognitive function of imagining the world or imagining oneself from another's viewpoint. Previously, we reported that behavioral activation increased the dorsal medial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) activation during other perspective self-referential processing for positive words in subthreshold depression, but did not report whether metacognitive functio...

Recent research in case-based reasoning suggests the use of metacognitive approaches to control the reasoning process. Whereas most of this research focuses on issues related to retrieval and representation, we describe a metacognitive approach to case adaptation based on the generation of questions and answers. The answer generation utilizes particular planning knowledge in the form of introsp...
