We consider a class of fully self-gravitating accretion disks, for which efficient cooling mechanisms are assumed to maintain the disk close to the margin of Jeans instability. For such self-regulated disks the equations become very simple in the outer regions, where the angular momentum convective transport approximately balances the viscous transport. These latter equations are shown to lead ...

Self-Regulated Learning increases the effectiveness of education and self-control has a high impact on the successful life generally. Cognitive biases heavily influence the decision making process, often against interests of those who make them. Therefore technological solutions that would support metacognitive scaffolding of learners may be very helpful. Our approach is based on Personal Learn...

3.1. Students in Focus "I want to be a concert pianist and I practice the piano a lot. School things for me are less important. I am not learning very much-what is important for me is that I just get through high schooL" (Karen M ., 17 years old) Self-Regulation / Resource Management " If I'm doing my homework, I usually think about wh at is important and 1' 11 do that fi rst. In the end, I usu...

Recently, we have presented the first, truly large-scale radiative transfer simulations of inhomogeneous cosmic reionization which resolve all the possible halo sources down to the dwarf galaxy mass range, M > ∼ 109M⊙, in a comoving volume (100 hMpc). This is large enough to sample the global mean history, geometry and statistical properties of reionization fairly and accurately for the first t...

Self-regulated learning (SRL) competences are crucial for lifelong learning. Their cultivation requires the right balance between freedom and guidance during the learning processes. Current learning systems and approaches, such as personal learning environments, give overwhelming freedom, but also let weak learners alone. Other systems, such as learning management systems or adaptive systems, t...

Introduction: Research on medical students shows that adoptingself-regulation of effort, time, and study strategies can positivelyinfluence academic achievement. The purpose of the current studywas to assess learning and study strategies in medical students.Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in 2014-2015at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. The sample size wasdetermined 36...

Cooperative learning (CL) is a learning style that refers to small, heterogeneous groups of students working together to achieve a common goal. This involves student-student interaction within small groups in a way that each group member’s success is dependent on the group’s success. Self-regulated learning (SRL) style believe on what ‘knowing’ is and how one ‘come...
