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...

This paper explores how self-set security goal orientations and self-regulation theory can provide potential venues to motivate end-user sustained IS security compliance. Organisations have found that it is essential to motivate end-users to comply with information security measures and policies on a regular basis. The research aims to obtain an understanding of the relationship between individ...

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...

the present paper investigated the effectiveness of concept mapping as a learning strategy on efl students’ self-regulation (metacognitive self-regulation, time and study environment, effort regulation, peer learning, and help seeking). sixty university students participated in the study. they were randomly assigned to control and experimental groups, each including thirty students. they were a...

According to Bandura’s social cognitive theory, self-efficacy and self-regulation are key processes that affect students’ learning and achievement. This article discusses students’ reading and writing performances using Zimmerman’s four -phase social cognitive model of the development of self-regulatory competence. Modeling is an effective means of building self-regulatory and academic skills a...

BACKGROUND More empirical work is needed to examine the dimensionality of personal epistemology and relations between those dimensions and motivational and strategic components of self-regulated learning. In particular, there is great need to investigate personal epistemology and its relation to self-regulated learning across cultures and academic contexts. Because the demarcation between perso...
