In Study 1, profile-centered analyses of academic cognitive-behavioral SRL revealed three groups of gifted undergraduate students (N=149): high regulated, regulated, and behaviorally dysregulated. In comparing gifted group profiles with typically achieving students, findings suggest that typical students most resemble the regulated group. Overall, the behaviorally dysregulated group reported lower levels of social and academic SRL and achievement goal orientations from the high-regulated group. No differences were found in trait emotion regulation or self-control suggesting a situated effect of SRL. In Study 2 gifted (N=188) and typically achieving (N=83) undergraduate students reported on their SRL and motivation in their favorite and least favorite courses. Structural equation modelling analyses showed that, for gifted students, there were more relations between motivation and SRL than typical students. For example, mastery goal orientation predicted all forms of SRL for gifted students but not for typical students. This suggests that gifted students may be more calibrated and adept at drawing on motivation to shape SRL. Taken together, the findings from both studies show that gifted students are a heterogenous population, and that there are some similarities to typical students.","PeriodicalId":46343,"journal":{"name":"High Ability Studies","volume":"30 1","pages":"199 - 236"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2019-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13598139.2019.1568828","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45986465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper examines the educational implications of developing the SRL expertise of high and typical-ability students, as operationalized by high school performance, who entered college and struggled with mathematics in their 1st year. Students who initially failed a 6-week intensive college math course completed a 3-h SRL training mid-semester and re-engaged in math learning with an adaptive problem-solving program and resources hosted on a course website. Students trained to evaluate tasks, plan, employ cognitive strategies, and monitor learning behaved distinctly from those who completed a math refresher course. Non-parametric, comparative analyses revealed that SRL-trained students more efficiently mastered math topics during digital problem-solving, demonstrating superior learning efficiency. Under a sequential explanatory mixed methods design, a follow-up multiple case study approach aligned to the Situated Model of SRL traced adaptive learning processes employed by multiple high-ability self-regulators and contrasted them with learning processes of exemplar learners from the untrained group.","PeriodicalId":46343,"journal":{"name":"High Ability Studies","volume":" 4","pages":"167 - 197"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2019-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13598139.2019.1568829","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41254414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We frame this theoretical explication with the Dynamic Systems Model of Role Identity (DSMRI). The DSMRI depicts self-regulated learning as emerging from a complex dynamic system that integrates content knowledge and strategic knowledge with four role-based, contextually constructed, and interdependent components of the role identity of “student”: ontological and epistemological beliefs, purpose and goals, self-perceptions and self-definitions, and perceived action possibilities. These, in turn, emerge within a set of control parameters: the culture, social context, subject domain, and the individual’s implicit dispositions. We describe various ways by which high ability may manifest in these control parameters and influence the role-identity components, their relations, and their dynamic change, as they pertain to utilizing self-regulation strategies. For clarification, we also provide brief interview excerpts from honors college students that illustrate manifestations of role identity elements. We conclude by noting the implications of the DSMRI for future research and educational practice on students’ high ability and self-regulation.","PeriodicalId":46343,"journal":{"name":"High Ability Studies","volume":"30 1","pages":"53 - 78"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2019-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13598139.2019.1568830","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49653209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, drawing on the literature on self-regulated learning (SRL), this study explored to what extent teachers (N = 58): (1) perceived high-ability learners as self-regulated learners, and (2) encouraged these students to engage in strategies aligned with the research on SRL. Both quantitative and qualitative data confirmed that teachers’ perceptions of high-ability students were mixed. For example, high-ability learners were largely described as mastery-oriented and self-regulated, but teachers also noted that these students do not always: (1) set goals; (2) have accurate self-perceptions; or (3) monitor their understanding. Findings also suggest that teachers struggled to meet the needs of high-ability students in inclusive classrooms, often leaving high-ability students to work independently so that they could attend to their less-abled peers.

Research on SRL in giftedness is limited but shows that interventions on strategy use can benefit both high and low achieving gifted students. However, following the Metacognitive and Affective model of SRL (MASRL), self-regulated learning is a complex and dynamic process that involves the learning task; person characteristics as traits (e.g. ability, metacognitive knowledge and skills, motivation, affect); and on-task metacognitive, metamotivational, and affective experiences (i.e. feelings and judgments) that impact SRL control decisions. This suggests that interventions to cultivate SRL would address more aspects of the SRL process than purely (meta)cognitive strategy use.

The present study explored the help-seeking intentions and beliefs and achievement goal motivational profiles of academically talented adolescents (n = 207) who were identified via a special testing process organized by the Center of Talented Youth in Greece. Students were administered self-report scales measuring mastery-approach, mastery-avoidance, performance-approach and performance-avoidance goals, general intention to seek academic help, intention to seek instrumental help, avoidance of help seeking, and perceived help-seeking benefits and costs. Latent class analysis indicated four latent clusters based on the four goal orientations as indicator variables. The probabilities of seeking instrumental help and perceived help-seeking benefits were high for students in the high mastery and low performance goals profile. Students in the high performance goals profile were more likely to perceive help-seeking costs, whereas students having all goal orientations low were less likely to perceive help-seeking benefits and to seek instrumental help. Findings are discussed in light of current theory and evidence for typically achieving student motivation and help-seeking beliefs and tendencies.

Gifted students identified actualized purpose as their preferred mode of expressing social purpose, while typically developing students favored self-oriented life goals. The gifted students also had a stronger interest in social matters and showed a greater awareness of social and civic engagement than the nonidentified students did.

The women described five distinct experiences that highlighted both the bright side and the dark side to high work performance: (1) going the extra mile in their work, (2) reaching for career goals, (3) experiencing flow and a love for work, (4) working independently and taking the road less traveled, and (5) having high standards and aiming for perfection. The empirical findings relate to existing research literature on grit, work engagement, flow, and burnout. Implications for employers who want to retain and develop high achievers are discussed.
