It can also shape how people self-evaluate their learning success (we refer to such type of self-evaluation as metacognitive monitoring of word learning). By contrast, differences in metacognition and learning performance do not emerge when words are presented auditorily. To measure metacognition, we assessed retrospective confidence by asking participants to rate their certainty about the correctness of their responses. As this direct question raises a person’s conscious awareness of how well they have learned a particular lexical unit, it allowed us to measure those aspects of metacognition that are modulated by consciousness. Such consciousness comes into play when a word is associated with an object. Differences in conscious awareness of the word learning success when words are represented visually make differential demands on word learning across languages and modalities. The observed differences between populations using different writing systems and between perceptual modalities may potentially modulate the effectiveness of vocabulary acquisition activities during foreign language learning.</p>","PeriodicalId":47385,"journal":{"name":"Metacognition and Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140149941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings uncovered a cognitive paradox: pre-service teachers exhibited less sophisticated beliefs, negative emotions, low self-efficacy, and limited task knowledge while simultaneously holding high outcome expectations and mastery goals. Their cognitive operations revealed a similar cognitive paradox, highlighting the tension between the desired outcomes and the processes employed to attain them. They used both primitive and acquired cognitive operations. Their primitive cognitive operations were predominantly characterized by monitoring and assembling, whereas the acquired processes involved seeking and using feedback and observing. Like cognitive operations, their metacognitive adaptations were reactive and superficial, mainly focused on error identification and rectification. Although their cognitive and metacognitive engagement evolved with time, the presence of simultaneous paradoxical elements accentuates the complexity of the interplay between pre-service teachers’ cognitive conditions, cognitive operations, and metacognitive adaptations, making it a non-linear, complex, and multi-dimensional process driven by contradictory forces.

During the interviews, they were asked to explain their perceived reasons for their self-assessment behaviors. While the results from quantitative analysis seemed to partially reinforce the findings of existing research that low performers generally overestimate, high performers underestimate their performance, and those in-between performers were (almost) accurate predictors, results from qualitative analysis provided additional insights into their self-assessment behaviors. After analyzing qualitative data, we identified five categories of student behavior: knowing about knowing (KK), not knowing about knowing (NKK), knowing about not knowing (KNK), knowing something is not known but not sure what (KBNKW), and not knowing about not knowing (NKNK). The quantitative analysis showed that students exhibited greater accuracy in assessing their performance when they belonged to the categories KK, KNK, and KBNKW, while their accuracy was lower when they fell into the categories NKNK and NKK. In other words, students who had greater awareness of their level of knowledge were more accurate in predicting their scores compared to their peers, irrespective of their actual performance levels.

Although students have mostly acquired high-level SRL strategy knowledge by the time they reach college, they often show deficiencies in their application of SRL strategies. In order to investigate the gap between SRL strategy knowledge and its application in more depth, it is necessary to develop instruments that assess conditional SRL strategy knowledge for the whole learning process with sufficient validity and reliability. Therefore, based on four distinct studies conducted in Germany, the development and validation of a new Strategy Knowledge Test for Self-Regulated Learning (SKT-SRL) for college students are described. Study 1 describes the development of the test and the results of expert ratings that speak in favour of the test’s content validity. Study 2, the pilot study, was undertaken to gain insight into the psychometric characteristics of the SKT-SRL, examine its relationship to other SRL assessment methods and academic achievement, and reach a sense of its validity. Studies 3 and 4 present the results of two validation studies for the SKT-SRL; they investigated its psychometric characteristics, convergent validity, factorial structure, test–retest reliability, and its relationship to academic achievement as well as other study-relevant factors. Overall, the results are promising and the SKT-SRL mostly showed sufficiently valid assessments.

Across four experiments we examined whether learners qualitatively adjust their allocation of study time (Experiment 1) and restudy selections (Experiments 2a, 2b, and 3) when expecting a more difficult generative memory test (i.e., cued-recall) as compared to a less difficult non-generative memory test (i.e., forced-choice recognition). Counter to our predictions, we found little evidence that learners shift their study time allocation and restudy selection choices toward easier material when expecting a relatively more difficult cued recall test, even after acquiring experience with each test format. Instead, based on exploratory analyses conducted post-hoc, learners appeared to rely heavily on the success with which they retrieved associated studied information at the time that restudy selections were solicited. Moreover, counter to some extant models of self-regulated learning, learners tended to first choose difficult rather than easy items when making their restudy selections, regardless of expected test format.

There were important teacher differences in both the direct and indirect promotion of SRL, but the teachers who were more likely to design Constructive and Interactive lesson tasks did not necessarily promote SRL directly and vice versa.

After an in-classroom intervention, 316 participants (177 women, M age = 19.03) were asked to indicate how frequently they used various studying strategies and how effective they perceived them to be. Participants demonstrated both a change in knowledge regarding the (low) utility of more ineffective strategies and indicated that they were using those strategies less frequently. However, there was not a global change in their perceptions/use of more effective strategies. Instead, there were increases only for a subset of the more effective strategies.
