Visualization Analysis of Global Self-Regulated Learning Status, Hotspots, and Future Trends Based on Knowledge Graph

Self-regulated learning (SRL) has been an important topic in the field of global educational psychology research since the last century, and its emergence is related to researchers’ reflections on several educational reforms. To better study the research history and developmental trend of SRL, in this work, the Web of Science core collection database was used as a sample source, “self-regulated learning” was searched as the theme, and 1218 SSCI documents were collected from 30 September 1986, to 2022. We used CiteSpace software to visualize and analyze the number of publications, countries, institutions, researchers, keywords, highly cited literature, authors’ co-citations, keyword clustering, and timeline in the field of self-regulated learning research, and to draw related maps. It was found that the articles related to self-regulated learning were first published in the American Journal of Educational Research in 1986, and that self-regulated learning-related research has received increasing attention in recent decades, wherein research on self-regulated learning is roughly divided into three periods: the budding period from 1986 to 2002, the flat development period from 2003 to 2009, and the rapid development period from 2010 to 2022. The number of papers published in the United States, China, Australia, and Germany is relatively high, and the number of papers published in Spain is low compared with that in the United States. During this period, the University of North Carolina in the United States and McGill University in Canada were the institutions with the most publications; Azevedo Roger and Lajoie Susanne P were the most-published scholars in the field of self-regulated learning research; the journal publication with the highest impact factor was Computers Education; and the primary research interests in self-regulated learning mainly focused on Performance, Strategy, Students, Achievement, Motivation, and Metacognition. Furthermore, the most-cited study related to SRL research was Formative assessment and self-regulated learning: a model and seven principles of good feedback practice.

Re-imagining referencing with interactivity

As educators we have grappled with strategies to teach referencing, a fundamental of digital information fluency. Despite a myriad of resources, errors are common and recurring (Jorgensen & Marek, 2013). Students frequently receive static information on referencing and no immediate feedback. This paper reflects on the development and evaluation of online resources for explicitly teaching APA referencing in the Faculties of Arts, Business and Science. We designed H5P resources that integrate into individual courses to encourage interactivity (Singleton & Charlton, 2019) and provide feedback for self-assessment (Nicol & Mcfarlane-Dick, 2006). According to Nicol and Macfarlane-Dick’s seven principles of good feedback practice, good referencing practices were first explained, before students were given an opportunity to practice those skills. This was followed by detailed automated feedback. Student performance is recorded so that teachers can begin dialogues and use feedback to improve teaching. The methodological approach taken aligns with Educational Design Research that aims to address real-life-learning issues through various cycles. Pre-interviews with teaching staff gave a better understanding of the expectations, support and students’ issues in referencing. Following these, students could access the tool and complete a questionnaire about their experiences. LMS and H5P analytics data added another dimension to quantitatively gauge engagement. Focus groups and interviews were conducted to ascertain the effectiveness and identify suggestions. The qualitative data results in rich descriptions. The data was analysed in an open-coding approach (Saldana, 2013) for themes that emerged in response to the main questions asked. Student voices provided evidence of identified themes and were indicators of the overall results. Staff insights about the challenges aligned with preliminary results that tertiary students’ previous APA referencing experiences are variable. LMS analytics showed good engagement and students completed the module in about 27 minutes. Feedback from the trial highlighted the benefits of interactivity and immediate feedback and led to amendments of the online resources. Participants commented, for example, “more practical activities”, and liked the final quiz for its instant feedback. As a result, additional activities were integrated. Some emerging themes from the trial were the relevance, consistency and practicality of the resources and indicated students’ willingness to use them for self-study. Feedback in Semester 1 confirmed those themes. From this round of feedback, the usefulness of the resources was highlighted. The evidence of effectiveness is summed up in that all participants would recommend the tool to peers. As tool development continues, we will present up-to-date data. Further, we consider how these tools might support more faculties and institutions, extending this research to include a suite of referencing resources.

Formative assessment as a collaborative act. Teachers` intention and students` experience: Two sides of the same coin, or?

The study presented in this article, conducted in a European higher education institution, explores the value of dialogue as a means of facilitating alignment between the teacher’s and student’s understanding of a formative assessment practice. The overriding objective is to examine the degree of alignment between the teacher’s intentions in using the “seven principles of good feedback practice” and the student’s experiences of them in practice. The findings from this study differ from previous research findings on experience of assessment and feedback; while the latter broadly acknowledge a significant level of mismatch between student and teacher viewpoints, the findings from this study reveal a clear majority of common features between the parties’ perceptions. The findings argue for the importance of the teachers’ efforts to develop a mutual learning dialogue and the active effort and participation by both parties in such formative activities as self-assessment, reflection as feedback and dialogue.

Learning through Assessment and Feedback Practices: A Critical Review of Engineering Education Settings

‘Assessment’ and ‘feedback’ are inherently embedded in a course curriculum of engineering education settings. These components are indispensable for the teaching-learning processes. It is observed that engineering faculty members do not require any ‘teacher-training’ to join the engineering institutions across the globe. Hence, they may not have adequate experience in assessing students’ performances and providing feedback to students. Only a few research studies have been carried out on assessment and feedback from the engineering education context. Therefore, this paper attempts to critically analyze the literature pertaining to learning through different types and methods of assessment practices in the engineering education settings. Further, it examines the significance of qualitative feedback in assessment and the principles of good feedback practice. It highlights the implications of assessing student performance and providing feedback from the engineering education perspective. Finally, the paper offers some recommendations on assessment and feedback practices in the engineering education settings.

Immediate and delayed effects of a modeling example on the application of principles of good feedback practice: a quasi-experimental study

The learning benefits of peer assessment and providing peer feedback have been widely reported. However, it is still not understood which learning activities most facilitate the acquisition of feedback skills. This study aimed to compare the effect of a modeling example, i.e., a model that demonstrated how to give feedback, on the acquisition of feedback skills. The participants were second-year bachelor students in pedagogical sciences (N = 111). They were assigned randomly to a practice condition, in which they practiced giving feedback on oral presentations, or a modeling example condition, in which a teacher demonstrated how to give feedback on a good and a bad presentation. Students then gave feedback to a presenter in a video (direct feedback measure). One week later, they gave each other peer feedback on oral presentations (delayed feedback measure). On the direct feedback measure, students in the modeling example condition used assessment criteria more often in their feedback, and produced significantly more overall feedback, and significantly more positive and negative judgments than students in the practice condition. There was no significant difference in the amount of elaboration and feed-forward between the two conditions. On the delayed feedback measure, there were no significant differences between the two experimental conditions. The results suggest that, at least in the short term, a modeling example can stimulate the use of assessment criteria and judgments in feedback. The results and implications for future research and practice are discussed.

Formative assessment as a future step in maintaining the mastery-approach and performance-avoidance goal stability

The study presented in this article examines which achievement-goal pattern students pursue in a formative assessment practice that facilitates mastery and learning opportunities. An explanatory mixed-method design with three complementary data-analytic approaches (differential continuity, mean-level change and individual-level change) and four focus-group interviews were used to examine this topic. In five preparatory engineering courses “seven principles of good feedback practice” were implemented as an educational tool to facilitate and create a formative assessment practice aimed at promoting the significance of mastery and learning experiences. In contradiction to previous research, the findings in this study suggests an alternative achievement-goal pattern, and has to some extent succeeded in avoiding the proliferation of unfortunate motivational patterns found in earlier studies.The findings of this study argues for the importance of teachers’ efforts in relation to the development of students’ achievement-goal patterns, and furthermore for maintaining achievement-goal stability.

THE EFFFECTIVENESS OF KAHOOT APPLICATION TOWARDS STUDENTS’ GOOD FEEDBACK PRACTICE

Many educators started to utilize technology application activities in the classroom as an attempt to attract students’ attention and motivate their classroom participation. Kahoot is an example of a technology assessment tool that includes students’ participation in answering MCQ-type of questions in a more competitive environment. However, there are concerns about the ability of Kahoot application in gauging students’ feedback practice. As Kahoot is known to be an interactive approach in conducting quizzes or tests, it is a wonder if it can also be a good platform for giving feedback. In this study, the author will discuss the effectiveness of Kahoot application as an assessment tool in classroom activities following the guideline of seven principles of good feedback practice. A qualitative approach utilizing data from three focus group discussions was done in a group interview setting with a case study on 15 students undergoing Diploma in Communication and Media Programme. The findings present students’ perspective on the effectiveness of Kahoot assessment towards their good feedback practice. By assessing the application, it contributes towards understanding the strength and weaknesses on the usage of technology assessment in classroom activities.

Implementation of a Technology-supported Three-stage Classroom Feedback System for Promotion of Self-regulation and Assessment of Student and Teacher Performance

Classroom feedback is essential to facilitate self-regulation and assessment of student and teacher performance. Here, the implementation of a technology (clicker)-supported classroom feedback system is described which provides students with three different levels of feedback: First, a direct computerized quantitative feedback; second, a dialogical external feedback from peers; and third, a class-wide qualitative external feedback from the teacher. This easy to set-up three-stage classroom feedback system which enables the application of several principles of good feedback practice triggered measurable learner and teacher self-regulation thereby improving the quality of learning and teaching.

Developing the Feedback Process: Promoting Teacher and Student Dialogue via the Use of Screen Capture and Audio

Hadlow College is part of the Mixed Economy Group (MEG): approximately 40 Colleges, which are seeking to provide effective support to higher education (HE) students within further education (FE) institutions. As part of this commitment we have been studying how to improve the quality of our HE formative feedback for written assignments and posters. We are conscious of existing research within higher education institutions (HEIs) to overhaul formative assessment and feedback practices: e.g. the Re-engineering Assessment Practices (REAP) project at the Universities of Glasgow and Glasgow Caledonian (see Nicol and Macfarlane-Dick, 2006). In that research seven principles of good feedback practice had been identified: (i) clarify what good performance is; (ii) facilitate self-assessment; (iii) deliver high quality feedback information; (iv) encourage teacher and peer dialogue; (v) encourage positive motivation and self-esteem; (vi) provide opportunities to close the gap, and; (vii) use feedback to improve teaching. We wanted to find a tool that would allow the use of screen capture and audio to increase feedback options for HE students at Hadlow College.

A model formative assessment strategy to promote student-centered self-regulated learning in higher education ∗

Adult learners are already involved in the process of self-regulation; hence, higher education institutions should focus on strengthening students' self-regulatory skills. Self-regulation can be facilitated through formative assessment. This paper proposes a model formative assessment strategy that would complement existing university teaching, and can be used in higher education to promote student-centered self-regulated learning with minimal effort and time input from teachers. Based on this model, a real-world teaching example on writing an essay as a challenge task has also been developed. This model strategy incorporates Nicol and Macfarlane-Dick's seven principles of good feedback practice that promotes self-regulation.

Formative assessment and self‐regulated learning: a model and seven principles of good feedback practice

The research on formative assessment and feedback is reinterpreted to show how these processes can help students take control of their own learning, i.e. become self‐regulated learners. This reformulation is used to identify seven principles of good feedback practice that support self‐regulation. A key argument is that students are already assessing their own work and generating their own feedback, and that higher education should build on this ability. The research underpinning each feedback principle is presented, and some examples of easy‐to‐implement feedback strategies are briefly described. This shift in focus, whereby students are seen as having a proactive rather than a reactive role in generating and using feedback, has profound implications for the way in which teachers organise assessments and support learning.
