a gyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation , based on the principles of conservation of angular momentum . the device is a spinning wheel or disk whose axle is free to take any orientation. this orientation changes much less in response to a given external torque than it would without the large angular momentum associated with the gyroscope's high rate of spin. since exter...

AbstractDeveloping self-regulated learners has been the life-long ambition of different stakeholders in education. This study was set out to find the relationships between self-regulated strategies as defined by time and resource management, cognitive and metacognitive strategies, achievement goals classified as mastery, performance-approach and performance-avoidance, and the listening ac...

To help with the prediction of school achievement through a mathematical model incorporating goal orientation, course perception, and academic self-regulation, a sample of 380 9th graders in Tabriz was selected using the cluster sampling method. Instruments used to measure these constructs were translated ones. Data analyses showed that goal orientation and course perception have a direct impac...
