There is a relationship between self-efficacy and the process of reflective learning. How they may influence each other can be explored by considering the steps in a reflective learning cycle. For each step, there are ways self-efficacy may be affected by how reflection is conducted, or may impact on how reflection should be conducted and supported. The paper outlines such connections, thus pro...

The capacity to reflect on one's sense of self is an important component of self-awareness. In this paper, we investigate some of the neurocognitive processes underlying reflection on the self using functional MRI. Eleven healthy volunteers were scanned with echoplanar imaging using the blood oxygen level-dependent contrast method. The task consisted of aurally delivered statements requiring a ...

In this paper, we explore how persuasive ambient displays could induce cognitive dissonance to promote positive behaviour change among graduate students. We developed iFlit –an interactive and collective ambient display that enables a group of students to reflect on their burnout level, and sleeping and activity habits. iFlit shows a garden with birds representing students monitored behaviour. ...

We present TeamVis, a set of tools for sensing and visualization of objective team performance in a simulated medical scenario. TeamVis helps teams, instructors, and researchers in observation, analysis, and evaluation of team behavior. The current system supports analysis of team movements and verbal communication. The system has potential to provide deeper insight into team performance, enabl...

No question seems more intensely bound up with the search for the ultimate meaning and significance of existence than the question of man. In the rush of daily life people are inclined to by-pass the question — until illness or accident befalls them or the suffering of others becomes inescapable fact. It is not without reason that the question of man, of who he is, arises in situations where, i...

The purpose of this study was to examine students’ academic self-concept and social presence in face-toface (FTF) and online version of the same course, and to examine the effects of these two variables on student learning achievement and satisfaction. A total of 257 undergraduate students enrolled in a digital design course were randomly assigned to either of two treatments: one offered FTF in...

Dialogue is a much debated, contested, and interpreted idea that can be understood as a constitutive element of human experience spanning the radically subjective and phenomenological to the social, historical, and political. This article explores dialogue from the perspective of individuals within a small dialogue practice group with a focus on their conscious learning of the skill of proprioc...

Intelligent tutoring systems and computer-supported collaborative environments have been designed to enhance human learning in various domains. While a number of solid techniques have been developed in the Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED) field to foster human learning in fundamental science domains, there is still a lack of evidence about how to support learning in so-called ill-def...

The completion of this study has led the researcher to realize the ultimate importance of effective reading instruction. In addition, the researcher has discovered the significance of determining student’s individual requirements and instructing in such a way that will allow all children to succeed. Spending time with the young reader has contributed to the researcher’s patience, which is a cru...

This study examined students’ self-regulated learning processes and satisfaction within an authentic, inquirybased learning module in a graduate-level online course. In this design-based case study, a WebQuest-based, authentic learning module was developed to support self-regulated, collaborative discussions, and implemented with 22 graduate students at a large southeastern university in US. On...
