Evaluating an educational technology to support students' self-regulated learning

This study will explore student self-regulated learning behaviors in introductory biology classes. In particular, it will collect data regarding the effectiveness of training materials and educational technology tools (the "ZenStudy" app) on improving students' ability to self-regulate their own learning and, subsequently, their achievement in the course. In the first few weeks of class enrolled students will be asked to complete a survey to verify they are over the age of 18 and if so ask for their consent to be included in the study. Consenting participants will then be randomly assigned to conditions (control students will be asked to review a video and complete a reflective task, treatment students will be invited to utilize the ZenStudy application and complete an evaluative survey). Engagement with the ZenStudy application will then be analyzed as a potential moderator of student digital course engagement and achievement.

Be CALM for Early College High Schools

Students in advanced academic programming, such as that provided in Early College High Schools (ECHSs), may experience stress that interferes with their academic success. Although ECHSs provide many supports to students, there is a need for additional programming to support students' social-emotional development and stress resilience. This study involves further developing, refining, implementing, and testing a multi-tiered adaptation of Be CALM (Cool, Attentive, Logical, and Mature), a mindfulness-based SEL program that aims to enhance staff and student wellbeing and SEL competencies. Mindfulness is a practice of Pressing the Pause on purpose and Tuning In to the present moment with a curious and kind attitude that has been shown to benefit social and emotional wellbeing in students. We expect that knowledge gained from this study will be used to advance understanding of how mindfulness may be helpful to ECHS students, teachers, and counselors.
