{"pk":24619,"title":"Differences in Learning Novel and Partially Known Concepts: Exploring Children's Self-Regulated Choices","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Self-regulated learning may be crucial for goal setting, progress monitoring, and adaptive problem-solving. The ability to find and recognize relevant and reliable information has become increasingly valuable. Therefore, to understand self-regulated learning processes, we interviewed 138 9-11-year-olds to analyze their information-seeking behaviors when learning either novel or partially known concepts by themselves.\nChildren's responses were categorized into two groups: Human-Sources Learners and Platform Learners. Results revealed an overall preference for Platforms (73.23%). Interestingly, when learning novel concepts, the proportion favoring Human-Sources increased significantly (34.56% versus 18.80%).\nMost of the children mentioned changing their strategy when stuck during the learning process (79.93%), with Platform Learners showing higher adaptability (89.34%) than Human-Sources learners (54.17%).\nThese findings deepen our understanding of children's decision-making regarding learning, aiding teachers in guiding their learning processes more efficiently, valuable not only in educational settings, but also in their personal and professional lives.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Cognitive Neuroscience; Education; Learning; Comparative Analysis; Statistics"}],"section":"Abstracts","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2b4760s1","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Julieta","middle_name":"","last_name":"Goldstein","name_suffix":"","institution":"Universidad Torcuato Di Tella","department":""},{"first_name":"Carolina","middle_name":"A","last_name":"Gattei","name_suffix":"","institution":"Universidad Torcuato Di Tella","department":""},{"first_name":"Cecilia","middle_name":"","last_name":"Calero","name_suffix":"","institution":"Universidad Torcuato Di Tella","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2024-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24619/galley/17982/download/"}]}
