Cognition, Confidence, and Emotion: Unpacking Metacognitive and Motivational Dynamics

Fri, April 10, 9:45 to 11:15am PDT (9:45 to 11:15am PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: Ground Floor, Gold 4

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

This collection of studies investigates how metacognitive knowledge, emotional regulation, and motivational beliefs shape learning and performance in STEM contexts. Findings reveal that confidence and reasoning orientation influence epistemic shifts in socioscientific thinking, while test anxiety and monitoring co-develop in distinct patterns. College students show uneven metacognitive knowledge across learning strategies, with gaps in understanding interleaving and retrieval practice. Emotion regulation profiles among engineering students relate to resilience and academic outcomes. A meta-analysis confirms that seductive details hinder learning via extraneous cognitive load. Together, these studies highlight the complex interplay between cognition, emotion, and motivation, offering theoretical insights and practical implications for designing interventions that support self-regulated learning and academic success in STEM education.
