Maintaining learning engagement throughout adolescence is critical for long-term academic success. This research sought to understand the role of metacognition and motivation in predicting adolescents' engagement in math learning over time. In two longitudinal studies with 2,325 and 207 adolescents (ages 11-15), metacognitive skills, interest, and self-control each uniquely predicted math engagement. Additionally, metacognitive skills worked with interest and self-control interactively to shape engagement. In Study 1, metacognitive skills and interest were found to compensate for one another. This compensatory pattern further interacted with time in Study 2, indicating that the decline in engagement was forestalled among adolescents who had either high metacognitive skills or high interest. Both studies also uncovered an interaction between metacognitive skills and self-control, though with slightly different interaction patterns.

Background: Clinical reasoning is a professional capability required for clinical practice. In preclinical training, clinical reasoning is often taught implicitly, and feedback is focused on discrete outcomes of decision-making. This makes it challenging to provide meaningful feedback on the often-hidden metacognitive process of reasoning to address specific clinical reasoning difficulties.

Traditionally, uncertainty has been linked to negative states such as fear and anxiety.

Article Synopsis
- Autistic children often face challenges in participation and skill development compared to nonautistic peers, and the impact of occupation-based coaching (OBC) on their participation is unclear.
- A study involving 13 autistic children and 12 caregivers tested the feasibility and effects of telehealth OBC, showing high rates of recruitment, retention, and caregiver engagement, exceeding expected benchmarks.
- Results indicated significant improvements in child performance and satisfaction, with moderate effects on sleep disturbances and smaller impacts on participation and family quality of life, highlighting the need for further large-scale research to refine the intervention.
