Student-study behaviors and metacognition are predictors of student-academic success. However, student metacognitive evaluation of their own study habit behavior use has been largely unexplored. To address this gap, we gave students enrolled in three different Biology courses ( = 1140) a survey that asked them to identify the study behaviors used to prepare for their first and third exams and to appraise the effectiveness of each behavior. We observed that, across all courses, students used different counts of active- and passive-study behaviors. However, there were no differences in performance across courses, and the use of effective (i.e., active) study behaviors resulted in improved exam performance for all students, regardless of course, while the use of ineffective (i.e., passive) study behaviors had no significant impact on exam performance. Finally, our qualitative analysis revealed that students across all courses demonstrated similar ability in identifying effective-study behaviors, but students could not explain why those behaviors were effective. Taken together, our study demonstrates that students use various study behaviors to prepare for exams without understanding their effectiveness. We encourage instructors to structure their courses to promote the development of metacognitive evaluation and effective-study behaviors.

A Comparison of Study Behaviors and Metacognitive Evaluation Used by Biology Students.

Right heart failure is the major cause of death in pulmonary hypertension. Lung transplantation is the only long-term treatment option for patients who fail medical therapy. Due to the scarcity of donor lungs, there is a critical need to develop durable mechanical support for the failing right heart. A major design goal for durable support is to reduce the size and complexity of devices to facilitate ambulation. Toward this end, we sought to deploy wearable mechanical support technology in a sheep disease model of chronic right heart failure.
