Students who drop out of their science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) majors commonly report that they lack skills critical to STEM learning and career pursuits. Many training programs exist to develop students’ learning skills and they typically achieve small to medium effects on behaviors and performance. However, these programs require large investments of students’ and instructors’ time and effort, which limits their applicability to large lecture course formats commonly employed in early undergraduate STEM coursework. This study examined whether brief, digital training modules designed to help students apply learning strategies and self-regulated learning principles effectively in their STEM courses can impact students’ behaviors and performance in a large biology lecture course. Results indicate that a 2-hr Science of Learning to Learn training had significant effects on students’ use of resources for planning, monitoring, and strategy use, and improved scores on quizzes and exams. These findings indicate that a brief, self-guided, online training can increase desirable learning behaviors and improve STEM performance with minimal cost to learners or instructors. Implications for future design of interventions and their provision to students in need of support are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)

简短的数字技能培训干预能否帮助本科生“学会学习”并提高他们的 STEM 成绩？

从科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 专业辍学的学生通常报告说，他们缺乏对 STEM 学习和职业追求至关重要的技能。许多培训计划旨在培养学生的学习技能，它们通常会对行为和表现产生中小影响。然而，这些课程需要学生和教师投入大量时间和精力，这限制了它们对早期本科 STEM 课程中常用的大型讲座课程形式的适用性。本研究调查了旨在帮助学生在 STEM 课程中有效应用学习策略和自我调节学习原则的简短数字培训模块是否会影响学生在大型生物讲座课程中的行为和表现。结果表明，2 小时的学习学习科学培训对学生在计划、监控和策略使用方面的资源使用有显着影响，并提高了测验和考试的分数。这些发现表明，简短的、自我指导的在线培训可以增加理想的学习行为并提高 STEM 表现，而学习者或教师的成本最低。讨论了对未来干预措施的设计及其向需要支持的学生提供的影响。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）在线培训可以增加理想的学习行为，并以最小的成本为学习者或教师提高 STEM 表现。讨论了对未来干预措施的设计及其向需要支持的学生提供的影响。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）在线培训可以增加理想的学习行为，并以最小的成本为学习者或教师提高 STEM 表现。讨论了对未来干预措施设计及其向需要支持的学生提供的影响。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）
