The document summarizes two studies: 1. A comparative study that compared student satisfaction and learning outcomes between online and face-to-face courses. It found that while both groups were satisfied, face-to-face students had more positive views of interaction and support. 2. A non-comparative study that examined how a computer system called KnowCat helped develop students' metacognitive knowledge. Interviews found that KnowCat improved students' awareness of learning processes and strategies.

3. Study Title Study Questions Study Instrument Advantages Study Purpose The Comparative study : Comparing an online course with an equivalent course taught in a traditional face-to-face format. Comparisons included student ratings of instructor and course quality; assessment of course interaction, structure, and support; and learning outcomes such as course projects, grades, and student self-assessment of their ability to perform various ISD tasks.

8. Study Title Study Questions Study Instrument Study Purpose The Comparative study : Student Satisfaction: On the student satisfaction indicators, instructor quality and course quality, both groups provided positive ratings, although the face-to-face group displayed more positive views than the online group. Perceptions of course interaction, structure & support: Overall, both groups of students had positive perceptions, with the face-to-face students having significantly more positive views for interaction and support.

10. Study Title Study Questions Study Instrument Advantages Study Purpose The non-Comparative study : to examine the development of the metacognitive knowledge of a group of higher education students who participated actively in an experiment based on a Computer Supported Collaborative Learning environment called KnowCat. Study Purpose Disadvantages Results

11. Study Title Study Questions Study Instrument Advantages Study Purpose The non-Comparative study : Firstly, how were students aware of their own and others’ learning processes developed when participating in the KnowCat educational environment? Secondly, which KnowCat knowledge elements have more incidence in the students’ awareness of the development of specific learning processes? Study Questions Disadvantages Results

12. Study Title Study Questions Study Instrument Advantages Study Purpose The non-Comparative study : The target instrument in this study is interview. Eighteen university students participated in a 12-month learning project during which the KnowCat learning environment was used to support scaffolding process among equals during problem-solving tasks. After using KnowCat, the students were interviewed over their work in this shared workspace. Study Instrument Disadvantages Results

13. Study Title Study Questions Study Instrument Advantages Study Purpose The non-Comparative Study : The researcher implemented both metacognitive skills and metacognitive knowledge to measure the criteria. The researcher provided descriptive instances and explained the procedures obviously. Advantages Disadvantages Results

14. Study Title Study Questions Study Instrument Study Purpose The non-Comparative Study : Using only one instrument which is interview collect data. Qualitative analysis were applied without using of any type of quantitative analysis tools. Disadvantages Disadvantages Results Advantages

15. Study Title Study Questions Study Instrument Study Purpose The non-Comparative study : the educational application of KnowCat can favour and improve the students’ metacognitive knowledge. The content analysis of the students’ interviews revealed the existence of metacognitive knowledge regarding the learning processes that students develop while interacting with KnowCat knowledge elements. Students showed high levels of consciousness about learning new strategies and about the conditional use of these strategies to solve specific tasks efficiently.
