These programs even seem to be more beneficial to academically challenged students, who are confronted with a lack of awareness of their weaknesses and efficient strategies (Kramarski, Mevarech, & Arami, 2002;Mannion & Mercer, 2016;Palinscar & Brown, 1984;Pennequin, Sorel, Nanty, & Fontaine, 2010;Yang, van Aalst, & Chan, 2020;Zohar & Peled, 2008).…”
