“…Around 50% of par-ticipants were above average in perceiving their selfregulatory ability in learning. This shows that just half of the new students had positive learning experiences and positive expectations influencing their perception about self regulated learning ability (Betancourt, 2018;Dell'Angelo, 2016). It was only in the aspect of Internal Goal Motivation where nearly all participants perceived their ability to be above average (70%).…”

The transition from senior high-school to university is an important phase for new tertiary students to which they must adapt, particularly in academic matters. This study was conducted with new students (n = 95), commencing studies in 2017 at the Faculty of Psychology, Universitas Padjadjaran, Bandung, West Java, to obtain a picture of their abilities in self-regulated learning. The Bachelor of Psychology course, which is a Science subject, involves a great deal of social science, and so requires a unique study strategy, to enable new students to adapt in the academic field. This study utilized the Motivation Strategy Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) measurement instrument scale, supplemented by a survey questionnaire regarding academic results. Some 70% of new tertiary students in the Bachelor of Psychology (BPsych) course organized their goals and regulated their motivation internally (internal goal motivation). The study strategy most used to regulate their cognition was elaboration, whilst there still tended to be a few who capitalized upon peer learning and critical thinking strategies in their learning processes (40%). The aspects of effort regulation and help seeking were found to be able somewhat to predict their Student Achievement Index (Indeks Prestasi Siswa–IPS). For this reason, the learning environment needs to be conditioned so that these two aspects are facilitated optimally.

“…Emotions have been shown to alter how we think, decide, and solve problems especially in highly charged situations of outbreaks [18]. Further, "[p]atients' perception [...] of our health care system [...], informs, and is, their reality" [19]. For public health officials, governments, and health care industry leaders, understanding public sentiment and reaction to infectious outbreaks is crucial to predict utilization of healthcare resources and compliance with public health and infection prevention measures.…”

Background: Twitter has been used to track trends and disseminate health information during viral epidemics. On January 21, 2020, the CDC activated its Emergency Operations Center and the WHO released its first situation report about Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), sparking significant media attention. How Twitter content and sentiment has evolved in the early stages of any outbreak, including the COVID-19 epidemic, has not been described. Objective: To quantify and understand early changes in Twitter activity, content, and sentiment about the COVID-19 epidemic. Design: Observational study. Setting: Twitter platform. Participants: All Twitter users who created or sent a message from January 14th to 28th, 2020. Measurements: We extracted tweets matching hashtags related to COVID-19 and measured frequency of keywords related to infection prevention practices, vaccination, and racial prejudice. We performed a sentiment analysis to identify emotional valence and predominant emotions. We conducted topic modeling to identify and explore discussion topics over time. Results: We evaluated 126,049 tweets from 53,196 unique users. The hourly number of COVID-19-related tweets starkly increased from January 21, 2020 onward. Nearly half (49.5%) of all tweets expressed fear and nearly 30% expressed surprise. The frequency of racially charged tweets closely paralleled the number of newly diagnosed cases of COVID-19. The economic and political impact of the COVID-19 was the most commonly discussed topic, while public health risk and prevention were among the least discussed. Conclusion: Tweets with negative sentiment and emotion parallel the incidence of cases for the COVID-19 outbreak. Twitter is a rich medium that can be leveraged to understand public sentiment in real-time and target public health messages based on user interest and emotion. : medRxiv preprint their potential theme labels.
