摘要在过去的二十年里，数字抽认卡--即模仿并有可能改进传统纸质抽认卡功能的计算机程序、智能手机应用程序和在线服务--在种类和受欢迎程度上都有所提高。许多数字抽认卡平台允许学习者制作或使用来自各种来源的抽认卡，并定制抽认卡的使用方式。然而，对于学生在自我调节学习过程中实际使用数字抽认卡的原因和方式，以及这种使用是否得到了学习科学的研究支持，人们知之甚少。为了解决这些问题，我们对美国一所主要大学的本科生(n = 901)进行了大规模调查。这项调查揭示了对数字抽认卡的受欢迎程度、获得和使用情况的洞察，对如何在自我调节学习中使用数字抽认卡的看法，以及纸和数字抽认卡使用的差异，所有这些都对优化学生的学习有影响。总体而言，我们的结果表明，大学生使用数字抽认卡的方式仅部分反映了循证学习原则，因此，数字抽认卡的教学潜力仍有待充分发挥。
ABSTRACT Over the past two decades, digital flashcards – that is, computer programmes, smartphone apps, and online services that mimic, and potentially improve upon, the capabilities of traditional paper flashcards – have grown in variety and popularity. Many digital flashcard platforms allow learners to make or use flashcards from a variety of sources and customise the way in which flashcards are used. Yet relatively little is known about why and how students actually use digital flashcards during self-regulated learning, and whether such uses are supported by research from the science of learning. To address these questions, we conducted a large survey of undergraduate students (n = 901) at a major U.S. university. The survey revealed insights into the popularity, acquisition, and usage of digital flashcards, beliefs about how digital flashcards are to be used during self-regulated learning, and differences in uses of paper versus digital flashcards, all of which have implications for the optimisation of student learning. Overall, our results suggest that college students commonly use digital flashcards in a manner that only partially reflects evidence-based learning principles, and as such, the pedagogical potential of digital flashcards remains to be fully realised.
