Cognitive Engagement
Students perform better when they are given the choice of open-ended tasks (choosing what they would like to do) and can often set the diculty and
create goals eectively - better than a work sheet
Classroom Applications
1. Self-appraisal leads to a deeper understanding of learning
Analyzing personal styles and strategies and comparing them with other peers
Evaluating what a student knows and does not know about material
Promote periodic self-assessment of the learning process
2. Self-Management of thinking, eort, and aect promotes self-regulation, motivation and self-ecacy
Set appropriate, student created goals
Planning and monitoring to accomplish goals - how are you going to increase your knowledge of the cardiovascular system?
Mastery based - this needs to be expressed overtly
Consistent review can increase the personal standards for performance
3. Ways to teach self-reflection
Explicit instruction, direct reflection, metacognitive discussions, and participation with experts
Activities that entail reflective analysis of learning
Self-Regulation can be promoted by assessing, charting, and discussing evidence of personal growth
4. Self-regulation is linked to identity
participation in a reflective community can promote frequency and depth of self-regulation habits and adapt identifiers
Models
Do not hide the practices of self-regulation that one uses - these should be open and discussed just as much as the content

Learning Goal Orientation
Students working towards mastery are more likely to be continuously motivated to perform tasks and self-regulated learning
Simply providing students with the information that learning goals strengthen knowledge and performance can stimulate their use (Blackwell,

Students require positive self-ecacy
They must believe that they can complete a task
Peer-tutors should work to build positive self- Built by:
ecacy in students persuasion, observing models, somatic signs of energy or fatigue, results of enactments
Task Value
Attainment value - importance of doing well on a given task as it relates to identity
Intrinsic value - immediate enjoyment
Importance or utility - why a task is important to a student in terms of future plans
Costs - consequences for pursuing a task (time, etc.)

their learning and how this relates to outcome Tutoring, or working, must show value, but not too much cost
Causal Attributions
Tutors should aim to provide feedback regarding Perception of the cause of outcome and how changeable this cause is

Control is the likelihood that the cause is personally controllable

Good self-regulated learners make adaptive inferences, such as modifying behaviour or strategy to be more eective rather than defensive inferences

Online Inasmuch as there is not one theory or model of self-regulated learning (Puustinen & Pulkkinen, 2001; Zimmerman & Schunk, 1989, p. 1), I have chosen to
https://principlesoflearning.wordpress.com/dissertat identify here the common conceptions among them, as described by Zimmerman in the first chapter of each of the three volumes. First is the shared belief

perspective/self-regulation-zimmerman-schunk- achievement (Zimmerman & Schunk, 1989, p. 1). Second are the assumptions that students can (a) personally improve their ability to learn through
1989/ selective use of metacognitive and motivational strategies (p. 4), (b) proactively select, structure, and even create advantageous learning environments (p.
4), and (c) play a significant role in choosing the form and amount of instruction they need (p. 4). Third, is the definition of self-regulated learners as being
metacognitively, motivationally, and behaviorally active participants in their own learning process (Zimmerman, 1986, as cited in Zimmerman & Schunk,
1989, p. 4).
Finally, Zimmermans conceptual framework included four self-regulatory processes. The first is the self-motivation derived from setting academic goals, a
sense of self-ecacy, and values (p. 13). Second is the use of metacognitive strategies (p. 13). Third are the processes of self-monitoring and self-recording.
Fourth is the structuring of ones environment and the self-selection of exemplary models to observe (p. 15).

Supporting the Self-Regulated Learner:
1. Clarify what good performance is
- What is good performance
- How current performance relates to good performance
- How to act to close the gap
2. Facilitate self-assessment
- Student outcomes increased when self-reflection was promoted after giving feedback
3. Deliver high quality feedback - what does this mean?
- timely, positive, constructive, performance focused, provides mechanisms for improvement
4. Encourage teacher and peer dialogue
- Ensure the dialogue being used is understandable, students need to be able to have a dialogue about their feedback
5. Encourage positive motivation and self-esteem
6. Provide opportunities to close the gap
7. Use feedback to improve teaching
