Master of Education in Human Development, Learning, and Culture - Self-Regulated Learning

Across North America, “self-regulated learning” is being associated with the kinds of “21st century learning skills” that schools need to foster, if today’s learners are to experience success from primary grades through the adult years. Self-regulation is critical because it entails learners’ adaptive engagement in activity within particular environments (e.g., students’ successful navigation of academic work in schools). Models of self-regulation describe how “metacognition” (e.g., understanding oneself as a learner), motivationemotions, and strategic action combine to ensure success in learning. Research suggests that these models provide a powerful framework from which educators can build to better understand challengessuccesses in students’ learning and engagement, and for constructing practices that foster students’ development as empowered, strategic learners.
