Self-regulated learning series

Good self-regulators have developed the skills and habits to be effective learners. The key for instructors is to understand how to encourage and teach these skills. Self-regulated learning includes setting goals, self-monitoring, self-instruction, and self-reinforcement.

In this workshop series, we will discuss what self-regulated learning is, how it enhances learning, and learn about useful teaching strategies. Most of the material and background information we will use are from the book Creating self-regulated learners: strategies to strengthen students’ self-awareness and learning skills by Linda Nilson (2013).
