Personal processes, the environment, and individual behaviors of both teachers and students are factors that facilitate students' use of self-regulation learning strategies in reading. Some environmental conditions, such as organization of materials and clear expectations, support the development and use of self-regulation learning (SRL) strategies in reading. Teachers who use explicit instruction and modeling of SRL strategies have more students who can use self-regulation to read for longer periods and respond to higher order thinking questions. However, there are highly self-regulated students (even though fewer numbers) in low self-regulation classrooms, suggesting that individual differences in SRL strategies exist among gifted students and perhaps some gifted students as early as fifth grade have already attained the individual ability to use self-regulated learning SRL strategies to read and learn. The combination of domain-specific strategy instruction in reading combined with the use of SRL strategies to support knowledge acquisition seems to help more students in the higher self-regulation classroom achieve and maintain focus during reading instruction.

Computer-Based Learning Environments (CBLEs) have emerged as an almost limitless source of education, challenging not only students but also education providers; teaching and learning in these virtual environments requires greater self-regulation of learning. More research is needed in order to assess how self-regulation of learning strategies can contribute to better performance. This study aims to report how an Intelligent Tutoring System can help students both with and without learning difficulties to self-regulate their learning processes. A total of 119 university students with and without learning difficulties took part in an educational experiment; they spent 90 min learning in a CBLE specifically designed to assess and promote self-regulated learning strategies. Results show that as a consequence of the training, the experimental group applied more self-regulation strategies than the control group, not only as a response to a system prompt but also self-initiated. In addition, there were some differences in improvement of learning processes in students with and without learning difficulties. Our results show that when students with learning difficulties have tools that facilitate applying self-regulated learning strategies, they do so even more than students without learning difficulties.

AbstractThis paper focuses on how self-regulated learning strategies can provide opportunities for students with learning difficulties to express their ideas and reflect on their learning progress. A qualitative, multiple-method research design was used for this participatory action research in a special school in Hong Kong. Data were collected for an academic year in a Form 5 (Year 12 in the UK) class setting. The ‘C. Ind. Le Coding Scheme’ from Whitebread et al. (2009) was used in the data analysis, providing an indicator of verbal and non-verbal self-regulation. My study indicates that the teachers’ guidance and feedback could foster the students’ expressive capability. The students actively shared their ideas, and appreciated everyone’s uniqueness in their school learning. This paper offers examples of how to implement self-regulated learning strategies at subject teaching (teacher-level) and learning (student-level), this promotes and supports the voices of students with learning difficulties in a special educational context.

Education has new requirements for teaching the individual how to teach himself by himself to continuous education and lifelong learning. Self-regulated learning is one of the central axes to accommodate these rapid and successive developments, mainly when global crises occurred. Self-regulated learning can help students become independent learners to achieve their goals. It can also reach distinctive performance, especially for developing the linguistic skills represented in speech skills, whose impact appears daily through effective human communication, whether oral or written communication. The research technique used is a literature study. This study aims to shed light on the self-regulated learning strategy to developing speaking skills, and its implications, in terms of the effects of the Corona pandemic (COVID 19) on various educational activities. Also, clarifying what is meant by speech and developing his skills, and knowing the learning strategy and how to use it in developing speech skills. The problem-solving strategy is considered one of the essential self-learning strategies. The learner independently develops his skills and knowledge by searching for practical solutions to real problems by relying on oneself. Self-regulated learning is considered a successful method for developing speech skills. The student's performance as the independent learner can be measured through his various daily social activities in order to help him evaluate his strategies followed and choose the most difficult ones to achieve the goals of the self-education process, and to reach the required level of language skill.

Este artigo objetiva averiguar, com base em uma revisão sistemática de literatura, o investimento em estratégias de ensino e aprendizagem autorregulada em cursos de Licenciatura em Geografia. Os dados foram coletados nas bases de dados Scientific Electronic Library Online, Red de Revistas Cientificas de America Latina y el Caribe, España y Portugal e na Plataforma Sucupira da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior em periódicos da Geografia com classificação Qualis A1, A2 e B1 dos últimos cinco anos. A busca pelos trabalhos teve como resultado o total de 154 artigos. Destes, apenas 25 tratavam especificamente da formação inicial de professores e, dentre estes, apenas 8 atendiam às demandas da pesquisa. Os resultados revelaram a necessidade de mais investimento em programas de intervenção em estratégias de aprendizagem e a necessidade de pesquisas futuras que disseminem na Geografia a temática da autorregulação.
