AbstractDespite the increasing use of the self-regulated learning process in the smart learning environment, understanding the concepts from a theoretical perspective and empirical evidence are limited. This study used a systematic review to explore models, design tools, support approaches, and empirical research on the self-regulated learning process in the smart learning environment. This review revealed that there is an increasing body of literature from 2012 to 2020. The analysis shows that self-regulated learning is a critical factor influencing a smart learning environment’s learning process. The self-regulated learning components, including motivation, cognitive, metacognitive, self-efficiency, and metacognitive components, are most cited in the literature. Furthermore, self-regulated strategies such as goal setting, helping-seeking, time management, and self-evaluation have been founded to be frequently supported in the literature. Besides, limited theoretical models are designed to support the self-regulated learning process in a smart learning environment. Furthermore, most evaluations of the self-regulated learning process in smart learning environment are quantitative methods with limited mixed methods. The design tools such as visualization, learning agent, social comparison, and recommendation are frequently used to motivate students’ learning engagement and performance. Finally, the paper presents our conclusion and future directions supporting the self-regulated learning process in the smart learning environment.

Abstract We propose the self-regulation view in writing-to-learn as a promising theoretical perspective that draws on models of self-regulated learning theory and cognitive load theory. According to this theoretical perspective, writing has the potential to scaffold self-regulated learning due to the cognitive offloading written text generally offers as an external representation and memory aid, and due to the offloading, that specifically results from the genre-free principle in journal writing. However, to enable learners to optimally exploit this learning opportunity, the journal writing needs to be instructionally supported. Accordingly, we have set up a research program—the Freiburg Self-Regulated-Journal-Writing Approach—in which we developed and tested different instructional support methods to foster learning outcomes by optimizing cognitive load during self-regulated learning by journal writing. We will highlight the main insights of our research program which are synthesized from 16 experimental and 4 correlative studies published in 16 original papers. Accordingly, we present results on (1) the effects of prompting germane processing in journal writing, (2) the effects of providing worked examples and metacognitive information to support students in effectively exploiting prompted journal writing for self-regulated learning, (3) the effects of adapting and fading guidance in line with learners’ expertise in self-regulated learning, and (4) the effects of journal writing on learning motivation and motivation to write. The article closes with a discussion of several avenues of how the Freiburg Self-Regulated-Journal-Writing Approach can be developed further to advance research that integrates self-regulated learning with cognitive load theory.

<span>The rapid growth of Internet has resulted in the rise of WebQuest learning recently. Teachers encourage students to participate in the searching for knowledge on different topics. When using WebQuest, students' self-regulation is often the key to successful learning. Therefore, this study establishes a self-regulated learning system to assist learners in employing WebQuest learning in a self-regulated learning pattern as well as to give teachers opportunities to monitor and assist students' performance. The participants in the study are sixth graders of an elementary school in Taipei County, Taiwan. The experimental group and the control group are composed of three classes respectively. The current study investigates the correlation between students' self-regulated behavior and their achievement when using WebQuest learning through the self-regulated learning assisted functions and traditional WebQuest learning. In addition, learners' self-regulated behavior is observed and analysed based on the system records as well as their behaviour in the learning process.</span>

RESUMENDurante los últimos años ha surgido el concepto de Aprendizaje Autorregulado (AAR) generando una línea de investigación que pretende aunar los conocimientos y experiencia existentes en relación  con  las  variables  cognitivas,  afectivo-motivacionales  y  del  entorno  de  aprendizaje"  Dicho constructo, pese  a estar todavía en proceso de definición y explicación, puede proporcionar una buena base teórica para la comprensión y evaluación del proceso de aprendizaje de los estudiantes" En este sentido, pretendemos destacar los grandes rasgos que van a conducir en el futuro a la elaboración de recursos dirigidos a su evaluación" Así, en este trabajo presentamos sus principales características, componentes, líneas actuales de investigación e instrumentos que se sitúan próximos a su evaluación" Con todo ello, se pretende ayudar al desarrollo de los estudiantes, desde los centros  educativos,  en  lo  que  tradicionalmente  se  ha  venido  denominando  como  "aprender  a aprender."ABSTRACTThe concept of self-regulated learning has emerged during the last years generating an investigationline which tries to join the knowlege and investigation on cognitive, affective-motivational and learning environment variables. This construct, althought being under a process of definition and explanation, can provide a good theoretical basis for the understanding and evaluation of students’ learning process. In this way, we try to underline the main features which in the near future will lead us to theelaboration of resources for its evaluation. Thus, in this work we present its main characteristics, components, current investigation lines and instruments near its evaluation. All in all, we try to help stu-dents development, in educational centres, of what traditionally has been called "“learning to learn”".

The competence approach in pre-school education, which recommends the promotion of self-regulated learning, raises questions about its impact on the development of children’s self-regulation. As a cross-cutting skill, self-regulated learning is essential for today’s society. It provides for a person’s ability to self-educate and develop effectively and successfully. The environment of the pre-school institution and the teacher, who equips and improves this environment, play an important role in promoting the child’s self-regulated learning. In the third stage of pre-school education children have reached the age of 5 to 6 years old and are being prepared to start school. The aim of this study is to assess and analyse children’s self-regulation skills in a pre-primary education environment in the third stage of self-regulated learning. Self-regulated learning is when a student is able to function and use cognitive, emotional processes and behavioural regulation tools to achieve learning goals. The following research tasks were included: 1) analyse the essence and development of self-regulation, and guidelines for organising a self-regulated learning process; and 2) carry out pedagogical observations of children’s self-regulatory abilities within the framework of the self-regulated learning process. The research methods included analysis of pedagogical and psychological literature and sources, pedagogical observation, and statistical analysis of data. The study involved 41 children who were 5 to 6 years old. The results of the study show that self-directed learning can significantly promote the development of self-regulation skills in 5 to 6-year-old children. To better develop the process of self-regulation for 5 to 6-year-old children, the self-regulated learning process must be easier to understand, with an emphasis on updating, understanding, and reflecting on the learned content, while also clearly articulating the expected outcomes and providing feedback.

The main objective of this chapter is to demonstrate how an instructional model, 2T2C, was used to infuse 21st century skills in the teaching of secondary school mathematics using a smart learning environment (SLE). It was imperative that cooperative and collaborating learning methodologies were included in the teaching model to ensure peer/teacher interaction to enhance student communication, the infusion of high-order thinking skills to guarantee that students can solve real-world problems and think at higher cognitive levels, the introduction of self-efficacy sessions to ensure that all students have the confidence and self-esteem to believe and have the self-assurance to solve mathematical real-world problems and take responsibility for their own learning, and the infusion of technology as a resource in the teaching and learning process: hence, 2T2C (thinking, technology, communication, and confidence). The scenarios presented highlighted the need for communication, high-level cognitive objectives, multiple evaluation practices, and thinking as key to the learning process.
