We introduce one instance of a game-based assessment designed to measure students’ self-regulated learning choices. We describe our overarching measurement strategy and we present Posterlet, an assessment game in which students design posters and learn graphic design principles from feedback. We designed Posterlet to assess children’s choices to seek informative negative feedback and to revise their work. Middle-school students from New York and Illinois played Posterlet and then took a post-test, for an overall average of 17 minutes of interaction time. Results showed that the frequency of choosing negative feedback and revision correlated with learning graphic design principles from the game. Seeking negative feedback, but less so revision, further correlated with standardized achievement tests of reading and mathematics. Our research presents a first-of-kind behavioural measure of students’ feedback and revision choices and their relations to learning. Within the design context of creating posters, we found correlational evidence that seeking negative feedback and revising are good behaviours for self-regulated learning, and we devised a way to measure these behaviours. This sets the stage for developing and evaluating models of self-regulated learning instruction that help students choose to seek feedback effectively and revise accordingly.

This research aims to determine the relationship between self-regulated learning and mathematics achievement in junior high school students. The dependent variable in this research is mathematics achievement which is measured using the mid-term examination. The independent variable is self-regulated learning measured using a scale of self-regulated learning developed based on Zimmerman’s theory (1989). Hypothesis was there is positive relationship between self-regulated learning and mathematics achievement. Subjects were 129 grade VIII students of SMP Negeri X in the year of 2016/2017. Data was analysed using Pearson’s product-moment correlation technique. Results showed that there is a significant positive relationship between self-regulated learning and mathematics achievement, r = 0.351 (p < 0.01). As a conclusion, the hypothesis was accepted.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektifitas pelatihan self-regulated learning yang dilaksanakan dengan durasi yang singkat (90 menit). Penelitian quasi eksperimen ini menggunakan one-group pretest-posttest design dengan keterlibatan 9 siswa kelas VII SMP sebagai partisipan. Self-regulated learning siswa diukur pada tahap baseline (pretest), setelah intervensi (posttest), dan 3 bulan setelah intervensi (follow-up). Analisis data dengan ANOVA repeated measures satu arah menunjukkan bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara tiga waktu pengukuran SRL, F (2, 16) = 8.23, p = 0.003, ω² = 0.21. Skor SRL setelah pelatihan diberikan (M = 3.93, SD = 0.31) lebih tinggi dibandingkan sebelum pelatihan diberikan (M = 3.46, SD = 0.42). Pelatihan SRL yang singkat dapat meningkatkan self-regulated learning siswa dengan beberapa catatan yang perlu didiskusikan lebih lanjut. This study examined the effectiveness of self-regulated learning training which is carried out in short duration (90 minutes). This quasi-experimental study used one-group pretest-posttest design that inlvolve seventh grade middle school students as participants. Students’ self-regulated learning was measured at the baseline (pre-test), after the intervention (post-test), and 3 months after the intervention (follow-up). Data analysis with one-way repeated measures ANOVA showed significant differences between three SRL time measurement, F (2, 16) = 8.23, p = 0.003, ω² = 0.21. SRL score at post-test (M = 3.93, SD = 0.31) higher than at pre-test (M = 3.46, SD = 0.42). Post hoc analysis with Bonferroni correction indicated that SRL increased following the intervention (posttest) with large effect size (d = -1.408, p = 0.009). SRL declined 3 months after posttest (d = 0.752, p = 0.162), yet insignificant. This brief SRL training can increase self-regulated learning with some points need to be discussed further.

Abstract Problem-solving tasks form the backbone of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) curricula. Yet, how to improve self-monitoring and self-regulation when learning to solve problems has received relatively little attention in the self-regulated learning literature (as compared with, for instance, learning lists of items or learning from expository texts). Here, we review research on fostering self-regulated learning of problem-solving tasks, in which mental effort plays an important role. First, we review research showing that having students engage in effortful, generative learning activities while learning to solve problems can provide them with cues that help them improve self-monitoring and self-regulation at an item level (i.e., determining whether or not a certain type of problem needs further study/practice). Second, we turn to self-monitoring and self-regulation at the task sequence level (i.e., determining what an appropriate next problem-solving task would be given the current level of understanding/performance). We review research showing that teaching students to regulate their learning process by taking into account not only their performance but also their invested mental effort on a prior task when selecting a new task improves self-regulated learning outcomes (i.e., performance on a knowledge test in the domain of the study). Important directions for future research on the role of mental effort in (improving) self-monitoring and self-regulation at the item and task selection levels are discussed after the respective sections.

This study was a pre test-post test experiment without control group design having a goal to examine the role of Prior Mathematics Ability (PMA), Sylver  approach (SA) toward student’s mathematical creative thinking ability (MCTA) and Self Regulated Learning (SRL).  The study involved  65 eleven  grade student, a PMA test, a MCTA test, and SRL scale. The study found that PMA and SA took good role on obtaining student’s MCTA, its N<Gain> and SRL. On student’s MCTA, and its N<Gain> students getting treatment with SA attained better grades than that of students taught by conventional teaching, and the  grades were still at medium level.  On SRL,  there was no different grades between students on both teaching approaches, and those grades were at fairly good  level.  The other findings, there was no association between MCTA and SRL, and students performed high perception toward SA.

With this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of constructivist chemistry laboratory on science and technology pre-service teachers’ opinions about constructivist approach and their self-regulated learning skills.The relationship between pre-service teachers’ opinions about constructivist approach and their self-regulated learning skills was investigated. The one group pre-test-post-test design was used in the study. The sample of the study was 58 pre-service teachers from Hacettepe University, Department of Science Education, who were attending chemistry experiments at Science Teaching Laboratory Applications II Course. Self-regulated Learning Skills Scale developed by Turan and Demirel (2010) and Opinion Scale of Constructivist Approach for Science Teachers developed by Balım, Kesercioğlu, Evrekli ve İnel (2009) were used as data collection tools. At the end of the study, it was determined that constructivist chemistry laboratory applications caused a positive increase in pre-service teachers’ self-regulated learning skills and opinions about constructivist approach. Also, there was a positive relationship between pre-service teachers’ self-regulated learning skills and opinions about constructivist approach that was observed. Key words: constructivist approach, self-regulated learning, chemistry laboratory applications, pre-service teachers.
