This paper presents some findings of the investigation "Self-regulated learning in engineering students of the Army Engineering Faculty (FIE)". The central theoretical contributions on the “self-regulation of learning” comes from theconceptual approaches of Zimmerman and Pintrich since they allow the understanding of the processes that takes placein the control of: thoughts, feelings, motivations and actions for the achievement of the learning objectives.It was found that to achieve this self-regulation in their learning, the students in this sample developed strategies throughwhich they manage and internalize resources from the academic environment. They are grouped into two large catego-ries: group study and the use of elements of the environment. The dynamics of conformation and functioning of work incollaborative study teams are similar among students. In addition, they describe the progressive use of elements of theinstitutional environment: study spaces, materials, technologies, institutional devices and also codes and dynamics ofsocial interaction typical of this faculty. The achievement of self-regulation implies the progressive incorporation of theresources of the academic context and this is a process that demands time and effort from the student. The acquisitionof self-regulation is evidence of the solid construction of the student ́s craft and a successful educational affiliation tothe university context.

Evaluation Of Learning

The aim of the intervention based on the self-regulation theory by Zimmerman (2000) was to promote a powerful learning environment for supporting self-regulated learning by using learning materials. In the study, primary school teachers were asked to implement specific learning materials into their regular mathematics lessons in grade four. These learning materials focused on particular (meta)cognitive and motivational components of self-regulated learning and were subdivided into six units, with which the students of the experimental group were asked to deal with on a weekly basis. The evaluation was based on a quasiexperimental pre-/postcontrol-group design combined with a time series design. Altogether, 135 fourth graders participated in the study. The intervention was evaluated by a self-regulated learning questionnaire, mathematics test, and process data gathered through structured learning diaries for a period of six weeks. The results revealed that students with the self-regulated learning training maintained their level of self-reported self-regulated learning activities from pre- to posttest, whereas a significant decline was observed for the control students. Regarding students’ mathematical achievement, a slightly greater improvement was found for the students with self-regulated learning training.

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.

This work presents the initial findings of the research “Self-regulated learning in Engineering students from the Army Engineering College (FIE)”. The sample of this study was made up of students from the 2016 cohort. Zimmerman’s cyclical model of “self-regulation of learning” is the main theoretical reference of this research since it allows the understanding of the processes that take place in the control of: thoughts, feelings, motivations and actions to achieve the learning objectives. It was found that for the achievement of this self-regulation in their learning a resource that they use as academic support is Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Access to the same YouTube channels and websites is similar among students. The interviewees unanimously mentioned a distinctive human trait of this faculty: the closeness and familiarity in the treatment between teachers and students. This trust is what drives them to interact freely with their teachers and allows them to raise questions and concerns through different communication channels. In summary, human communication and the effective presence of teachers enhance the use of ICTs, since they ultimately provide feedback and benefit students in accessing comprehension strategies that contribute to their academic self-regulation.

A sociedade atual, do conhecimento e da informação, requer do ensino superior novas dinâmicas mediadas pelas tecnologias, constituindo-se, nesse contexto, a Educação a Distância como modalidade de ensino privilegiada. Tornam-se relevantes a análise e a compreensão das formas de aquisição de conhecimento nessa modalidade por parte dos alunos, sendo o estudo da variável autorregulação da aprendizagem priorizada dada a sua importância para o sucesso acadêmico dos mesmos. O presente trabalho, após pesquisa guiada pelos atuais e credíveis repositórios português e brasileiro, RCAAP e CAPES, analisou artigos, dissertações de mestrado e teses de doutorado no âmbito da autorregulação da aprendizagem na Educação a Distância publicados no Brasil e em Portugal no período de 2010 a 2015. Os resultados encontrados apontam para quatro abordagens principais: o portfólio, como instrumento com imenso potencial da aprendizagem autorregulada; as estratégias de aprendizagem como extremamente importantes nos processos de autorregulação; estudos centrados no tutor e na forma como estes podem promover a autorregulação nos alunos; e, por último, as TIC, ou seja, as aplicações hipermédia como apoio à aprendizagem autorregulada. São necessários estudos mais aprofundados sobre este tema, incluindo a ampliação das plataformas de busca para um resultado mais abrangente.Palavras-chave: Autorregulação, E-learning, Educação a Distância. Self Regulation of Learning in the E-Learning Area - Analysis of the Scientific Works Performed in Brazil and Portugal in the Period of 2010 to 2015AbstractHigher education includes an integration of various technological tools and distance education is constituted as a privileged mode of education.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the linkage of case-based instruction with the enhancement of self-regulated learning of employees. Specific objectives are to review and describe: some characteristics of adult learning, features and functions of self-regulated learning (SRL) and the instructional approach, case-based learning (CBL), followed by a synthesis of the information in the form of a detailed, CBL approach for practitioner use. Design/methodology/approach The approach used in this work is represented in the following phases. First, conduct a literature review of each of these areas: characteristics of adult learners, details of SRL and its components, accompanied by the expression of linkages among the concepts and CBL. This includes exploration of metacognition, as it relates to the self-regulation of learning. Also reviewed was CBL, including theory background. Literature reviews were aided by databases: Education Research Complete, Psych Info and ScienceDirect. The second substantive phase was to synthesize the information obtained in the reviews and analysis and create a detailed design presentation for using CBL with trainees. Findings The findings of the analysis and synthesis of information enable the expression of a complete, detailed approach to the application of CBL for practitioner use. A review of practices in CBL augmented with examination of important theories of situated cognition and constructivism assist in building a rationale as to how case-based instruction may improve individual and team/group self-regulation of learning. Practical implications Presented in the paper is a complete model of case-based instruction for practitioner use and refinement. Originality/value Case-based instruction has not been directly linked to the self-regulation of learning. This paper makes a contribution to the literature of CBL as well as to situational cognition.

The Impact

Like other types of assessment subscribing to edumetrics as a reaction against traditional psychometrics paradigm, self-assessment and peer-assessment have enjoyed much popularity among various types of alternative assessment. Additionally, alternative assessments, especially self- and peer-assessments have been the focal point of departure as far as L2 writing has been concerned. Furthermore, self-regulation as a burgeoning area of research in L2 learning refers to the degree to which language learners can regulate aspects of their thinking, motivation and behavior during learning. Given the significance of both assessment and self-regulated learning in ELT, the present paper investigated the effect of the implementation of self-assessment and peer-assessment in a writing course on the self-regulated learning of a sample of Iranian EFL students. In so doing, sixty three English major Iranian students who were the students of three intact classes at Islamic Azad University participated in this study. One of the classes was regarded as the self-assessment group, the other group was assigned to peer-assessment group and the third class served as the control group of the study. The ANCOVA analyses of the self-regulation scale scores for the control and experimental groups revealed that both self-assessment and peer-assessment practices had a positive impact on the self-regulated learning of the participants. The results will have theoretical and pedagogical implications for Iranian English language education.

Definition Of

 Abstract – The theoretical approach to Lifelong Learning used in this paper introduces findings in the field of Self-Regulated Learning (SRL). We are using Nilson’s [4] definition of SRL, which states that self-regulation "encompasses the monitoring and managing of one’s cognitive processes, as well as the awareness of and control over one’s emotions, motivations, behavior, and environment as related to learning." The principles that guide SRL, as proposed by Schunk and Zimmerman [6-8] are: 1) Forethought; 2) Performance/volitional control and; 3) Self-reflection. Following the definition and principles suggested in the SRL literature, activities were designed to develop and strengthen engineering students’ self-regulated learning skills and awareness of such competencies. At McGill University, the Faculty of Engineering is pursuing a systematic assessment method of lifelong learning awareness by the way of activities that target the first- and final-year students.

<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>

Regulated Learning

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.
