Support learners in monitoring and regulating their own learning using effective strategies¶

Strategy · All strategies
Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

The review closes by drawing practical implications for situations in which learners must manage their own study. It states that the research discussed "has important implications for the increasingly common situations in which learners must effectively monitor and regulate their own learning". The strategy is to design instruction and supports that steer learners toward spacing and retrieval practice while correcting the false beliefs and metacognitive illusions that drive underuse.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Instructional designs must address learners' subjective mental models of learning, not just provide the strategies

Constraints¶

• The review frames this as an implication for increasingly common self-regulated learning situations rather than a tested intervention in the available text

Target Learners¶

• self-regulating learners across the lifespan

Target Learning Goals¶

• durable retention and transfer through spacing and retrieval practice

Affordances¶

• Learner Metacognition Monitoring Regulation

Related Strategies¶

• Teach Self-Regulation Skills
• Scaffolding Self-Regulation
