What is Self-Regulated Learning?
According to Barry Zimmerman (1989) there are three aspects of academic learning:
First, there is self-regulation of behavior. This involves the active control of both resources and people. Time management, study environment, and requesting the assistance of others. (Garcia & Pintrich, 1994).
Second, there is self-regulation of motivation and affect. This involves changing motivational beliefs and goal setting. It also involves controlling one's emotions to handle the demands and stress in order to improve their learning.
Third, self-regulation involves the control of various cognitive strategies for learning. This involves the use of deep processing strategies that result in better learning and performance (Garcia & Pintrich, 1994).
Self-regulation can be taught, learned, and controlled.
Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) model is a metacognitive tool to give students a variety of consciously controlled strategies that they can use when confronted with a problem.
