Gain practical skills to scaffold students’ development as independent learners using principles from self-regulated learning. This framework is goal-directed, and emphasizes the active role students can take in guiding their learning. Students’ implementation of these skills has been linked to many adaptive and positive academic outcomes. In this workshop, participants will explore practical methods to embed the teaching of self-regulated learning skills into their regular instruction, and learn how to feel more confident in their ability to design instructional materials that can help students take the initiative to plan, direct, and reflect on their own learning processes. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Articulate the value of self-regulated learning processes (i.e., planning, monitoring/control, and reflection) in promoting student success
• Design instructional materials to support students in developing disciplinary-based self-regulated learning skills

Instructors

August Masonheimer, Purdue University
Erin Mercurio, The Ohio State University
