Teachers Talking - Self-Regulated Learning in the Classroom

Join colleagues on Friday, February 23 for Teachers Talking in the St. Peter Room, session from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Topic: Self-Regulated Learning in the Classroom. Self-regulated learning (SRL) involves the regulation and monitoring of cognition, behavior, and motivation. Research from the SRL field offers important implications for teachers: (1) SRL is a significant predictor of classroom performance; (2) SRL is a skill that can be developed through targeted instruction; and (3) many students (including undergraduates) do not effectively self-regulate their learning in the absence of targeted instruction. Dan Moos (Education Department, Co-Faculty Associate for Teaching Excellence) will facilitate a discussion on how teachers can support SRL in their classroom. Dan will draw from his 20 years of SRL research and experiences teaching different age groups. Participants can expect to learn how to support SRL through pedagogical choices and assignment design. Free lunch at the buffet/Marketplace.
