Helping Students become Self-Regulated Learners

• students are not intrinsically good at knowing learning tactics and skills. students need to be systematically taught.

• tactics should be taught as part of a broad learning strategy, not in isolation

epistemic beliefs: beliefs about knowledge. ex: how does the knowledge come?

Helping Students become Self-Regulated Learners

• remind students to formulate new strategies whenever the task situation changes (ex: type of info, teaching method, exams, and motivation level)

• give students feedback about the nature of the strategies they create

• tell students that they are capable of becoming self-regulated learners

• give students all the task info they need to become strategic learners
