• Pintrich
• Zimmerman
• 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
