Agenda

Part I: Introduction to SRL


SRL Video

• Video to give basic idea and motivation of SRL


SRL Questionnaire

• questionnnaire to determine SRL skills and profile
• ap. 30 questions (ap. 7 min)
• code: use a personal code, e.g.


SRL Questionnaire

• Result is a SRL Profile with SRL skills
– make a screenshot of the result and save it!

GS: Goal Setting TM: Time Management
ES: Environment Structuring HS: Help Seeking
TS: Task Strategies SE: Self-Evaluation


Very Brief Introduction to SRL

• SRL : taking control over the own learning process;
performance of additional tasks to organise the own learning
process
• Organisational aspect: shift in the educational system - SRL
becomes more popular
• Meta-cognitive aspect: Learning does not only happen on
the cognitive level, but also on the meta-cogntive level
– goal setting, reflection, self-evaluation, self-monitoring, etc.
• Motivational aspect: SRL stimulates intrinsic motivation, but
motivation is also required for SRL
• Learning aspect: SRL deepens the understanding


Models of SRL

• Zimmerman: cyclic model

Models of SRL

• Boekaerts: Layered Model

Boekaerts, M. (1999). Self-regulated learning: where we are today. International Journal
of Educational Research, 31(6), 445-457. Elsevier Science Ltd


Psycho-Pedagogical Model on SRL
• navigating through the learning process with ROLE
• getting support for self-regulated learning
goal setting, time
management, organising, ...

planning

reflecting searching

evaluation and searching for resources
self-evaluation (documents, widgets, ...)

learning

reading, viewing, training, practicing,
collaborating, note taking, ... recommen-
be aware of monitoring dations

learner should understand and ROLE infrastructure should
control own learning process provide adaptive guidance

SRL and Technology

• Use of tools and technology for SRL activities
– Widget-based approach: Use a widget to perform an SRL activity
• Widget Store:
– collection of widgets
– assignment of learning taxonomy elements to widgets
– API to search for widgets according to taxonomy


Examples from the Widget Store

• Goal setting

To-Learn list: http://www.role-widgetstore.eu/tool/learn-list
My goals: http://www.role-widgetstore.eu/tool/my-goals



• Time management

• Resource Management

• Reflection

Distribution of your data per day:

Example 1: Share your experience

• Example with two widgets for several SRL activities
– goal Setting
– self-evaluation
– reflection support
– structuring the learning domain

• Please try it out!

ROLE Technical Framework

Ingter Widget
CAM Data Widget Store
Communication

User Model Taxonomy / Ontology Recommendations of
(Goals and Competences) of Learning Activities Documents, Widgets, Activities


Agenda

Part II: Designing Widget(s)


Group Work

• Design one or more widgets that support SRL
– choose a learning objective
– take into account the result of the SRL questionnaire
– take into account ROLE technology
• Work in groups
– ap. 3 persons per group
– technical and non-technical persons if possible
• Make presentation
– use template
• Submit the idea to the Widget Competion (afterwards)


Example 2: Advanced Text Reading


Example 2: Advanced Text Reading

• Concept
– Text reader with predefined texts
– Tagging of paragraphs
– assigning tags to predefined domain concepts
– assigning expert level to concepts
– getting additional learning material
– getting feedback on leanring activities
• SRL activities
– self-evaluation
– help seeking
– self-reflection
– ... others?
• ROLE technology
– IWC, CAM data, user model (competences), widget space


Group Result Presentation

The presentation should include:
Contents
• Selected learning objective
• SRL skill addressed
• Design of widgets (sketches, diagrams, paintings, etc.)
• Explanation how learning objective and SRL skill are
addressed, ROLE technolgy
• General remarks
– what ahre the opportunities and advantages for learning
– what are the problems and barriers
– ...

=> Presentation template is on the website


Agenda

Part III: Results and Discussion


Discussion

• What are the experiences with designing support strategies?
• What are the conditions and requirements for doing SRL
(with a PLE)
• What are the advantages and opportunities?
• What are the problems and barriers?
• ...


Agenda

Finally


ROLE Widget Competition

• Submit your design to the ROLE Widget Competion
– the three best designs are selected to implement the widget
– implemented widgets win iPads (or similar gadgets)
– deadline for design: August 3, 2012


Competition on usage of ROLE Bundles

• Competition on student's use of ROLE bundles
– Who uses it the most in a given timeframe wins a 100EUR Amazon
gift certificate
– ... more information will follow
