Self-Regulated Learning
Students are self-regulated when
they are, “metacognatively,
motivationally, and behaviorally
active participants in their own
learning process.”
(Zimmerman 1989, p. 329)
Self-Regulated Learning
• Multi-faceted construct
– Motivation
– Self-efficacy
– Competence
• Self-regulation of achievement
(Boekaerts 1997; Corno, 2001; Flavell, 1979; Schunk & Zimmerman, 1998; Winne, 1995;
Zimmerman, 1989, 1990, 2000)

Planning and Self-Monitoring
• What skills do I need to achieve this?
• What help or assistance do I need?
• What resources do I need?
• What can block progress?
• Am I on task or am I being distracted?

● Did I accomplish what I planned to do?
● Was I distracted and how did I get back to
work?
● Did I plan enough time or did it take
longer than I thought?
● In which situation did I accomplish the
most work?

It is impossible to live
without failing at something,
unless you live so cautiously
that you might as well
not have lived at all.
In which case,
you fail by default.

Dream BIG and dare to FAIL.
Don’t settle for mediocrity.
You don’t want to be left wondering
if you could have done more...
The greater danger for most
of us lies not in setting our
aim too high and falling short;
but in setting our aim too low,
and achieving our mark.
