The document discusses self-regulated learning. It defines self-regulated learning as students being metacognitively, motivationally, and behaviorally active in their own learning. Research shows that when the learning environment provides choice, complex tasks, opportunities for help-seeking and goal-setting, and explicit strategy instruction, students engage in self-regulated behaviors. Self-regulated learners set goals, use learning strategies, self-monitor, and adapt their efforts compared to low-achieving students. Certain factors like personal effort, motivation, and age can also influence self-regulated learning.
