The document summarizes the key activities and outcomes of a project test conducted by students. It discusses the subjects covered - AWT, economics, social studies, and technology. For each subject, it lists the activities students engaged in to create a mock company called Kiosk Sunhut Corp, such as designing job advertisements, CVs and application letters, market analysis, and producing food items. It also describes the students' practice presentation about the requirements for getting a job, including personal qualities and skills. Finally, it provides guidance on writing CVs and application letters effectively.
Students take 4 ICT classes and 1 programming class per week, totaling 7 classes. The school has 3 computer labs with 30 desktop computers each, as well as a physics lab equipped with laptops, a video projector, and an interactive whiteboard. The interactive whiteboard allows for greater student participation and makes classes more dynamic. The school also uses an eLearning platform called AeL that provides online courses, simulations, and assessments to increase student motivation. While the labs help direct learning towards practical applications, some are outdated and insufficient for the number of teachers wanting to use them. There is also a risk that teachers and students may over-rely on technology without integrating it properly into the curriculum.
The document discusses different teaching philosophies including teacher-centered, learner-centered, and ICT-centered philosophies. It outlines the skills and tools needed for effective technology integration in education, including computers, the internet, and digital techniques. The document argues that technology can enhance learning by allowing students more flexibility and control over what, when, where, and how they learn.

This document outlines different methods that can be used to measure self-regulated learning. It discusses measuring SRL as both an aptitude and an event, and some of the challenges in measurement. Some key methods mentioned include self-report questionnaires, observations of student behavior, think-aloud protocols, learning diaries, interviews, and analyzing digital traces of student interactions in online learning environments. The document advocates for using mixed methods to address limitations of individual approaches and gain a more comprehensive understanding of students' self-regulated learning.
The document discusses self-regulated learning from a metacognitive perspective. It begins by introducing the presenter as a post-doc researcher studying self-regulated learning and socially shared regulation of learning. It then provides an overview of the key aspects of self-regulated learning, including: (1) task understanding, (2) goal setting and planning, (3) enacting strategies like monitoring and controlling, and (4) evaluating. The document emphasizes that self-regulated learning is an active, cyclical process whereby learners personalize their efforts to optimize cognitive, motivational and behavioral processes in pursuit of learning goals.
Self-regulated learning involves students actively monitoring and controlling their cognition, motivation, behavior, and environment in pursuit of goals. It is influenced by personal characteristics as well as social and environmental factors. Effective self-regulated learners are aware of their own strengths and weaknesses, can employ various learning strategies, and are motivated to learn. Regulation may occur individually through self-reflection, or socially through collaboration with others. Developing strong self-regulated learning skills is important for students' well-being, academic success, and ability to adapt to changing demands.
