Task Interpretation
Concept Definition
Task interpretation sets learning in motion and establishes directions for learning. As such,
students’ adopting the habit of interpreting tasks is foundational to their successful
performance. Further, our model suggests that task interpretation is a joint function of
students’ metacognitive knowledge about tasks, their conceptions about the nature of
academic work, and how well students actively and strategically focus attention on deciphering
task demands. (Butler & Cartier, 2004)

Task Interpretation
ICE-note
We begin by clarifying the relationships between metacognitive knowledge, conceptions about
tasks, and task interpretation. Then we elaborate on how task interpretation is one important
work habit that is a key part of self-regulation in action. We close this section by highlighting
how motivational beliefs interact with task interpretation to shape the quality of students’ task
engagement. (Butler & Cartier, 2004)
• Examples are very shallow
• Topics of ‘task’ are very generic.
• Technical knowledge about certain subject/course is missing.
• Application of theory is missing from practice

Structuring Instruction
Concept Definition
Butler, D. L. and Cartier, S. C. (2004) recommend teachers to “provide instruction explicitly
focused on promoting metacognitive knowledge, productive task conceptions, and students’
development of effective strategies for completing academic work.

Learning Strategies
Concept Definition
Learning strategies are a bit difficult to define since the nomenclatures used in cognitive
educational psychology as well as in strategic and self regulated learning have not yet been
standardized across and within these fields of study. (Weinstein et al, 2011)
Jasmina Hasanbegovic explains that “ learning strategies refer to Students' self-generated
thoughts, feelings, and actions, which are systematically oriented toward attainment of their
goals”.

Learning Strategies
ICE-note
• Lack of Standard Definition
• Interaction with everything else except subject (Material)
• Involvement of thoughts and feelings

Rehearsal Strategies
Concept Definition
Rehearsal strategies use repetitive exposure to what the student is trying to learn. Examples of
rehearsal strategies include repeating a definition over and over, using flash cards, listening
over and over to tape recordings or podcasts of lectures, and highlighting material in a text.
(Weinstein et al, 2011).

Metacognition vs. SR vs, SRL
Concept Differences
Differences between metacognition, SR, and SRL may lie in what is being monitored or
controlled. In self-regulation and self-regulated learning, monitoring or control may refer to
behavior, cognition, or motivation, while metacognition likely emphasizes monitoring and
control of cognition, specifically. (Dinsmore et al 2008)

Prompting & Cueing
Concept Differences
Dinsmore (2008) explains that the co-emergence of SRL and computer-based learning
environments (CBLEs), such as hypermedia, has introduced an added layer of complexity in
many of these studies. He then, refers to this layer of complexity in CBLEs as it involves some
type of prompting or cueing, which is often referred to in the literature as scaffolding.

Reflection
1. Recall your SOLO phase planning. How well did you succeed? Why?
2. Describe one challenge that you had during your task performance.
3. How you managed with the challenge you faced? What would you do differently next
time?
