1.2 CONCEPT OF SELF-REGULATION The learning process of a student is multifaceted and includes many processes. One of the processes related to learning activities is Self-regulation. Self regulation takes place when the intended actions and activities are meant to acquire skills or information. It helps the students in management of their thoughts, emotions and behaviours and thus makes the learning experiences far more effective and successful. A number of scholars and educational researchers have defined the concept of self-regulation in different ways. According to Corno and Mandinach (1983) the learning through self-regulation is an effort and practice to use and deepen the associative network in a specific area and to monitor and improve …show more content…
It implies learning through meta-cognitive, motivational, emotional and behavioral control. These different strategies include comprehension monitoring, persistence, diligence and control of impulses etc. Thus it becomes clear that self regulation is vital to the learning process as it helps learners create better learning habits, develop the study skills, use different learning strategies to increase positively academic outcomes, observe their performance and analyze finally their academic development. 1.2.1 ATTRIBUTES OF SELF REGULATED LEARNING The progress of self regulated learning is defined by the extent to which students control and regulate the different aspects of their thinking, motivation and behaviour during learning process. Different attributes of self regulated learning are: 1.2.1.1 Meta-cognitive Self-regulation The central aspect of self-regulated learning is meta-cognition that includes planning, monitoring, and regulating activities (Pintrich et al., 1991). While planning, self-regulated learners set specific learning or performance outcomes and thereafter monitor the effectiveness of learning methods or strategies to attain goals and then he responds accordingly to the results of his monitoring (Zimmerman, …show more content…
A self regulated learner is completely devoted to his/her study goals and doesn’t get deviated from the learning process even if there are some setbacks and distractions. S/he knows to control and direct her/his energy towards the goal (Alderman, 1999). 1.2.1.13 Feedback Internal as well as external feedbacks are very useful tools in the case of self regulated learning. Self regulated students generate internal feedback through self monitoring of their learning efforts and their progress towards goals (Butler and Winne, 1995). They also interpret positively and constructively the external feedback from their teacher and co-learners. They use both types of feedback in order to move progressively towards the goal. This study of various aspects of self regulated learning shows that it is a full time activity requiring total engagement and involvement of various parts of brain. It involves self evaluation, dedicated efforts, self monitoring, dedicated concentration, flexible to constructive changes and full attention (Pintrich, 2000; Zimmerman, 2001, 2002; Zimmerman and Schunk,
Giving the student self-monitoring charts will encourage the student to be more aware of taking responsibility for their future while establishing goals and creating progression charts. It is important for the teacher to reach out to his peers to find solutions to helping his/her student(s) learn in their own way to be more
External factors inevitably contribute to the processes of learning, however, a student’s task is to learn. Despite their
Discipline at the individual’s level is primarily self-discipline, the ability to control one’s own
There was a study done that examined the self-control theory by using the criminal records of 500 adults. There were four indicators that were taken: aliases, social security numbers, dates, and place of birth that were used to create a self-control measure. “Negative binomial regression models indicated that offenders who scored low on the self-control measure accumulated significantly more violent index, property index, white-collar, and nuisance arrests net the effects of control variables. These findings contribute to the empirical support for self-control theory and indicate that self-control is salient using a criminal sample” (Matt Delisi, 2001, College of health and human sciences, georgia state university).
Self-Control is the ability to control your emotions and not let them interfere with the way you provide support and care. Working with J.K. was sometimes difficult and I would often leave his classroom feeling defeated. However, I did not let these feelings show during my time with the students and I tried my best shrug off the bad days by continuing to work towards future
CBIs can be divided into two main categories, self-management based interventions and verbal mediation-based interventions. Self-management based interventions EBD students are directed to observe, record and reinforce their own behaviors. The following are three procedures used in self-management training. The procedures include, self-monitoring, self-evaluation and self-reinforcement (Yell, Meadows, Drasgow & Shriner, 2014).
Self-discipline is one main component I feel is demonstrated through sports and school. I have trained myself to not get overconfident or too low on myself when I make a mistake. When working on homework, I manage my time to complete my work before taking any personal
Further, seeking for feedback, for essential leaning. As revealed by effective learners who welcome their instructors feedback and apply it to stay on track, and they might crash. However, they will heed every suggestion that instructors offer on assignments; they understand the message in their test scores; they request clarification of any feedback they don?t understand; and they ask for additional feedback, (Downing, 2015, pg. 194). Moreover, changing course when needed.
Educational Self-Analysis As students the people who we surround ourselves with have a profound effect with our motivational level. Our surroundings can emotionally impact our life for the better or worse. By reading the article “Brainology” by Carol Dweck has also showed me the mindset I have and reflect on the way I view education. like most Parents, my Parents want to see me succeed in school since they did not have the chance to do so themselves.
The overall goal of the book is to give guidance and understanding of how to help a student regulate themselves in given situations so they can complete a desired task. Often, students with self-regulation issues appear as students that are not trying hard enough to complete a task or defiant toward a task and are trying to get out of a task (McClelland, "Development and Self-Regulation"). However, the students are more likely trying to regulate themselves through actions that are not appropriate to the external situation. I have experienced students with self-regulation issues.
In fact, about one third of the total studies reviewed in two landmark meta-analyses (Bangert-Drowns et al. ,1991; Kluger & DeNisi, 1996) demonstrated negative effects of feedback on learning. For instance, feedback that is construed as critical and controlling (Baron, 1993) often impedes efforts to improve performance (Fedor, Davis, Maslyn, & Mathieson, 2001). Other features of feedback that tend to hamper learning include providing grades or overall scores indicating the students’ standing relative to peers and coupling such normative feedback with low levels of specificity (Kluger & DeNisi, 1998), Additionally, interrupting a student who is actively engaged in problem solving with feedback from an external source has also been shown to inhibit learning (Corno & Snow, 1986). In regards to the various definitions stated in this review, feedback that has negative effects on learning is not quite definite or

initiative for planning their own learning, seeking out the necessary resources, implementing and evaluating their own learning (tenant p10). The research by Tough prompted a multitude of research on the phenomenon. To date self-directed learning is one of the most widely researched area in the field of adult learning ( Owen , T Ross 2002). Categories of SDL Merriam, Caffarella & Baumgartner p107 have classified studies on self-directed learning into three broad categories. Each of these categories captures a major perspective of self-directed learning.
Self-Regulatory Model (SRM) [1-4] is a cognitive-affective model that highlights the existence of the emotional component as well as the cognitive component; both of these components alter the perception of disease threat and influence each other. This model emphasizes the active role of the patient and his / her concrete action towards the change of behavior, which will allow effective interventions. According to the Self-Regulation Model, there is a simultaneity ratio between the cognitive and the emotional processing of the disease threat [4]. The Common Sense Model of Self-Regulation is a complex system that highlights the health and disease self-regulation [5].
158). Additionally, along with the statement that the usage of student self-assessment (having the students analyzing their own learning process) leads to improved achievements in the classroom, it is also suggested that the students’ achievements in school increase with the level of participation (William, 2011). Although there hasn’t yet been fully established exactly how, student self-assessment improves learning (William, 2011). Hence, one might conclude that William argues for a studying environment where learners are activated as observers of their own learning, together with a studying environment where learners are instructed to manage their own learning. As a result, an increase of student self-assessment in school seems to lead to higher achievements by the
