Classroom Applications of Research on Self-Regulated Learning (SRL)

1. Classroom Applications of Research on Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) • Scott G. Paris and Alison H. Paris, Educational Psychologist, 2001

2. Two ideas that I might use in the classroom • Teachers can teach students how to become self-regulated learners • Self-regulated learners become motivated and independent learners

3. Description of the ideas • 1. SRL results in students who become responsible for their own learning. Students can be taught specific strategies to become self-motivated. • 2. Self regulated learners become motivated and independent because they have learned how to monitor their progress

4. When and how I might use it in the classroom 1.In teaching students how to write A. High school science students are must learn how to write well. As they prepare their reports, presentations and portfolios I will use the procedures described in the article to help them become better writers. B. All test will include a writing section 2. Students can use portfolios for self-assessment Portfolios will help students monitor their own progress.

5. Procedures that will help me apply the idea 1. Teaching students how to write-explain writing rules-model use of writing-daily writing by students on topics that they chose-peer review -feedback 2. Self-assessment -ask them what was the difficult part of their work-ask students to explain their work-ask them to do a self-review-ask how they fell about the feedback that they received from their teacher
