  1. Promoting Self-Regulated Learning in Content Courses Charlotte Skinner, Robin Lightner, Gene Kramer, & Jenni Marshall

  2. Pillars of Transfer Content Context Learner Alexander & Murphy, 1999

  3. Self-Regulated Learning

  4. Self-Regulated Learning Important Learner Characteristic Includes Metacognition Is the skill Learned versus Developed Involving students and supporting their own self-regulation

  5. Self-Regulated Learning Identify Problem Examine past experiences Brainstorm solutions Set short and long-term goals Monitor Adjust Evaluate Hudesman et al., 2006; Zimmerman, 2006

  6. How is SRL useful?Faculty Problem Solving A framework for classroom problem solving for SoTL

  7. Improving Student SRL 2.Present the model explicitly Go through a nonacademic example Go through an academic example Talk about your own changes to the course Help students brainstorm Provide structure for monitoring

  8. Improving SRL

  9. Improving SRL 3. Activity: Describe a task that was at first very difficult, but then you were able to master. Point out effort and strategy choice Allows students to relate to classmates with expertise.

  10. Improving SRL 4. Syllabus ratings Exam 1 Points possible: 100 Points predicted: Points earned: Do differently next time: Reaction Paper 1 Points possible: 50 Points predicted: Points earned: Do differently next time:

  11. Improving SRL 5. Monitoring practice Self-rating on each assignment or on course goals. Reflection afterwards in journal or syllabus. 6. Assignment revisions Test revisions for partial credit emphasize mastery over performance motives. For MC, ask students to provide the question’s concept, a definition, and a new example.

  12. Improving SRL 7. Readiness ratings: Physical 1-10 Emotional 1-10 Cognitive 1- 10 8. Courses in a sequence—PRETEST or attitude survey/questionnaire

  13. Improving SRL 9. Reflective writings Process focused Letters to future students in the course 10. Muddiest point (lecture break)

  14. Improving SRL 11. Concept Maps

  15. Improving SRL 12. Dealing with new vocabulary Similar to: Book definition: Dissimilar to: Personalmeaning:

  16. Improving SRL 13. Mnemonics practice --acrostics --rhymes --songs --images
