Lessons Learned and Future Directions of MetaTutor: Leveraging Multichannel Data to Scaffold Self-Regulated Learning With an Intelligent Tutoring System

Frontiers in Psychology, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 13

Published: June 14, 2022

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is critical for across tasks, domains, and contexts. Despite its importance, research shows that not all learners are equally skilled at accurately dynamically monitoring regulating their self-regulatory processes. Therefore, technologies, such as intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs), have been designed to measure foster SRL. This paper presents an overview of over 10 years on SRL with MetaTutor, a hypermedia-based ITS scaffold college students’ while they learn about the human circulatory system.

While instructional school leadership remains a focus of scholarly inquiry due to persuasive evidence regarding its contribution improvement, most the existing literature on influence improvement and student learning has been based predominantly more developed Western context. To establish comprehensive international knowledge repository across diverse social cultural contexts, present study aims explore teachers’ professional practices as well achievement measured by standardized testing in United Arab Emirates. We conducted multilevel structural equation modeling using Program for International Student Assessment 2022 dataset that includes 8715 teachers 21,176 students from 724 schools. found is indirectly related math achievement, mediated two dominant types teacher development (traditional reform-based) teaching strategies activate cognitively. This paper adds growing educational investigating previously underexplored context within Gulf region.

A conceptual framework and a professional development model for supporting teachers’ “triple SRL–SRT processes” and promoting students’ academic outcomes

Educational Psychologist, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 56(4), P. 298 - 311

Published: Oct. 2, 2021

To address teachers' difficulties in implementing effective self-regulated learning (SRL) for their professional knowledge and practice as well students' learning, a conceptual framework practical model development is proposed that can help bridge theory, practice, research on SRL. Expanding prior dual frameworks differentiate own SRL from teaching (SRT), the "triple SRL–SRT processes" also distinguishes teacher-focused student-focused aspects of SRT. Specifically, three types self-regulation are proposed: (1) teachers self-regulate learners (SRL); (2) (teacher-focused SRT); (3) activate (student-focused SRT). support using this framework, spiral development, supported by preliminary showing positive effects achievement, proposed.

On the promise of personalized learning for educational equity

Abstract Students enter school with a vast range of individual differences, resulting from the complex interplay between genetic dispositions and unequal environmental conditions. Schools thus face challenge organizing instruction providing equal opportunities for students diverse needs. have traditionally managed student heterogeneity by sorting both within schools according to their academic ability. However, empirical evidence suggests that such tracking approaches increase inequalities. In more recent years, driven largely technological advances, there been calls embrace students’ differences in classroom personalize learning experiences. A central justification personalized is its potential improve educational equity. this paper, we discuss whether under which conditions can indeed equity K-12 education bringing together theoretical insights different fields, including sciences, philosophy, psychology, sociology. We distinguish conceptions argue unlikely result “equality outcomes” and, definition, does not provide inputs”. if implemented high-quality way, line “adequacy” notions equity, aim equip all basic competencies participate society as active members live meaningful lives.

Abstract Desirable difficulties are learning conditions that often experienced as effortful, but have a positive effect on results and transfer of knowledge skills (Bjork & Bjork, 2011; 1994). Learners do not appreciate the beneficial effects desirable difficulties, negative experiences high effort perceived low make them resistant to engage in (Biwer et al., 2020a). This ultimately limits outcomes academic achievement. With increasing emphasis self-regulation education, characterized by higher learner agency abundant choices what, when, how study, field educational psychology is need theoretical empirically testable assumptions improve desirably difficult with aim foster abilities, outcomes, Here, we present framework describes support when engaging difficulties: “Start Stick Difficulties (S2D2)” framework.

Published: July 27, 2023

Self-regulated learning has been deemed an essential skill that must be explicitly learned and repeatedly practiced for young students. The need research on teacher-led self-regulated interventions embedded in regular classroom instructions escalated steadily. We aimed to investigate interventions' effectiveness led by teachers applicable three primary subjects (i.e., writing, mathematics, reading) based Zimmerman's cyclical model of learning. 214 Korean upper elementary school students participated a series intervention studies (nStudy1 = 70, nStudy2 69, nStudy3 75). Trained homeroom implemented the interventions—incorporating explicit about domain-specific strategies writing (Study 1), mathematics 2), reading 3)—in classrooms. Participants were assigned one groups: instruction (REG), strategy (STR), within framework eight-phase (STR + SRL). Synthesized results revealed STR SRL group used more strategies, performed better achievement tests, was less distracted task-irrelevant thoughts than REG groups. Our are compatible with multiple can guide prompt self-regulatory processes Current findings also reiterate importance teachers' role research-based increase ecological validity applicability. shed light potential mechanism underlies relationship between enhanced motivational cognitive outcomes.
