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

• Scott G. Paris and Alison H. Paris, Educational
  Psychologist, 2001

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.

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
