Studying and Self-Regulated Learning SIG Business Meeting: Context-Specific Regulation of Learning and Motivation

Session Submission Type: Business Meeting

Abstract

Dr. Mimi Bong will be a guest speaker at the meeting. She will make a presentation titled, "Context-Specific Regulation of Learning and Motivation." Dr. Bong will argue that, whereas self-regulated learning processes could be viewed as domain-general, they are nonetheless context-specific. In addition, she will make a distinction between domain-specificity and context-specificity and the resulting implications for theory development and assessment of key constructs. Relevant research on self-efficacy, self-concept, achievement goals, task value, and SRL strategy use will be briefly introduced. An example will be presented that shows how even domain-general processes linking personality (e.g., perfectionism) to SRL behaviors (e.g., procrastination) could be mediated by specific co ntexts (e.g., perceptions of classroom goal structures)
