Tue, April 17, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Millennium Broadway New York Times Square, Floor: Seventh Floor, Room 7.01

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

In educational research a variety of scaffolding approaches have been developed in order to support student’s cognitive and metacognitive processes when learning in interactive settings. Such techniques vary between using computers as a mere tool up to computer-based learning environments with integrated scaffolds. The genuine theme of this symposium is to gather different approaches of learning scaffolds and to analyze their constraints, predictors and effectiveness. Within this symposium a review and analysis of different methods and techniques used to scaffold the complex nature of self-regulated learning will be examined. Finally, implications about how this can be used to assess, model, and foster students’ self-regulation to enhance learning and performance will be discussed.
