43.013 - Scaffolding Self-Regulated Learning Across Different Contexts

Sun, April 7, 8:00 to 9:30am, Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel, Floor: Mezzanine Level, Willow Centre

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

In educational research a variety of scaffolding approaches have been developed in order to support students’ cognitive and metacognitive processes during self-regulated learning (SRL). Such techniques include different kinds of scaffolds that support learners by providing them structure or support during their learning process and progress. The theme here is to present empirically-based evidence as to how different scaffolding approaches can be applied within SRL and to analyze possible constraints, predictors and effectiveness. Within this symposium a review and analysis of different methods and techniques used to scaffold the complex nature of SRL will be examined. Finally, implications about how these methods can be used to assess, model, and foster students’ self-regulation to enhance learning and performance will be discussed.
