• In Event: Self-Regulated Learning Skills, Strategies, Behaviors, and Learning

Abstract

Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) is a criterion-based teaching approach incorporating explicit instruction of writing strategies, knowledge or skills, and self-regulation procedures into writing. This study aims to estimate the average effect of SRSD on English writing and to examine if the effect was moderated by outcome, methodological, learner, and publication features. A total of 43 effect sizes were extracted from 22 primary studies that were published or written in the past decade. Results suggested SRSD had a positively large effect on writing outcomes. Outcome and publication type was found to moderate effect sizes. The current meta-analysis informs practitioners and classroom teachers of the effect of SRSD on English writing and factors related to the effectiveness of SRSD interventions.
