Abstract

This paper addresses students’ regulation of learning, a field that initially treated students as individuals who independently regulate their learning but now acknowledges students’ interactive regulation with and by others. This shift from independence to interaction, however, has been at the cost of clarity about how learning is regulated, who regulates it, and where regulation takes place. In this narrative literature review, we clarify the term co-regulated learning by being explicit about theoretical frameworks, and also reconsider key features. The outcome of this review is a proposal for definitions and frameworks that can serve as a foundation for future scholarship, research, and practice.
