Abstract

Students experience barriers to self-regulated learning that encompass lack of effective strategy knowledge, improper execution, and insufficient motivation. To empower students to study effectively, in a self-regulated manner, we need to train effective strategy use—by inculcating knowledge of effective strategies and by guiding their behavioral use of such strategies. In addition to strategy knowledge training, we also need to support students’ inclinations, and eventually chronic, habitual tendencies, toward seeking and using better learning strategies for themselves. Our symposium presents intervention research that integrates theories on learning strategies, metacognition, and motivation, and tests their efficacy on actual achievement in real-world classrooms. We answer calls for addressing diversity, heterogeneity, process, and to integrate motivation more with classic learning strategy training.
