Session Type: Symposium
Self-regulated learning (SRL) is essential for student success in STEM, yet many interventions focus narrowly on strategies and overlook the motivational and broader psychological barriers that often prevent students from applying them. This session addresses that gap by presenting four innovative interventions designed to reduce obstacles and support more effective SRL. These approaches are diverse—ranging from brief messaging to course-level changes—and span various stages of development, from initial evaluation to implementation at scale. Together, the papers highlight promising, scalable ways to promote SRL by targeting psychological barriers. The session offers both theoretical and practical insights to inform future research and practice, illuminating how attention to motivation can strengthen intervention design and enhance student learning in challenging academic contexts.
