Unpacking Self-Regulated Learning: Cognitive, Motivational, and Methodological Insights Across Developmental and Disciplinary Contexts

Sat, April 11, 7:45 to 9:15am PDT (7:45 to 9:15am PDT), Westin Bonaventure, Floor: Level 3, Avalon

Session Type: Paper Session

Abstract

This session explores self-regulated learning (SRL) through diverse methodological lenses and developmental stages, from preschool to postsecondary education. Papers examine how SRL manifests in writing via keystroke logging and goal orientation, how metacognitive prompts in middle school math support strategy use, and how domain-specific versus general strategies predict outcomes in active learning biology courses. Additional contributions include a longitudinal, multidimensional analysis of cognitive load, affect, and motivation, and a Bayesian latent class analysis revealing distinct self-regulatory profiles in preschoolers. Together, these studies offer novel insights into the cognitive and motivational mechanisms of SRL and highlight the importance of tailoring supports to learners’ developmental and disciplinary contexts.
