Abstract

The purpose of this AERA Memorial Session is to recognize and honor the
legacy of Dr. Barry J. Zimmerman, a prominent scholar in the fields of learning and
instruction, self-regulated learning, and motivation. We will honor the work of Dr. Barry
Zimmerman, who was an influential participant in AERA’s Division C, Motivation SIG,
and Studying and Self-Regulated Learning SIG. Given his impact across these units,
this session will be co-sponsored by all three units.
Not only was Dr. Zimmerman a leading scholar, proposing one of the most widely used
theories of self-regulated learning, he will also be remembered for his mentoring of
students and faculty. As such, our planned session will include graduate students who
will present their work in a structured roundtable session with experts in the fields of
self-regulated learning and motivation as table leaders/facilitators. Facilitators are all
past recipients of the Barry J. Zimmerman Award for Outstanding Contributions,
awarded by the Studying and Self-Regulated Learning SIG each year since 2015. After
the roundtable presentations and discussions conclude, we will have a larger group
discussion with the experts as our panelists to lead the discussion, facilitated by the
session co-chairs. Additional details about the session can be found below.
