Presentation on self-regulated learning and expert learner's use of time during a problem-solving event.
Guided questions for instructors to activate self-regulated learning are included. on slide 29.
Elaboration on topic via speaker notes with download. Extension activity presented on slide 33 to facilitate learning transfer of SRL theory to practice.
4. Before we begin… what are the key vocabulary words I need to know?
5. Vocabulary Self-regulated learning - an active, constructive process whereby learners set learning goals, monitor, regulate, and control their cognitive and metacognitive processes in the service of those goals(Azevedo, 2010). Metacognition- the individuals’ awareness of their own knowledge, learning preferences, styles, strengths, and limitations, as well as their awareness of how to use this knowledge (Magno, 2010). Problem-Solving– a mental process which is part of alarger problem process that includes problem finding and problem shaping(Wikipedia). Motivation - an internal state that arouses us to action (Ormrod, 2008). Self-efficacy - a person’s belief in his or her ability to succeed in a particular situation (Dweck, 2007).
6. As an educator, mentor and parent, what will I learn from this video?
7. Learning Objectives In this presentation you will : Examine the concept of self-regulated learningand relate it to student learning and performance. Connect self-regulated learning to metacognition. Applyknowledge to test hypothesis. Reflect on ways you can enhance motivation and self-efficacy.
8. Hmmm… how does self-regulated learning fit into the “big picture” of problem solving?
9. Simple Strategies Problem solving Critical Thinking Knowledge of Cognition Regulation of Cognition Self-Efficacy Epistemology Schraw, G., Crippen, K. J., & Hartley, K. D. (2006)
10. Ok… now I understand how self-regulated learning isconnected to problem-solvingability…
11. …but exactly… …how will teaching self-regulated learning improve the way my students solve problems?
12.
13. Now that is expert thinking and great teaching advice… I have a question…
14. How do expert learners differ from novice learners when it comes to problem-solving?
15. How does research explain the differences in novice and expert problem solving performance?
19. How can I teach self-regulated learning skills?
20. Planning for Self-Regulated Learning Problem solving begins with the task definition stage. First a student generates her own perception about what the task is, and what constraints and resources are in available. Next, the student generatesgoals and constructs a plan for addressing the task. In the enactment stage, the previously created plan is carried out. During the adaptation stage, metacognitive processes are used to adapt learning both within the task and more globally. Winne and Hardwin(1998) cited in Greene and Azevedo, (2007)
21. Do you know some instructionalstrategies that work?
22. Strategies for Teachers Model expert planning strategies while teaching subject matter Connect previous knowledge to current learning concepts Activate metacognitive thinking through guided inquiry Synthesize knowledge by having students reflect on their learning process Transferknowledge by planning problem solving sets with like solution processes J. Ormrod 2008
36. Applying what I learned… Watch as Carol Dweckdiscusses ‘growth' versus 'fixed' minds. How does Dweck’s theory of Mindset combine with a student’s application of self-regulated learning strategies to influence their learning? Identify one area in your practice where increased knowledge of self-regulated learning, self-efficacy and metacognition will enhance instruction. Explain by giving an example. Identify how important knowledge of SRL is to teaching and give at least two reasons that justify your perception. URL for Youtube: http://youtu.be/MTsF2TaEaJA

Editor's Notes
Metacognition is a complex cognitive process that requires knowledge and control over one’s own mental processes.It is oftenreferred to as “thinking about thinking”. John Flavell of Stanford University is regarded as a foundation researcher in metacognition. Flavell recognized that metacognition consisted of both monitoring and regulation aspects.While everyone thinks, not everyone thinks consciously about his or her own thinking processes.
A metacognitive approach to instruction can help students learn to take control of their own learning by helping them define their learning goalsand monitor their progress in achieving them.Metacognition may be activated consciously or unconsciously by the individual. It’s this element of consciousness that Flavell found was a hallmark of good problem-solvers.In this podcast we will examine one aspect of metacognitive learning: the behaviors of novice and expert learners when they first confront a problem-solving situation.
Through modeling and coaching teachers can teach students how to use a range of learning strategies, including the ability to predict outcomes and stimulate background knowledge.Research shows that metacognitive skills and self-regulatory processes are teachable and can lead to increases in student motivation and achievement.
In this podcast we have learned:Ways expert learners use a well developed set of metacognitive skills to effectively monitor their own thinking as they analyze a problem. In contrast we note that novice learners don’t apply metacognitive thinking nearly as often when initially engaged in solving a problem. In conclusion:Introducing students to metacognitive skills and giving students practice at applying them - improves students‘ learning ability.
