Where We Are and Where We Might Go – Part 3
Era 3 – Operation
The desire of investigators to explore self-regulated learning in greater depth led to the third era of operation, which began in the 1990s and continues today. Investigators explore the operation of self-regulated learning processes in depth as learners employ them and relate moment-to-moment changes in self-regulated learning to changes in outcome measures. The general research model posits a reciprocal relation between self-regulated learning and achievement outcomes (Self-Regulated Learning ↔ Achievement Outcomes). Learners use self-regulated learning processes, monitor their levels of understanding and learning, and adapt processes as necessary to promote learning or accommodate to changing conditions. This research model captures both the dynamic and cyclical natures of self-regulated learning.
