Introduction to Self Regulated Learning by Alexander Mikroyannidis

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, you should be able to:

·       Understand the fundamental aspects of Self Regulated Learning (SRL)

·       Outline a series of SRL examples

·       Organise your own SRL journey

  

     Ø  SRL = Goal > select learning aids > use learning aids > reflect + monitor + evaluate; enables learners learn how to learn; is the self-regulated process where learners transform their mental abilities into academic skills

     Ø  Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) is a facility for an individual to access, aggregate, configure and manipulate digital artefacts of their ongoing learning experiences.

     Ø  The Psycho-Pedagogical Integration Model (PPIM) builds on the concept of the self-regulated learning approach that is based on a cyclic model (Zimmerman, 2002).

Ø  Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) learning journey

In essence Amanda is going to approach her Human Biology course as follows:

1. Setting her goals

2. Looking for appropriate and recommended learning tools

3. Using those learning tools to enhance her skill set

4. Reflecting on the learning process

Ø  The PLE is essentially the enabling technology for SRL, which describes an individual’s ability to learn how to learn. In other words, each of us can develop a wide-ranging skill set that enables us to learn in a number of different ways

Ø  The Psycho-Pedagogical Integration Model

o    Consists of three phases in which certain SRL activities are performed, namely the:

§  forethought phase e.g.  goal setting, planning and similar

§  performance phase e.g. self-observation processes

§  self-reflection phase e.g. self-reflection processes

o   Four phases of this learning process model

§  (1) learner profile information is defined or revised,

§  (2) learners find and select learning resources

§  (3) learners work on/with selected learning resources

§  (4) learners reflect and react on strategies, achievements and usefulness of the selected learning resources/approaches

o   Five key aspects of PPIM:

§  guidance and freedom

§  motivation

§  meta-cognition and awareness

§  collaboration and good practice sharing

§  personalisation

Step 1: Visit the SlideWiki website and create an account.

Step 2: Go to this slide deck, which outlines the different phases of the SRL journey. In order to customise this slide deck, create your own copy by clicking on the fork buttonon the left sidebar of the slide deck.

Step 3: Go through each phase of the SLR journey as outlined in each slide of the deck in order to set your learning goals, find learning tools, use these tools and reflect on the whole process. 

Step 4: If you wish, you may share your SRL journey with others, by clicking on the share buttonon the bottom of your slide deck. By doing so, you will give others the opportunity to provide you feedback via the comments section of your slide deck.

Step 5: You may also assign collaborators to your SRL journey, by editing your slide deck and assigning editing rights to others. This will allow others to contribute to your slide deck, thus making your SRL journey collaborative.
