Key Theorists
This theorist developed the Social Learning/Cognitive Theory and the Self-Efficacy Theory.
Albert Bandura
An individual's ability to regulate and control their own behavior, thoughts, and emotions.
Self-monitoring, self-evaluation, and self-reaction
Bandura’s Three Self-Regulation Processes
Procrastinating on assignments.
Becoming easily distracted.
Starting tasks without a plan.
Rushing through work without checking it.
Signs of poor self-regulation
The Pioneer of Self-Regulated Learning Theory.
Barry Zimmerman
This theorist was primarily responsible for developing the self-regulation theory.
Albert Bandura
The number of phases in Zimmerman's model of self-regulation in learning.
Three
Self-Regulated students can (list four):
Plan before starting a task.
Stay focused during learning.
Monitor their own progress.
Manage distractions.
Reflect on what worked.
Adjust strategies for next time
Bandura focused on how people monitor, judge, and respond to their own (BLANK).
Behavior
Self-Regulation involves being able to (at least 3 explanations):
Recognize what you are doing.
Compare your actions to a goal or standard.
Adjust your behavior when needed.
Stay motivated through challenges.
Students monitor focus, effort, behavior, and progress during learning.
Performance / Monitoring
Show students how to plan, stay focused, and reflect.
Teacher modeling
Barry Zimmerman is known for developing what?
A cyclical, three-phase model of self-regulation OR the Three Phases of Self-Regulated Learning
What is the connection between Self-Regulation and Self-Efficacy
It connects to self-regulation because students are more likely to regulate themselves when they believe their effort and strategies can lead to improvement.
The opposite of ignoring your performance, giving up, refusing to adjust, and continuing to use the same ineffective strategy.
Self-Reaction
The 4 classroom strategies that were discussed in the presentation.
Self-monitoring, small successes, peer modeling, and teacher modeling
What is Bandura's belief?
Human behavior is learned socially through observation, imitation, and modeling, rather than solely through direct reinforcement or punishment
Why is self-regulation important when a task becomes difficult?
It helps a person stay motivated, adjust, and keep working through challenges.
Give a classroom example that shows all three of Bandura’s processes.
Example: A student notices they are distracted, checks their progress against the assignment goal, and decides to refocus or use a new strategy.
Why should teachers teach self-regulation instead of only correcting poor behavior?
Because self-regulation helps students develop the skills to manage their own learning, emotions, focus, and behavior instead of always relying on the teacher.
