Applying Self-Regulated Learning
Overview
Self-regulated learning—one’s ability to understand and control one’s learning environment—plays a strong role in how much the learner can gain from the learning experience. Determine how you can apply self-regulated learning to a topic you working on.
Requirements
Based on your course readings, other information learned in this course, and at least two outside references, write a 3–5 page reflection on ways to incorporate self-regulated learning as a motivational approach, addressing the following:

- Explain your motivation for learning about the chosen topic.
- Describe each phase of the self-regulated learning (SRL) approach to learning.
- Describe two benefits and two challenges that may be associated with self-regulated learning.
Apply self-regulated learning to the topic you want to learn:
- Outline a strategy to apply self-regulated learning to improve this learning situation.
- Include the main activities that you would use in each phase (that is, forethought, performance, and self-reflection). Note: Refer to Table 9.3 on page 330 of the textbook for further clarification.
