Self-regulated learning

Self-regulated learning is an important conceptual framework that includes several aspects of learning: cognitive, metacognitive, behavioural, motivational, and emotional (Panadero, 2017). Zimmerman (2000) developed a SRL cyclical phases model organised in three phases: (1) forethought, (2) performance and (3) self-reflection. In the first phase, students set their goals, activate learning strategies, and try to accomplish their objectives; in the performance phase, they execute the task, monitor their progress, and use strategies to keep engagement and motivation. Finally, in the self-reflection phase, students evaluate their performance, which will affect their later performance positively or negatively. (Zimmerman & Moylen, 2009; Panadero, 2017).
