Abstract:
Despite the significance of self-regulated learning as an important educational goal, teachers face difficulties in fostering students' skills in self-regulated learning (SRL). Teachers exhibit variability in their capacity to foster SRL. There is no guarantee that students consistently benefit from their teachers' promotion of SRL. This study aims to address this issue by examining (1) how teachers promote SRL, (2) the relationship between teachers' professional competences and their promotion of SRL, and (3) the association between teachers' promotion of SRL and students' SRL. Data from N = 54 teachers and their N = 823 lower secondary school students were analysed using online questionnaires, knowledge tests, and video recordings. The analysed video data reveals that teachers foster SRL predominantly implicitly, invest most of the time in promoting metacognitive strategies and primarily design learning environments that foster student support. Overall, only a few significant correlations were found between teachers' professional competences and their promotion of SRL. Further, the results indicate no clear correlation pattern between teachers' promotion and students' skills in SRL. Further research should shed more light on the relationship between teachers' promotion of SRL and students' SRL to better understand whether and how they might be related.

Cognitive Learning
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...
Steps in the Modeling Process
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...
