Self-Regulation01:25

Self-Regulation

194
Self-regulation, also known as self-control, encompasses a range of cognitive and behavioral processes that allow individuals to adjust their internal states and outward actions to align with socially acceptable norms and long-term goals. It plays a fundamental role in adaptive functioning, from resisting impulsive behaviors to persisting through challenging tasks. While its benefits are widely recognized, self-regulation is not limitless. Muraven and Baumeister's theory posits that...

Metacognition01:26

Metacognition

618
Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...

Protecting Self-Esteem

176
Self-esteem, a central component of psychological well-being, is actively maintained through various cognitive and behavioral strategies. Individuals employ specific mechanisms to preserve a positive self-concept and mitigate threats to their self-worth, particularly in contexts involving social evaluation or personal feedback. Four primary techniques are commonly used to sustain self-esteem.Manipulating AppraisalsOne prominent strategy involves manipulating appraisals from others. Individuals...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.7K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Self-Discrepancy Theory

18.8K
One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

248
The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Summary

First-generation students improved self-regulated learning (SRL) skills through an Academic Self-Regulation (ASR) program with a mobile app. This intervention closed the SRL gap between first-generation and continuing-generation students in health professions.

Area of Science:

  • Health Professions Education
  • Educational Psychology
  • Digital Learning

Background:

  • First-generation students often face systemic challenges impacting their academic success.
  • Self-regulated learning (SRL) is crucial for student engagement and readiness in occupational therapy.
  • Lower SRL skills are frequently observed in first-generation students compared to their peers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of an Academic Self-Regulation (ASR) program, enhanced by a mobile application, on SRL skills.
  • To investigate differences in SRL between first-generation and continuing-generation health professions students.
  • To determine if the ASR program mitigates existing SRL disparities.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods approach combining pretest-posttest surveys and semi-structured interviews.
  • Utilized the Self-Regulated Learning Perception Scale (SRLPS) to measure SRL components.
  • Included both first-generation and continuing-generation health professions students.

Main Results:

  • Baseline assessment revealed lower SRL scores (motivation, planning, self-directedness) in first-generation students.
  • Significant improvements in all SRL domains were observed post-intervention, with large effect sizes (Cohen's d = 1.41-1.64).
  • The intervention effectively eliminated pre-existing differences in SRL between the two student groups.

Conclusions:

  • Structured SRL instruction, integrated with digital tools like a mobile app, can significantly enhance academic participation.
  • The ASR program demonstrates potential for promoting educational equity among diverse student populations.
  • This approach supports the professional development of students in occupational therapy programs.
