Thank you for this clear explanation of self-regulated learning. I appreciated how you connected Zimmerman’s work with the key processes of metacognition, motivation, and behavior. Your post highlights well how SRL helps learners take responsibility for planning, monitoring, and evaluating their own learning. I also liked how you emphasized confidence and lifelong learning as important outcomes. This was a very informative and well-organized update!
Autorregularse, sin duda, es un gran reto.
No obstante, si se logra se ayuda a tener éxito en la vida y no sólo en la escuela .
Para que sea posible, es necesario que la retroalimentación que genere el docente vaya dirigida, como usted menciona, hacia el desarrollo de los procesos metacognitivos para llegar a adquirir las habilidades y conocimientos requeridos.
Buen aporte!
