to understand
knowledge and learning, we must better understand the importance of contexts,
social relationships, collaboration, and cooperation. Self-regulated
learning does not mean that knowledge and learning exists solely in the mind
of an individual. Rather, self-regulated learning recognizes that individuals
have some control over their own learning, across contexts, across relationships,
and across situations. We think that teachers who use a psychological lens
to analyze students’ strategies, motivation, and attitudes gain deeper
understanding about students’ behavior in the classroom which, in turn,
allows them to design better instruction that can make learning more meaningful
for them.
