Abstract
Abstract It is important for learners to engage in self-regulated learning (SRL), as it predicts academic achievement in a wide range of disciplines. However, SRL can be difficult to enact. Therefore, scaffolds have been designed to support SRL. In our introductory article to this special issue on facilitating SRL with scaffolds, we present a framework to categorize different scaffolds, place the contributions to this special issue in the framework, present highlights from the contributions, and conclude with a discussion on designing scaffolds to facilitate SRL.
期刊介绍:
The journal "Metacognition and Learning" addresses various components of metacognition, such as metacognitive awareness, experiences, knowledge, and executive skills.
Both general metacognition as well as domain-specific metacognitions in various task domains (mathematics, physics, reading, writing etc.) are considered. Papers may address fundamental theoretical issues, measurement issues regarding both quantitative and qualitative methods, as well as empirical studies about individual differences in metacognition, relations with other learner characteristics and learning strategies, developmental issues, the training of metacognition components in learning, and the teacher’s role in metacognition training. Studies highlighting the role of metacognition in self- or co-regulated learning as well as its relations with motivation and affect are also welcomed.
Submitted papers are judged on theoretical relevance, methodological thoroughness, and appeal to an international audience. The journal aims for a high academic standard with relevance to the field of educational practices.
One restriction is that papers should pertain to the role of metacognition in learning situations. Self-regulation in clinical settings, such as coping with phobia or anxiety outside learning situations, is beyond the scope of the journal.
