Self-Regulation Practice
Self-regulation is a consistent process of organizing and managing thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and environment (Ramdass, 2011). It involves setting goals, selecting appropriate learning strategies, maintaining motivation, and monitoring and evaluating academic progress. The self-regulation processes and self-beliefs also include time management, managing the environment (distractions), maintaining attention, and self-efficacy.
Students who use self-regulatory practices are higher achievers. Evidence shows that self-regulation skills and motivational beliefs correlate positively with homework activities (Ramdass, 2011). Homework assignments help at risk and struggling students develop motivation and self-regulation skills.
Self-regulation operates in the cognitive (learning strategies), motivational (self-efficacy, task value), and metacognitive (self-monitoring, self-reflection) areas of psychological functioning. Self-regulation motivation enables students to believe in their own individual capabilities. Cognitive self-regulation relates to the learning strategies and is...
Metacognition enables goal setting and the monitoring of the learning progress.
Mastery of self-regulation depends on the belief in one's own capabilities and individual expectations of success. How a student views their own capabilities and their own expectations of success for themselves determines how well they master self-regulation skills. As a student gains confidence in their own abilities with homework assignments, they can raise their own expectations of the success they choose to achieve.
Self-regulation skills are important for academic success and are key components to professional success. Students must be motivated to use learning strategies and regulate their own performance. "Different cognitive strategies, such as rehearsal, elaboration, or organizational strategies, have been found to foster active cognitive engagement in learning and higher levels of achievement" (Pintrich, 1990).
Expectancy, a student's belief of their own abilities, is linked to the use of cognitive strategies and management efforts (Pintrich, 1990). What a student…

Motivating Students to Learn: One of challenging and difficult tasks for teachers and parents is motivating students to complete their classes with a sense of pride, achievement and graduate with their peers. This task is particularly challenging for students who are have been unenthusiastic over time and those who are struggling. As a result of the lack of motivation and prevailing struggles, such students start to demonstrate learned helplessness. Learned helplessness
Debates can be formulated for and against with evidence presented that supports one side or the other. First written down, these arguments can then be presented in written and oral forms, thereby reinforcing English usage in two forms: written and oral (Walvoord, 1982). Further strategies for converting the teaching into a relevant exercise are by having students summarize and critique articles and drafts (Walvoord, 1982), and by using dyadic
(Fletcher & Crochiere, 2004) Motivation to Learn Motivation to learn can be defined as the degree of cognitive effort invested to achieve educational goals (Li, 2003). It can also be understood as the degree of "seriousness" with which a student attempts to address the commitments and targets school with the purpose of: a) master the knowledge and skills rather than and get away with doing the minimum, b) clearly verify the
Motivating the Adult Learner Being educated through conventional mode of educational process involving the classroom and teacher motivated approaches, adult learners are perceived as unreceptive learners. Society is characterized by more of adults in comparison to the youths and with more number of matured adults the society as a whole is visualized as more educated and exhibits variety of culture and racial milieu. In order to maintain the current status of
• Feeling lack of control because of too many rules and regulations of white institutions. • Fitting in at school may fail to be a priority. • Lack of positive interracial relationships before and during college. • Lack of parental support. (Arnold, 1999). 3. Main Factors Affecting Retention and Attrition Many of the central factors affecting retention and attrition have already been discussed above. As was referred to, preparation is a central factor that was found
Now we have examined two extremes in educational thought that have developed over the past century. Teacher centered and student centered philosophies differ significantly in their approach to the student-teacher relationship. Teacher centered philosophy does not depend on the student's wants and needs at all. Teacher centered philosophy uses antiquated methods, such as rote learning. However, these methods are quickly being replaced by a more student-centered approach. Student centered approaches
