Talk:Self-regulated learning

Typo?
In the section Sources of Self-Regulated Learning, there is the phrase "interest-creating discovery model", followed a bit later by "interest-creating discovery module". Neither phrase as used makes much sense, at least to a layman in psychology like me, but probably one of these is a typo?Doug1943 09:01, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Very wordy, but lacking support
What this article lacks is reference to some supporting evidence that self-regulated learning actually works. In other words, that SRL designs lead to better student performance. All the "theories" and models explaining why it should work are okay, but that seems to be all this article includes (and it includes too many giving the appearance that SRL has actual scientific backing). It is not sufficient to say that "self regulated" learners do better than unregulated learners as the support for that assertion is correlational and mediating variables could be involved (like general intelligence). A major unaddressed question is whether any (instructional?) techniques can change a students' level of self regulation. Studies exist that show such interventions can change student knowledge of self regulation (i.e., the content of the self regulation instruction) but where is the evidence that such interventions change student performance on targeted learning? Lovett, Meyer and Thille (2008), for example, didn't check self regulation--they compared an online instructorless (NOT instructionless) course to a classroom environment--AND FOUND NO DIFFERENCE in exam performance. Student self regulation was not manipulated or even measured. How is this support for self-regulated learning? The self-regulation movement has published many articles about the ideology of self regulated learning, one expects that at some point they will begin to back up claims with experimental evidence rather than mere argument. Until then, this article needs to indicate the speculative nature of this concept AND include a section on criticisms and counter arguments.Robotczar (talk) 15:51, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Added references as superscripts
As part of #1lib1ref, I attempted to add the references to this page as superscripts. I did the references that were journal articles or books. Unfortunately, I wasn't sure how to do chapters so I left those alone. I removed from the notes section any citations that are now part of the reference section.
