How can we teach learners to learn?

When students set goals and monitor their self-efficacy they can boost their achievement potential by 30 percent High-achieving students tend to self-regulate more automatically than low-achieving students Lower achievers tended to self-regulate more if they were motivated to learn course material

How can you do it? Identify course objectives up front spell out what learners should learn across the course Ask learners to monitor their efficacy in meeting objectives Emphasise concept relevance build in plenty of examples to explain each concept and relate new ideas to previously covered ones learners will be more motivated to self-regulate if they see the relevance Question learners frequently give them regular assignments and tests so they can tell how well they're learning if they realise what they're missing they can find the time to rectify it Tie feedback to key concepts frame comments on tests, homework or projects in terms of how well learners' answers match course objectives and their self-efficacy judgments this "post-mortem" analysis helps students see what they should restudy
