1. DEVELOPMENT OF A SET OF SELF-REGULATED LEARNING STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE STUDENT INTEREST AND ACHIEVEMENT IN SCIENCE JAMES A. SHYMANSKY UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-ST. LOUIS

2. THE PROBLEM  Nation at Risk (1984)  Declining interest  Under-representation  System focus hasn’t worked

3. SSRL--FOCUS ON THE STUDENT  Monitor one’s learning  Evaluate one’s performance  Make strategic control decisions

4. COMPLEMENTARY SRL STRATEGIES  Confidence Questioning (CQ)  Confidence Weighting (CW)

5. CQ-CW OVERVIEW

6. THEORETICAL BASIS FOR CQ/CW STRATEGIES

7. CQ CLOSE-UP  Question on “big science idea” (NGSS)  Ask for show of confidence in answer  Record confidence ratings  Discuss science idea  Repeat cycle after instruction

8. CW CLOSE-UP  Student answers quiz/test question  Student rates confidence in answers  Quiz/test scored with and without weights  Student graded on “higher” score

9. SAMPLE CW QUIZ Assign a point value of 2, 3 or 4 points to each of your multiple choice answers so that the total for items 1-5 is 15 points and assign 3, 5, or 7 points to each of your constructed response answers so that the total for items 6-9 is 20 points. The total point value of the quiz is 35 points.

10. HYPOTHESIZED CQ AND CW EFFECTS

11. PROJECT PLAN  Development, Feasibility, Pilot Study  Focus on high school chemistry  (Phase 1) Alpha level development  (Phase 2) Beta level revision and fine-tuning  (Phase 3) Quasi-experimental pilot study

12. PILOT STUDY  Treatments: CQ/CW and control classrooms  Outcomes: SRL and science achievement  3-Level HLM (treatment, student demographics, teacher/school)

13. OPEN INVITATION  Projected to begin August 2014  Parallel studies invited
