Summary

This chapter briefly surveys historical cornerstones on which current conceptions of learning strategies rest. Building on this foundation, modern research on self-regulated learning, metacognition, motivation, and decision-making is synthesized. Key features of tasks – condition, operations, products, evaluations, and standards (COPES) – are coordinated with major dimensions of motivation (the AEIOU model: attributions, efficacy expectations, incentives, outcome expectations, utility judgments) to account for how learners reach decisions about how to study – how they self-regulate learning. A methodology using traces of learners’ activities is proposed for characterizing temporally unfolding features of self-regulated learning.
