Leopoldina statement on self-regulation
The Leopoldina has set itself the goal of promoting self-regulation in children more strongly. In a statement, the working group ‘Promoting self-regulation skills in children and young people’ has called for the promotion of these skills to become a guiding principle of the German education system. Prof. Dr. Florian Schmiedek also contributed to the statement as a member of this working group.
Research findings on self-regulation in the classroom
A new study by Friederike Blume in the Cognitive Development Lab uses a diary study to show that there is a connection between teaching quality and self-regulation, especially for pupils with ADHD symptoms. The DIPF researcher primarily investigated the question: Does good teaching promote pupils’ attention and behaviour? The result: pupils are better able to self-regulate in lessons that they consider to be particularly well implemented. The results of the study have been published in the scientific journal “Learning and Instruction” under the title “It counts in every single lesson: Between- and within-person associations of teaching quality and student self-regulation“.
Learning comic on self-organised learning published
To illustrate the concept of self-organised learning for pupils, Solveig Gresselmeyer has created the learning comic “From learning grouch to learning ninja – a short guide to self-organised learning” in collaboration with the Individualized Interventions Lab. We are pleased to be able to share the publication in German language with you. This work is licensed under CC BY 4.0 DE.
