Optimizing Processes of Self-Regulated Learning by Means of Digital Prompting Techniques
The PROMPT project is developing an evidence-based, child-orientated learning plan app that supports schoolchildren in self-regulated learning with digital media.
Project description
Digital learning environments place high demands on the self-regulation skills of learners, which children are often not yet able to fulfil due to their development. The PROMPT project aims to research and develop tools to improve self-regulated learning in digital learning environments for schoolchildren. The knowledge generated in the project is to be made as widely accessible as possible so that it can be used by schoolchildren to support their self-regulated learning as well as by companies in the education sector and educational institutions for new products or to improve existing applications. The child-friendly learning plan app “PROMPT” will be a central aspect of this knowledge transfer. This app is intended to practically implement and illustrate the scientific findings that are important for improving self-regulated learning with learning apps for schoolchildren. The project involves extensive, multi-stage optimisation research into the design of the learning plan app so that it is as effective as possible. A prototype of the app is prepared for broad usability and accessibility for companies and educational institutions and is distributed as an open educational resource. The final version of the app will be made available for use by end users and schools in the standard app stores. The PROMPT project thus aims to make a direct contribution to supporting children’s self-regulation in dealing with digital learning environments.
Project goal
The central aim of the project is to research and develop tools to improve self-regulated learning in digital learning environments for schoolchildren. The findings should be made as widely accessible as possible so that schoolchildren, educational institutions and companies in the education sector can make direct use of them. The child-friendly learning plan app “PROMPT” represents a central aspect of this knowledge transfer.
