Self-Regulation and Co-Regulation

Self-regulated learning is defined as the degree to which students are active participants in their own academic learning with respect to motivational, behavioral, metacognitive, and cognitive aspects.

Co-regulated learning is understood as the social regulation of learning, in which students temporarily regulate their cognition, behavior, motivation and emotions in situations of temporary regulation coordination with peers or teachers.

Regulated learning involves four phases, which are planning, monitoring, controlling and executing. The following framework presents several processes of self-regulation and co-regulation that occur in each of the phases, categorized by cogitive/socio-cognitive, behavioral and contextual aspects.
