Strategies for goal setting and planning in Self-Regulated Learning: TLC-FMG lunch seminar recap
In the ever-evolving landscape of higher education, Self Regulated Learning (SRL) has become an essential skill for students. The TLC FMG Lunch Seminar on March 25, 2025, provided an in-depth exploration of SRL, emphasizing the critical role of goal setting and planning in fostering student motivation and academic success. This blog post delves into the seminar’s key insights and provides practical strategies that teachers can implement to support their students in becoming more self-regulated learners.

Self-Regulated Learning Projects
For teachers in higher education, fostering SRL is no longer a supplementary goal but a cornerstone of academic success and career readiness. Recognising this, the TLC-FMG is taking steps to address the gap in SRL skills.
In January, March, and May, we will host three interactive sessions each focussing on a different aspect of SRL to deepen the teaching community’s understanding, with an emphasis on practical strategies to guide students in learning how to learn.
