SIG Self-Regulated learning
Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are interfaculty groups of teachers that work together on a specific theme. The SIG Self-Regulated Learning focuses on strengthening the ability of students and lecturers to consciously plan, monitor, and evaluate the learning process. This is a cyclical process. Self-regulation means not only directing individual learning, but also learning collaboratively and with the support of others. In this way, the SIG contributes to promoting effective and sustainable learning, both within and outside of programs.
Our mission is to create a thriving community of practice dedicated to identifying, sharing, and utilizing knowledge and tools that enhance self-regulation skills for both students and teachers at the University of Amsterdam.
Who is this SIG for?
In this SIG, we bring together colleagues from various faculties and disciplines who have an affinity for self-regulated learning. We share knowledge, experiences, and ideas, and together we explore concrete ways to better support students in their learning process.
Whether you’re a teacher, policymaker, educational expert, coordinator, director, or researcher: your perspective is valuable!
Do you want to work with others to increase students’ self-direction and responsibility? Are you interested in strengthening their self-regulation skills and those of teachers?
Then we warmly invite you to participate in the new Special Interest Group (SIG) on Self-Regulated Learning!
